We have gathered the hands-down best nostalgic Android games for those of you who want to take a trip down memory lane.

1. Sonic the Hedgehog
If you are looking for the ultimate classic game for your nostalgic dreams, Sonic the Hedgehog from Sega is the app you should download immediately! It is a free-to-play game in which you can race at the lightning of speed of Sonic the Hedgehog. Discover the various styles of gameplay with all loop-de-loops you can imagine, collect rings and destroy your enemies while saving the world. There are a couple of Sonic variants, but for the ultimate retro feel we recommend Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Read our full review of the game to see if it piques your interest.

2. Crazy Taxi Classic
Another Sega-classic is Crazy Taxi, which is now also compatible with all Android devices! In this fantastic free-to-play game, race through traffic jammed streets as you pick up customers and drive them to their destinations. Originally an arcade game, this addictive and extremely fun game is now brought to life on your smartphone or tablet. And if it could not get any better, you can also rock out to music by The Offspring and Bad Religion. So plug in your headphones and turn up the volume because you are about to experience the real Crazy Taxi experience!

3. Pac-Man
If you are looking for an app with a little less background story, Pac-Man might be the right choice. Pac-Man celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2020 and is today considered an icon that changed gaming history forever. On the Android version, you go through various mazes to eat all the Pac-Dots disguised as Pac-Man himself. Expect a free trip down memory lane. You are allowed to relive the classic arcade game with a bunch of new features, tournaments and rewards!

4. Final Fantasy VI
Last but not least, the iconic sixth entry in the Final Fantasy series is available on Google Play as well! It is probably one of the best RPG-games ever made, with nostalgic graphics and memorable music that supplies the player with hours of fun play. As with other Final Fantasy titles, the player is introduced to the main story while he or she is immersed in the unique and fantastic fantasy-world. The only downside of the game is of course that it costs a few bucks. But trust us, it is worth the money!
