These could be games that left a lasting impression on you, games that had stellar gameplay mechanics, characters that captivated you, games that you played tons of hours on, etc.

  • Battlefront & battlefront 2 first and foremost for sure. Classic battles for socializing, space battles for crash fun, single player galactic conquest

  • Battle for Middle Earth 2. Big improvement over 1 and you could play as anyone, although Men was outrageously overpowered

  • Unreal Tournament 1999

  • Starcraft: Broodwar. We were shitty turtle players, but so much fun

  • Warcraft 3 (mostly dota, twilight's eve, and TD)

  • CS 1.6 and CS:S

  • Mario kart double dash

  • super smash Bros melee

  • Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones

  • Pokemon Emerald

They don't make games like that anymore, but then again, it is definitely 75% nostalgia and the good times with friends that I had during those years instead of the actual games.

Now we are stuck playing CS2 online getting rolled by kids on shitty comp servers with 100+ ping 1 day per month or so because there is a 7 hour time difference now. Because online games without sweaty, toxic communities are pretty far in between. Miss the days when video games were fun lol

UT 99 was the best. So much fun with Pulse Rifle combos! CS beta 8 was the end of a era.
