Just like with my previous lists of ‘games to add to your hacked Sega Mini’, PART 9 does not attempt to claim that these are the best retro titles ever. Instead, these are games that, to me, still feel appealing to actually spend time playing all these years/decades later, especially given all the more modern ways one can distract themselves in the modern world. And since I recently went back to the hack to add a USB stick + systems like the PS1 & GBA and even ancient things like Atari to my Sega Mini, there’s a whole new library of possible titles to choose from that weren’t available back when I was making earlier lists of only SEGA/NES/SNES titles.

So, with that in mind, here’s my final list of games that I think are definitely worth adding to your hacked Sega Mini… if you happen to also be spending some of these covid quarantine days in a retro video game rabbit hole & have similar elder millennial tastes as me (tmi: I made this final list 15 games instead of 10 as my goal with this quarantine project was to end up with a HI54 Top Shelf folder on my Sega Mini home screen that consisted of 95 top shelf games in total, as I read somewhere that you don’t want to put more than 100 games on any one page + the Mini displays pages in rows of 6 & when including an icon for going back to the main menu, that makes 95 the perfect number to cap things off at).

Ok, that’s it for this final edition of games that I would recommend making sure you add to your hacked Sega Mini if you’re an old millennial with similar gaming tastes as me (and if you missed it / are interested, here’s my updated guide on how to your Sega Mini with Hakchi, which includes info on incorporating a USB stick for storage and adding PS1 games & more).

If you want more than the 15 recommendations above, you can check out my other lists of games…

…and then you can let me know whether you think my overall collection of ‘games to add to your hacked Sega Mini’ is totally rubbish or kinda decent, or which games you cannot believe I have not included (keep in mind that these ‘Top Shelf’ lists just make up my one folder of 95 games that I’m most likely to find myself playing, but since I have incorporated a USB stick into my hack, I actually have room for 100s and 100s and even 1000s of games on my Mini — so always interested in someone else’s personal recommendations).

* For legal reasons, I suppose I should add that this post is entirely a work of fiction and I would never actually hack my Sega Mini with games I did not acquire in whatever the proper legal manner is for acquiring old 90s games in 2020 — in fact I would never even hack my Sega Mini, period, because hacking is bad, kids. "Follow the rules and always do things the way you were told to do them" — that's my motto. SEGA!
