I miss having enough time to play more games… Thanks for the nostalgia trip though OP.
Alley Cat, Dukem Nukem 3D, Ultima (4, 5, and 7), Daytona, Day of the Tentacle, Zack McCracken…
I mentioned this in another comment as well… but…
Ultima IV is free on GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/ultima_4
Also have you seen MoonRing? It’s a very recently released game, very Ultima inspired game from one of the original devs on Fable.

As if I wasn’t making myself feel old enough man you had to mention Ultima…
How did I forget about Alley Cat?
Fuckin Golden Sun was super legit. I even loaded up an emulator and replayed just a few years ago. It holds up perfectly well.
If you’d be interested in a kind of spiritual successor, try CrossCode. Not exactly the same, the combat is very different, but the general exploration reminds me of Golden Sun a lot.
All hail Retroarch, All hail mobile emulation!
We need more Golden Sun in the world today
