Orb Farm
I love these kinds of sandbox games, Orb Farm was super nice to have it running directly in the browser for a little procrastination break. Although my favorite is probably The Powder Toy [0], I've been following this project for years.

SdLPoP control issues
SDLPoP is an open source port of the original Prince of Persia using the sdl library. Yes, I've also gathered that it's a standalone application that doesn't run through RetroArch. The documentation for the particular Retropie port of it is a bit sparse, but from what I've been able to gather apparently if one has control issues they should use that gamecontrollerdb.txt file and configure it correctly, but it's just that I couldn't get it to work. Whether I'm doing something wrong or there's something wrong with the port itself given the hardware, I don't know, that's why I'm asking for help here. For reference, here's some of the information I've already gone through : https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP

Prince of Persia - great cinematic platformer, and probably first game I ever played. My oldest gaming memory is main character dying on spikes.
There's a source port to run the game on modern systems: https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP

Prince of Persia JavaScript
This is great and I also enjoy https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP where my favourite feature is the ability to take a screenshot of the whole level... which usually fits well within my 4K display.
Oh, and playing at 3840x1200 means that every original 320x200 pixel is ... 144 pixels!
