I like most genres besides radio pop and variants (especially w/ heavy autotune or screamo elements or when pop has an alternative/underground "costume" so to speak but lacks substance and creativity), eurobeat, crunkcore, modern country, gabber techno, gangster rap, talk show-style jazz fusion, brostep, uh.. polka? I guess I have some preference for rock and electro variants, older r&b/soul, ambient, chamber pop, and just experimental music in general

There generally isn't a genre where I can't find anything to like.

Lately I've been making some post punk and new wave focused playlists, and a dreampop and shoegaze focused one on spotify.

I love them, made it possible to get into shoot 'em ups and other really hard games for me. Of course you need some discipline to not abuse them and ruin the game for yourself.

I also love fastforward and GG codes for old, grindy JRPGs.

I made a big list for myself previously as I've also been meaning to explore more of the Amiga library (which I did grow up with but haven't revisited seriously in years). Basically it lists the best exclusives as well as the good games which had a standout or clearly superior version on the Amiga:

Some favourites from that list:

  • International Karate + - 3-player fighting
  • Cannon Fodder - that intro needs to be shown to the world
  • D/Generation - isometric action adventure
  • Sensible Soccer - had a very distinct feel compared to most other football/soccer games
  • Exile - early metroidvania
  • Gravity Force 1-2 - pixeljunk shooter's grandparents
  • Benefactor, Bubba 'n Stix, Shadow of the Beast III - cool puzzle platformers (best 1 and 2 are better remembered but this one is clearly more polished)
  • Toki, Bomberman/Dynablaster, Bubble Bobble, Rod Land, Parasol Stars, R-Type II - rare examples of good arcade ports
  • Another World - was the best version of the game for quite a while
  • It Came From the Desert - interesting blend of strategy and adventure
  • Moonstone: A Hard Day's Knight - another hybrid, this time of brawler/fighting and strategy
  • Hired Guns - squad based FPS/dungeon crawl similar to Space Hulk for the PC
  • Turrican II - Turrican is the system's answer to action games like Contra, Shinobi 2 and Life Force on the consoles, though the level structure is almost metroid-like
  • Z-Out, Apidya, Disposable Hero, Battle Squadron, Banshee - good western shoot 'em ups
  • Virocop, Chaos Engine - top down run 'n gun
  • Super Skidmarks, ATR Racing, Vroom, Micro Machines - racing
  • North & South, Warlords - strategy

This should have you pretty much covered except for dungeon crawler/wrpg's.

Edit: I'll add a vote for Globdule and Logical mentioned above as while I haven't played them they look pretty interesting. :)
