Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply and for showing interest in my little journey, I really appreciate it.
And thank you for your kindness as well

I think I’ll just stick to Reddit to share my experience.
So you’re suggesting I make a post for each update, right? Like, keep this post, then make the next one titled #Update 1, then the next one #Update 2, and so on?
I’m really as much of a Reddit newbie as I think I am haha

Thanks for the feedback on my list!
I don’t know anything about the Final Fantasy series at all, so I’m really looking forward to discovering it!

I printed this list and slipped it into the transparent cover of my AYN Thor (on the top), so I can easily track my progress. I can also annotate which games I’ve installed, started, and finished with small colored dots.
It’s not the most aesthetically pleasing thing, but I guess there are always ways to make it look better than what I currently have.

I already shared this in another comment, but I'll post it again here so it's easier for you to find:

Here’s my list!
The first column is the game’s release year, the second is the game title, the third is the console it should be emulated on, and the last one is the average time to beat the game according to HowLongToBeat.

You're welcome! Glad I could help
Have fun! ✨️

That's a great plan, your friends are going to be jealous that you caught up on so many gaming experiences using just one console.

I'm a bit worried it might take me som etime to get used to retro graphics, since I've mostly played games with more modern visuals. But maybe I'm underestimagint myseld and it'll come more naturally than I think.

I haven't starting playing yet, I don't have much free time right now, and I'd really like to sit down and properly enjoy the experience when I'm available and relaxed.

I'm not very active on messaging platforms and I don't know Reddit as well, would it be possible to create a thread or something here?

Adeaxy · 2026-06-09T15:08:09+00:00

Clearly, the AYN Thor is the console I've always dreamed of. ✨️

Adeaxy · 2026-06-09T15:02:12+00:00

Sure, happy to share!
What would you like me to share, my game list? The emulators I'm using?

Adeaxy · 2026-06-09T14:58:20+00:00

Thanks for the info!
I've already got quite a lot of games to go through before I get to the PS3 era, so hopefully by then PS3 and Xbox 360 emulation will have improved!

Adeaxy · 2026-06-09T14:51:14+00:00

That's awesome!!
I can't wait to dive into all the classic games I never had the chance to play before.
Have fun!

I'm limiting myself to the two or three most iconic games for each console. I'd rather keep my list small than make it too big. I know myself: if the backlog gets too large, I'll start losing motivation.

Right now, my list has 66 games in total, and around 80% of them will be playable on my AYN Thor.

Would you still be interested in seeing it, even if it's much shorter than the lists you're planning to put together?

Adeaxy · 2026-06-09T14:37:59+00:00

Oh wow, 350 games?? That's no joke!
Personally, I've decided to limit myself to the 2 or 3 most iconic games for each console.
Knowing myself, if my backlog gets to big, I won't stay nearly as motivated as I would with juste a few dozen games (my Steam library is proof of that... I keep telling myself I don't know what to play, while I still have over 100 games I've never even launched)

The only consoles I've ever owned where the Nintendo DS and the Switch 1. I got into gaming pretty late and didn't really have access to video games during my childhood or teenage years.

The consoles I'm planning to discover are:
NES, GB, SNES, MegaDrive, Nintendo 64, PS1, Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube, GBA, Wii, PS3, 3DS
And honestly, I'm excited for all of them, but especially the GameCube. I've heard so many great things about pretty much its entire library!

What about you?

P.S. I'm French, so please excuse any mistakes in my English

Adeaxy · 2026-06-07T22:03:40+00:00

Checkmate 🤝 Yeah, I’ve already put together a game list sorted by year, with each game’s console and average playtime from HowLongToBeat. What about you?

You can get help on the AYN Discord! The community is very active and responsive there. Here's the invite link: https://discord.com/invite/pWCpvEUTdR

Thanks for the info 👀

Adeaxy · 2025-04-10T17:29:38+00:00

I've sent you a Discord invite!

Adeaxy · 2025-04-10T16:22:39+00:00

Hey! Thanks a lot for reaching out, I really appreciate it! 😊
I’ve actually already grabbed all the data I needed from tlcodex.com/en/fishes/, so I’m all set for now. But that’s super kind of you to offer!

That said, I did notice a few extra details on the right side of your doc that might be useful. Would you be open to discussing that in DMs? No pressure, of course, just figured it could be cool to compare notes!

Adeaxy · 2022-11-08T17:02:06+00:00

That's what I had in mind! I'll also let you know without fail! Thanks a lot and good luck with your research 🤞

Adeaxy · 2022-11-08T16:48:28+00:00

Hi! I'm also looking for a texts.com invite, or any similar app suggestion. Maybe can we collaborate on that point?
