A lot of pre-1990 games are pretty clunky, so you kinda have to see them either as someone from the era would or try to appreciate them for what they are today. That being said, a lot of them are still fun with this in mind.
The Gauntlet series is probably my favorite early game. It's better played with 2-4 people, but can be played alone. It's essentially a dungeon crawler, but the levels and enemies are interesting and fun to navigate.
Some other good ones are Dig Dug (pacman but more fun and underground), Galaga or Galaxian (arcade space shooters), Adventure for the Atari 2600 (first rpg and first easter egg in video game history), Rampage (be a giant monster and destroy buildings), 1943 (airplane shmup (shoot em up) with cool powerups and pixel art) and toobin (also a shmup where you're on an inertube and navigate perilous waters. Sounds boring but it has really cool level progression and game mechanics later in the game).
Looks delicious! There are a couple of techniques to get good pics of food; here are a couple I can think of off the top of my head:
Take the picture in an area void of distractions like an empty tableCenter the item of interest in the middle of the plate and make sure it's clean of crumbs or fingerprintsUse garnish to make colors pop (e.g. like green chives on white mashed potatoes)Take the pic in good lighting, sunlight from a window is bestGet close enough to the food to fill the whole frame, leaving a little space on the edges . Get even closer to get good food textures
