Help me making a to play list

SNES
Legend of the Mystical Ninja - unique mix of side-scrolling platformer and top-down action with minigames, humorous, tough but rewarding
Super Probotector/Contra 3 - tough as nails but oh so good, also mixing genres like the above, some of the best music on the SNES
Super the Empire Strikes Back - more for fans of Star Wars, requires high frustration tolerance; still proud I finished this as a kid
Secret of Mana
Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse
Turtles in Time
N64
Star Wars Shadows of the Empire - not just for fans
Saturn
Panzer Dragoon Saga - I dearly love this RPG, cinematic, awesome soundtrack; true one-of-a-kind experience, sensawunda stronk
Dragon Force - unique strategy
Story of Thor 2 - similar to a Zelda game with a variety of melee combos; pleasing audio
Three Dirty Dwarves - unique Beat-em-up for up to three players, great humor, creative boss fights, good audio; this one was stolen from me in school :-(
Die Hard Arcade - tough but fun beat-em-up
Deep Fear - Resident Evil under Water
In the Hunt - side-scrolling shooter under water
Nights into Dreams - one of a kind game, reminds me more of a racing game than anything else
Guardian Heroes - another unique title, beat-em-up with RPG elements
The Crow - just kidding, this is as awful as it gets; have a look for a laugh
Also loved Virtua Cop. Maybe could be played using touch screen? But obviously light gun is the way to go for those.
Tomb Raider - also available on PS1; when it comes to immersion this is my favourite of the series
PS1
Nightmare Creatures - moody, horror themed 3rd person melee
Front Mission - round based military mech tactics with lots of dialogue and good amount of customization and lore to explore
I mostly played racing games on it: Gran Tourismo, V-Rally, Colin McRae Rally, WRC
Tomba! or Tombi, whatever it's called, and the successor, lovely 2,5 D platformers
Deathtrap Dungeon - hard as nails 3rd person hack n slash with cool levels
Discworld Noir - great adventure if you like Pratchett. On the other hand the "regular" Discworld games are tripe. Funny, yes, but very bad as actual adventure games unless you wanna play with a walkthrough.
Ghost in the Shell - cool 3rd person shooter piloting a Tachikoma. Walk on walls and ceilings!
Einhander - unique horizontal shooter where you use big ass weapons left behind by your enemies
GB
Mystic Quest - an action variant of Final Fantasy
GBA
Golden Sun
Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Sword of Mana
I remember loving an isometric 3 D ninja game on the PS1, where your guy had two different swords, one for stealing some aspect of an emey, and the other for actually hitting stuff with. Thought it was a goemon spin-off. Anybody know the name?

Ok sorry for being ~snotty. This list represents my favorites on rpi. The 2D games are ones I remember but the ps1 ones are a distilled collection of games I like / want to play. All quality games with the exception of too many basketball and racing ones. I made effort to choose the best games in series / versions. The games you seek are in this list. Sorry I can’t be more specific in my suggestions. Actually recommending video games is pretty damn iffy.
in worst case just make a Gaming Projekt, like i did try whit the Mario Games a year ago (but not finished yet)
I also some times make some Retro Challenges: i plan to repeat one on the Win Mini i did back then on the Steamdeck: You take an Beat em Up Series, like Say Street Fighter, and beginning from the oldest Console it got released for you start the Game whit the Survival Mode, and when you lose, you continue whit the next System so you have from NES to PS2 played the Game.. maybe whit a Different Charakter.. some Emulations Systems even got an Filter ^^

phew, i just received half a terabyte of roms.
"these are sorted for only containing good stuff" and yet there we are with 4000 freaking entries.
I am not so sure anymore if it makes even sense to write a list down, one can put 10 years of gaming into "good" titles and still havnt reached the psp era.
I need to rethink what i want to write here.
Maybe i should take my time to explore each existing system for a couple of weeks and then note my findings.

My gaming approach radically changed after starting to use Pandafe. I don't have to think what to play anymore. Usually I scroll through the list of my most played games (or most recent, depending on the mood). Also have a list of favorites, games I tried once and want to pick up again later. Unfortunately not all systems are supported by Pandafe, but that is also a good thing it limits the already huge amount of games to choose from.
If I feel advanturous (nowadays that is very rarely..) I look on youtube for the 10 or 25 best games video of a certain system and try some of them. When I like it enough it will automatically go from my most recently played games to my most played list.
Funny thing is that Pandafe even changed what I thought I'd play most. Seems I don't play action / arcade style games or adventures as much and rather play short bursts of strategy and puzzle games.

Concentrate on one-of-a-kind games. Unique experiences > "good" games. Saturn has a bunch of em, see above.
Half a Tb on Roms is something that is maybe no wonder when there are lots of "CD Based Games", on my RetroBat Folder on Win Mini, there is also this amount, but i did not buy an Device where they where Preeinstalled ..
I will try an DS 500 in 1 Game this weekend, so if this works on New 2DS XL i can use 23 Slots of my 24 in 1 Gamebox for 3DS Games..
If your Device got an Random Game Option, you could run the Game its sugesst, and if you see by the Filename its garbage (Movie Licence (expect its a Lego Game), or an Barbie Game), you can activate the Random Game another time ..

@elw3 did we help? did you discover any excellent games? I keep trying different racing games across platforms to great disappointment. it's like, now we've got all this awesome hardware but no creativity. anyway, found this game-of-the-month list on reddit and it does contain a some excellent sleepers. https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/wiki/gotm/

Well that links looks helpful. Thanks for that.
But as for the posts: I have still not found the time to look these up.
I neither have found the time to set up my consoles yet.
I am currently playing virtual boy for whatever reason. I think thats the most underrated system out there.

Prior to launch, Shigeru Miyamoto discussed the Virtual Boy. He said it renders wireframe graphics, but its effects are generally used for two-dimensional games with depth-separated planes. He stated that the graphics are not as appealing, and while developing the Nintendo 64, he had ruled out the use of wireframe graphics as too sparse to draw player characters. Finally, he stated that he perceived the Virtual Boy as a novelty that should not have used the Nintendo license so prominently.
ouch!
I got my vb back 5 years ago and it was moldy.
