What are your favourite offline, low power-usage games? (lemmy.world)

I'll be travelling soon and was wondering what are good games for low power-usage and offline?

Previously I enjoyed:

Into The Breach
Baba Is You
Vampire Survivors
Super Mario All-Stars (SNES)

At the moment I'm planning to set up:

Lufia 2 (SNES)
Shadowrun (SNES + Genesis versions)
Golden Sun (GBA)
A Link To The Past (SNES)
Minish Cap (GBA)
A Link Between Worlds (NDS) - never played it, hopefully the controls map well!
Fire Emblem: Awakening (NDS) - same as above, never had a NDS
Oracle Of Ages (GBA)
Chrono Trigger (SNES)
Ogre Battle 64 (N64) - not sure how bad the power usage is on the N64 emulators

Maybe the Ace Attorney and Professor Layton series too which I haven't played. Also GTA1, London and 2 if they work. I love Advance Wars too but I've played it too many times already.

Basically anything that is easy to run, low power, and easy to play with just the controls and small screen in a cramped space. Ideally nothing too difficult / stressful like Hollow Knight that could be hard to play without good screen brightness or cramped.

I like a lot of older PC games but unfortunately they're difficult to play without a mouse and on the small screen - e.g. Ultima VII and Arx Fatalis.

The Binding of Isaac

I hate myself more than this game.
