Recently purchased a Retroid Pocket 3+ and have the chance to play all the games I didn’t grow up with. Which ones are a must?

Super Metroid and Chrono Trigger are the first two I think of personally. Just historically great games with legacies that are still felt today.

+1 for Chrono Trigger. It's really good.

For Metroid, I would add that Metroid: Zero Mission (remake of the 1st game) and Metroid: Fusion are excellent titles. Both are GBA titles.

This comment proves there is such a thing as the perfect answer.

Are there still wars being fought over which version of Chrono Trigger is best to play? I've always heard mixed opinions about the steam release but that one seems easiest to setup and play.

Those kinda died out as Square kept patching the PC port (last one I heard of was last year!) to get it to an acceptable state.

Personally, I always try to go for the closest possible version to the original as much as I can. While the PC port is probably the most feature-rich and has extra content, if emulators are in the equation then I go that route.
