What classic games am I overlooking? (hexbear.net)

I'm gifting my friend's child a handheld emulator and loading it up with games. It's capable of playing things pretty much up to Nintendo GameCube (It's even running Twilight Princess, though it studders in some areas).

I've got pretty much everything that exists for NES, SNES, N64, as well as a couple dozen games for Genesis. I never had a Sega Saturn or a PS / PS2 growing up though and I'm wondering what I should grab for those, as well as some more obscure GameCube titles if there are any I should know about.

Here's your chance to wax nostalgic about some old games and help ensure they make it into a kid's present. Even if I have the game already, I can still throw suggestions into the "favorites" list and make them easier to find.

Yeah, you can library dump a bunch of the classic consoles, so I'm trying to rack my brain for special stuff that has a heavier file size or cool Japan-only games that have a fan translation or don't require language skills.

Can Chibi Robo run on that handheld? It's GCN, so kinda in the iffy area for handheld emulators.

The kid is 12, so as much as I'd like to throw San Andreas on this thing, I would like to avoid being strangled by his mother.

Yeah, that's the age where they have to figure out how to get a hold of it if they really want to play it lol.
