Not a childhood game, but the Japan-only SNES strategy RPG Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War is a great handheld emulator game! There’s English patches for it.
Some random games from the mid 90s and earlier that I enjoyed when I was younger:
PS1: Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 9, Lego Racing
SNES: Final Fantasy 4, Super Mario World
GBA (not of this era, but they’ll probably run on your Anbernic): Fire Emblem (any of the GBA games, but Blazing Blade aka just Fire Emblem is a great starting point), Metroid Fusion
GBC: Link’s Awakening DX
Edit: GB: Donkey Kong 94
… Whatever.
