I just want to kill some time, I like simple arcade style games that aren't using scummy corporate sales tactics to get me to play every day

Knights of the old Republic has been on there for a while.

Emulators.

Slay the Spire.

I've never bothered to set up an emulator on my phone but it's a great idea, any recommendations in particular?

GameBoy Advance games work really well IMO, they're designed for small screens and lengthening aspect ratios leave tons of space for virtual buttons.

Advance Wars is awesome. I played it only on mobile 😅

FF Tactics Advance is one I return to fairly often.

Gameboy advance games also make great games to play on a TV for the same reasons!

Basically anything really well rated should be fine!

I don't think I've mobile gamed without emulators for like 4 or 5 gens of phones now. I was a young man back in those days...
