Retro games worth picking up on Android? (lemmy.world)

I stumbled across Baldur's Gate I & II on the app store today and was strongly considering picking them up as something to do on my tablet. I'm interested in people's opinions on those two, as well as other retro game ports available.

I never actually bothered to consider Android as a platform for retro gaming before, and I currently don't own a handheld console, so I'd love any suggestions people have.

The biggest thing is that you won't know how long you will be able to play it. At some point they'll stop updating the app, a new Android version will be released that's not compatible with the app, or they will take down the server that the app relies on etc. It could be years, a decade, but at some point it'll be either really hard or impossible to play anymore.

Ah, this is something I genuinely didn't consider.

I suppose it'd be better to pick up the games I'm interested in on GoG and play them on PC?
