With the coronavirus and confinement at home, we have no other option but to be at home and find activities so as not to get bored. Some are taking the opportunity to take free online photography courses , while others have already seen the entire catalog that Netflix has at their disposal. More than one will be enjoying their favorite hobby: video games .
Now, if any of you think that current consoles like the PlayStation 4 or cloud services like Google Stadia have nothing to do with the game systems of yesteryear, don’t worry because thanks to Android we can also remember those titles that they made us sweat blood and in which any mistake meant starting the level all over again. For the oldest of the place, this is for you .
Ghosts’n Goblins MOBILE
Back in 1985, Capcom came up with the wonderful idea to create Ghosts’n Goblins . A 2D game in which we handled Sir Arhur, a knight who had to rescue the princess from her kingdom, which had been kidnapped by an evil demon.
One of the most complicated games that exist, mainly because it forced the player to memorize the levels and patterns of the enemies . Despite the fact that Sir Arthur can attack from a distance using spears and other weapons, two touches by enemies served to send good old Arthur to the other neighborhood, something very frequent indeed.
Well, if you miss the complicated platforms, the screaming of despair and throwing the remote – in this case the phone – to the ground, you can do it for only 1.19 euros .

Castlevania: Symphony of The Night
Sorry to say, but with this game one cannot be objective, to the point of having dedicated an exclusive analysis to it . One of the best games of the original PSX and possibly one of the games that have most influenced the video game industry to the point of being the maximum exponent of the so-called “Metroidvania”.
Years after Richter Belmont ends the life of Dracula, the earl’s son, Alucard, goes to his father’s castle, which has mysteriously re-emerged from nowhere . There he will be ambushed by one of the most powerful minions of the vampire who will strip our protagonist of all his abilities and weapons.
For only 3.49 euros, hours and hours of exploration and fun await us.

Dragon quest
Here there was honestly discussion. I was going to put Chrono Trigger taking advantage of his 25th birthday and for being one of the best RPGs in history, but in the end I opted for Dragon Quest , by far the father of role-playing video games.
Dragon Quest was a before and after in the history of video games , since we are honestly talking about what for many was the birth of the modern role in video games, thanks mainly to the designs of Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball.
The first Dragon Quest surely has not aged very well if we compare it with other more modern titles, but considering everything it represents and its price of only 3.49 euros, it is a game that everyone should try at least one once in his life . Moreover, there is practically the rest of the saga in the Google application store, in case you want to try something more modern …

Sonic the Hedgehog Classic
Who has not spent hours and hours running and turning with Sonic through the plains of Green Hill? The famous Sega mascot also has a title for Android and to everyone’s surprise, it is completely free (with ads) .
The game optimized for mobiles – it allows touch and remote control -, maintains the graphics of the fabulous Mega Drive that they fell in love with in 1991 . So there is no excuse to feel like a child again thanks to Sonic and our mobile device.

R-TYPE
We finished with R-TYPE, one of the most mythical shooters of the 80s. The arcade game that made the most five-dollar coins spend an entire generation can be downloaded to our Android device for only 1.99 euros .
Shooting, action in abundance and a multitude of explosions. You know the saying, “classics never go out of style .
