In my opinion it is: Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals - the original SNES version.

Yes, it beats the 2D zelda games like Oracle of seasons/ages, Link to the Past.... the 2D Zelda series come close 2nd.

But Lufia II was superior in every other aspect: story, music, dialogs, narrative, tactical combat - and the puzzles were at par of old Zelda games; still Zelda' puzzles feel tad superior though.

It was a complete game. Skip Lufia 1, it was garbage (and Lufia 2 is a prequel anyway).

I prefer Dungeon Keeper 1, much darker.

DK 2 wasn't bad tho, its expansion missions were so hard.

Baldur's Gate 1/2 > Neverwinter Nights.

oh and stardash, its brutal but really nice gameboy graphics I can play on my phone when waiting. It's not technically retro because it came out a few years ago
