Thanks for sharing this, I genuinely had no idea

i found this hack of Arcana to be great, and I don’t usually enjoy dungeon crawlers. The auto mapper is a big part of that https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/4505/

Kirby Super Saga for SNES plays a lot like a modern indie platformer (or they play like it I guess)

The SNES remake of Dragon Quest 1 has a simple gameplay loop of walk around a town fighting for money, buy the equipment at that town, go to the next one, repeat that I find very enjoyable. The original game came with a map and guide so don’t hesitate to look at a walkthrough.
