Xbox Game Pass: 10 Must-Plays You Should Try

9. Rare Replay

Retro games have steadily been making a comeback over the last decade; in amongst the crowd of remasters and rereleases lies the behemoth that is Rare Replay.

The game includes not just one classic title, but 30, for players to sink hours of their life into all over again; or for the first time, if you're too young to have sat through agonising ZX Spectrum boot-ups before.

Myriad games from the past few decades are all present and correct, although the staying power of classics from the days games came on tapes, like Jetpac and Attic Atac, versus the more advanced offerings like Perfect Dark and Viva PiƱata, is doubtable for all but the most hardcore of retro gamers.

While there is a sad absence of well-loved titles such as GoldenEye 007 and Donkey Kong Country, other familiar faces like Banjo-Kazooie and Conker are present, ready to be played on your Xbox One. If you fancy having an aneurysm, the torturously difficult Battletoads is also available.

Don't say you weren't warned.

I'm perfectly sane, or so the voices tell me. British, sarcastic, president of the European Slinky Association, have a tendency to lie when listing things about myself. 100% guilty of being a massive geek obsessed with Doctor Who, Harry Potter and video games. If you can't find me on the internet, I'm probably locked in a room playing Spyro the Dragon on my old PlayStation, or blowing everything to smithereens with a concrete donkey on Worms: Armageddon.
