Hey everyone! I’m seeking some advice on the best ways to dive back into classic PC games like Command and Conquer and similar titles from my childhood. Plus, I’d love to play PS2 and Xbox 360 games as well. Do you think a Steam Deck would be a good option for this? If not, what alternatives would you recommend? I really appreciate any tips or guidance since I feel a bit lost with all the new gaming developments. Thanks!

Also, keep an eye out for remastered versions of games like Command and Conquer on Steam. They might play a bit easier on a handheld, but the Steam Deck allows you to connect a mouse and keyboard if you prefer that setup! EmuDeck is also a great way to access older games, just make sure you can find the necessary BIOS files and ROMs to get things running smoothly. Retro Game Corps on YouTube is a great resource for this!
While the Steam Deck can handle PS2 games easily, you might want to consider something like the Rog Ally Z1E if you’re looking to play Xbox 360 or PS3 titles. Just a thought!
The Steam Deck should work fine. The trackpads can simulate a mouse for your PC games, which is super handy! For console games, EmuDeck is a must – it’s easy to set up and great for emulating older consoles.
You can definitely play PS2 games on the Steam Deck without any issues. For Xbox 360, it’s trickier; you can try Game Pass or check if the PC versions are available. I’d recommend making a list of the PC games you want first and checking ProtonDB to see how well they run on the Deck.
Absolutely! The Steam Deck is fantastic for what you’re looking for, especially if you check out EmuDeck for emulation. You can play a ton of older games from various generations on it!
