Age of Empires 2

Transport Tycoon

Doom

Goldeneye 64 (I bought a N64 console just for this game)

Frontier Elite

Baldur's gate

Fallout 2

X : Beyond The Frontier

I played so much X-Com, Civ 2, and Final Fantasy Tactics back in the day.

Difficult to pick a single fave. Here are the games I've spent most of my time playing back then.

On PC:

• X-Wing series (X-Wing, TIE Fighter, etc.)
• Star Control 2
• Earthsiege 1 and 2
• Starsiege: Tribes
• Team Fortress mod for Quake
• EverQuest

On arcade, mostly fighting games, and some side-scrollers:

• Mortal Kombat 1, 2, 3, 4
• Killer Instinct 1 and 2
• Virtua Fighter 1 and 2
• Marvel Vs. Street Fighter
• TMNT
• X-Men: Children of the Atom

Want to go back to the 80s? Lode Runner, Rescue on Fractalus! and Karateka. Also Gyruss introduced me to modern remixes of classical music.

Now you're asking a question I can answer. FFVII or Pokemon. That's all I ever played. Thank you for your time.

Brave Fencer Musashi! It's a fun RPG from squaresoft. Very much a hidden gem. The music in it was streets ahead.

Sam n Max Hit the Road and King's Quest 5, 6, and 7. <3

Master of Orion.

Ultima Underworld.

Shadowgate.

Goldeneye.

Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9.

Golgo 13.

Wing Commander 3.

Lands of Lore.

SimTown.

Yo Noid

RCT 3

After Dark ;P

Also Catz.

For me it is probably a tie between Sid Meier's Civilization and Doom. Both were groundbreaking in their genres and they had immense influence on the type of games I since became interested in playing.

The entire list of releases from the year 1998, the objectively best year in all of video gaming history.

Top is hard. Probably OOT.

Top five would be OOT, Doom, Sonic 2, crash bandicoot, and half-life.

Way too many good ones to pick from haha.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles

The Shining Force series

Banjo-Kazooie

Metal Gear Solid

Monkey Island 2 (The first one is arguably better, but 2 was my introduction to the series, so I have a bit of a soft spot for it)

Definitely a tie right now between Sonic 1 or 2, which I managed to get copies of for Genesis 3 years ago when I first got a Genesis.

Donkey Kong Country 2

Road rash

Shining force

Redneck rampage

Bottom of the 9th 99

For me... Monster Truck Madness, both 1 and 2

Sim City 2000

Command and Conquer

Red Alert

Goldeneye

Mario Kart

NBA Hang time

Perfect Dark

MDK

Too tough to name one I can only narrow it to three

Xcom UFO Defense

Chrono Trigger

Super Street Fighter 2

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force.

I got it working on Linux just so I could play it on steam deck. Side bonus! It's so old integrated graphics can more than handle it at modern resolutions. I put that game on every laptop I own.

Old business machines are great for that purpose, snag one on recycle day, install Nobara, install Elite Force.

One day I'm going to have a dedicated LAN match room exclusively for this game.

The Secret of Monkey Island

still play it nowadays from time to time

Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven

Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor

Heroes of Might and Magic III

Rogue Squadron!

It's between Final Fantasy Tactics and Suikoden II. I think it goes to the latter.

• STAR CONTROL 2
• Another World
• Action Quake 2
• Street fighter 2

Baldur’s Gate. That game blew me away.

Technically 2000, but Sacrifice. It's still one of the most unique games I've ever played, and is my top wish for a remake/remaster.

It's a hybrid action RPG and RTS, which isn't completely unheard of, but even in its niche genre it's unlike anything else. You play a wizard with a range of both spells and summonable units, which can be ordered around to a limited degree, or more commonly used as a personal escort. Both the units and your own spells are very creative, and the higher level ones can be ridiculously powerful. In a glorious early celebration of terrain deformation, many of the high level spells will create volcanoes, mountains, craters, or even gaping voids in the already surreal landscapes. The story mode is also very weird and funny, with some top level voice actors.

Super Mario Kart and NHL '94

backyard baseball

The ones I played the most were:

• Heroes of Might & Magic

• Civilization

• Genghis Khan ][: Clan of the White Wolf

• ZZT

• Final Fantasy 6

not in order, mind
