Hello. I got a walkpad a month or so ago (it’s a small treadmill) and I try to walk 1hr per day daily for health.

As far as making the most of this otherwise boring workout I have found it helps to play relaxing games on my CRT. I have a PC but lean more towards pre 2005 games (it’s not a limit though).

I mention the treadmill because the games have to be engaging but not require 100% of your attention. For example I finished Resident Evil 1 the other day. It was a wonderful game although it had a lot of backtracking which was annoying.

A bad example would be Megaman 1 (too strenuous and attention requiring, also brutal)

A good example would be civ2 on the PS1.

In terms of what games I can play, I can pretty much play everything up to 2005 either handheld or console up to that time. I have a PC/ 3DS/ Analogue Pocket.

I lean towards pre 2005 games but not limited to that. I don’t really have any specific genres in mind so you can recommend whatever you want and enjoy.

    Agreed! There are several good ones on 3DS.

    Advance Wars is also a great option - you can play a couple of them on 3DS with back-compatibility. Or, of the pocket can play GBA, there’s those.

    And there are some PC games out there (although much more recent than 2005) that are in similar genres, like WarGroove or Dark Deity.
