When it came to emulation, I used to play the fan-patched English translated versions of Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden and Super Robot Wars J back in the day. Tactical RPGs are great to pick up and put down whenever.
More recently I used to play the Dragon Village franchise games - specifically DVM and DV2 (as DV1 was not engaging, DVW was farmville-like and not my kind of game, DVB was some block matching thing and also not my kind of game.) I got out of DVM because they were not moving the story forward for years, I'd done basically everything, and then they took a hard swing into Pay2Win with their events. It's a gatcha game so it always had a slight element of that, but when they had an event where the only way you could win was by whaling, I noped out. Of course, it helped that I'd fallen into DV2 by then, which, while it had some mild gatcha elements, actually had an ongoing story and some actual RPG elements with individual characters(where DVM was focused on team building instead). It also had barely any monetization compartively.
A couple years ago though the parent company bought it back and unofficially stuck it into maintenance mode at the same time they released two new DV games, DVNEW and DVX. DVX was a even more autopilot version of DVM, so once I finished the story I put it aside to wait, and DVNEW's only point to me was that it finally put all the worldbuilding lore into a single story sequence I could go through, so I dropped that once I'd finished its story. Both of them died early this year, then they finally murdered DV2 a few months ago after over a year of no updates and even no events.
I still like the universe and the dragons and characters, but the only games they really seem to care about keeping around now are the original DV and DVM, and I'm not interested in investing the time to get caught back up in DVM. There's a new game DVC (Dragon Village Collection) which is more like Flight Rising being more focused on raising and breeding the various dragon types, but there doesn't seem to be much story, and I don't expect it to stick around more than a year with the rate they seem to open and close games.
