If, like me, you grew up on PS1 black discs and multi-loads, and Konami code muscle memory, Prime Day can feel like a sales event to sit out, as it's usually all about new tech and games. This year, Amazon’s taken a nostalgic turn, offering up retro-inspired PS5 deals that tick all the right buttons. Game remakes and revivals have become big draws in recent years, and my list below features of the best, and one I love but has its flaws (yes, it's Alone in the Dark).
