Action games are the backbone of every library here — platformers, run-and-guns, beat-’em-ups and anything else measured in reflexes rather than planning. It is the genre that arcade hardware was built for and the one that translated most directly to home consoles.
Because these games were designed around short sessions and immediate feedback, they are the easiest place to start if you have not played anything from this era in a while.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as an action game here?
Platformers, beat-’em-ups, run-and-guns, shooters and hack-and-slash titles — anything driven primarily by timing and reflexes rather than turn-based decisions.
Which action games work best with a keyboard?
Two-button platformers and single-plane beat-’em-ups play fine on a keyboard. Titles with diagonal aiming or six-button layouts are noticeably better on a gamepad.
