Your favorite games from the 90's....

Let's take a trip down memory lane shall we....

For PC:

1. Half-Life:

The game that revolutionized first person shooter. One of the best titles to ever hit the PC. Had great gameplay, interactivity and looked pretty good using a modified Quake 2 engine.

2. Unreal:

Without a doubt this game was the Crysis of 1998. Had stunning visuals, the len's flare, fantastic lighting, not to mention the levels, just like Crysis were vast compared to other shooters on the market.

3. Duke Nukem 3D

Duke Nukem 3D is probably the most time I spent as a kid playing games in the 90's. It was SO Different from all the shooters out on the market at the time. Instead of being in dungeons or in an alien world, Duke Nukem 3D set you in a real-life world where aliens have invaded and it's up to Duke to kick their ass and chew bubble gum. Did I mention the babes, t*** and strippers in the game. :P This game was about as adult as you can get.

2011 will be a watershed moment in gaming history. The longest time a game has been in development for has finally been released. I finally got to play another Duke game after....what seems like an eternity. Hopefully the next game won't be in development for 14 long years.

And oh yeah...Hail to the King baby! :D

Quake 2:

One of the best shooters that ID Software has produced in my opinion. It was un-adulturated sex riding on your 3D accelerator (yes people called GPU or graphics cards "3D accelerators") back in the day. :P

3. The Need For Speed

Who would have thought this would be the begining of the biggest racing franchise in history.

4. One Must Fall 2097:

Played this game to death on my PC. You fight as robots! :)

5. Raptor Call of the Shadows:

One of the best over the top shooters from the 90's. Had great graphics and gameplay.

6. Warcraft 2:

Ors and humans. I remember the last level being hard. And "are you still touching me". :P

7. Mortal Kombat

The best fighting series IMO.

8. Tomb Raider

One of the best, if not the best 3rd person action adventure series in history. Video games finally had a prominent and hot feminine lead.

9. Thief

One of the best stealth action adventure game of all time. Wish they would make another Thief game.

10.Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit

Need For Speed brought a Hot Pursuit mode to the Need For Speed franchise, where you could play as cop and be chased by the cops.

Let's move on to the consoles shall we....

1. Super Mario 64:

One of my favorite games from when I was a kid on the N64.

2. Goldeneye

Best FPS for the N64 in my opinion. An instant ****c. You could play a re-make version of the game on Steam called Goldeneye Source. I play it from time to time. It's free BTW.

Sony Playstation:

1. Crash Bandicoot

Have fond memories of playing this on my childhood friend's Playstation.

2. Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee

Another great game. Wish they would made a re-make.

2. Need For Speed 2 PS

A great sequal to the original Need For Speed. If you had a PC you could played the Need For Speed 2 SE with a Voodoo graphics card.

Other notable mention:

1. Forsaken

A descent like game but the graphics were much better than Descent. It's easily the second best looking game of 1998 after Unreal. GS gave it a score of 8.9. I think this game went under-appreciated.

You could download the full game and run it in HD widescreen for free here:

I still remember the commercial they used to play with the slogan, "The Future is Forsake!" , "The Future is Forsake!".

Anyways, that's all I have that I could think off the top of my head.

So, what are some of your favorite games from the 90's? :)

2. Sin

This game went underappreciated mainly due to the hype surrounding Half-Life and initial bugs of the game (which was later fixed). Cast including the sexy Elexis Sinclaire.

3. Mortal Kombat 3

Played this game a lot on the PC. Don't know what the hell is Midway smoking by not bringing the latest Mortal Kombat on the PC.

4. Lion King

A game based on one of my favorite childhood movies, The Lion King!

5. Moto Racer:

This game had super fast speed one of the best acrade type of games to be realeased in 1998. Did I mention how fast it was.

6. Moto Racer 2:

A good sequal to the original Moto Racer.

Lastly I have to pay hommage to 3DFX, one of great pioneers to bring 3D graphics from the 90's. Before there was ATI and nVidia bringing state of the art graphics to the market it was 3DFX that played a leading role in the 90's. The great graphics we have today has it's roots from the great engineers and people who worked at 3DFX. I will never remember forget the first time I saw 3DFX graphics running on the arcade game San Franciso Rush powered by Voodoo graphics. It was quite stunning.

That's all I got for today.

So, what are your guys favorite games from the 90's.

N64-Mario 64, Mariokart 64, Diddy Kong 64, Goldeneye, Duke Nukem, Snowbaord kids, South Park, WinBack, Shadows of the empire, Blast Corps, Cruisin Usa, WCW/WWf games, Pilot Wings, Starfox, Perfect Dark

Ps1- Coolboarders, Tomb Raider, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Twisted Metal, Army Men, GTA

SNES- Battletoads, Mario, Super Double Dragon, TMNT4

These are the 1st ones that come to mind. I know im missing another 1000 games though.

System Wars is for the discussion of current-generation games only, not including those from the 1990s.mario-galaxys

Sneaking out from my bed time to watch my uncle play Ocarina of Time. The part where you had to sneak into the castle to find Zelda.

Watching my Brother and Dad play the original Dragon Warrior, and my dad always made maps of each dungeon by following the right hand rule and drawing the walls around him.

Playing Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 with my brother, I had Cobi's Journey, and He had Tara's adventure, we would always combine our monsters to get the best monster.

Going to Toys R Us. with my mom to get Super Smash Brothers, and having to grab those little price ticket things out of the game section and bringing it to someone so they could retrieve the actual phsyical game.

Borrowing my friends original Game Boy, with Pokemon blue, and he told me not to save it, but I did anyways, and I could get through the Veridian Forest, because I didn't know you could just walk into the darkness at the very end.

Then on Christmas I got the Gameboy Color (Green) along with pokemon Blue, the strategy guide, and a link cable. While my brother got the same but with pokemon red, and the purple Gameboy. We would play all day.

And finally on another Christmas when my brother and I both got GBA's but I got Megaman Battle Network, the only GBA game, and my brother got no game because he wasn't as good as me.

I doubt anyone cares, but it's nice to remember all these things, I really wish I could go back in time. I love my parents.

legacy platforms is this way

http://www.gamespot.com/forums/board/909184995/legacy-platforms?tag=platform-forums%3Btitle%3B10

Super Mario World, LoZ: A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooie, Final Fantasy VII, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Crash Bandicoot 1,2,3, Age of Empires II: Age of Kings, Super Bomberman 2, and Twisted Metal 2.

I'm sure there are more, but they just haven't come to mind yet. The 90s has some of my best gaming memories.

Half life

Fallout

planescape torment

super metroid

Goldeneye, Gran Turismo 2....and so many others. Good times.

The 90's? I take that to mean the whole decade not just the latter half when 3D acceleration was starting to be in full swing.

Doom

Steel Panthers (1 and 2):

1942: Pacific Air War

Crusader: No Remorse

Curse of Monkey Island

Close Combat (2): A Bridge Too Far

GLQuake

Quake 2

Dungeon Keeper 2

World War II Fighters

Closed out the decade with Combat Flight Simulator 2

Buddy there are tons of games that I liked from the 90's. In fact to me the 90's was the best era of gaming.

Hmm... that's a bit before my time. However, I've played and enjoyed Unreal Tournament (duh! :P ) and needless to say, I loved it. :)

wow too many to list :)

but back then was a huge Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat fan.. shooters like Doom, Quake & Unreal... sports games such as Sensible Soccer & FIFA.. was also a big fan for Point-&-click Adventure games on PC (Monkey Island, Discworld, Full Throttle etc etc)

Crash 1...ahh that brings back memories of monday night where we sat in and played it with a crate of beer, possilbly one of the best games ever for me :(

Sonic 2,MGS1,FFVII are other fantastic mentions aswell theres tons but i can only think of them off the top of my noggin.

Super Mario Bros. 3

Sonic 3 and Knuckles

Goldeneye 007

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Donkey Kong Country

Gauntlet: Legends

That's all I'm going to list there.

EDIT: Can't forget Star Fox 64

/thread.

:P

Not a bad list, but it was missing a LOT from the 90's, including the SNES games and stuff like all the Final Fantasy games and Resident Evil and MGS games.

I mostly skimmed it actually, but only 2 N64 games is very small. I think Star Fox 64 deserves a spot, same for The Legend of Zelda games that changed the world.

Anyways, I'd say my top favorite games from that era would be: Super Mario 64, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life in that order as my top 3.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Omgomgomg. I love that game. And Mario Party, Lylat Wars, Crash Bandicoot, Mario 64, Mario Karts 64, Metal Gear Solid, wow I really love 90s games :3

Edit: How on earth did I forget Ocarina of Time :O

Good choices TC you put a few i would of said.

Alot better than the garbage games around now.

Toe Jam and Earl

Sonic 1, 2, 3, Sonic & Knuckles

Streets of Rage

Super Mario Bros. 3

Goldeneye 007

HL1, UT99, Fallout 1, Fallout 2

TC your list sucks, you should have played more SNES when you were younger. How could you not have titles like chrono trigger , super metroid, super mario world and zelda on this list?????

Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Syphon Filter, Metal Gear Solid, Driver, Doom II: Hell On Earth, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Super Mario RPG, Super Adventure Island 2... and so on. I'm not one of those "older games are better than new games" kind of person, but a lot of games from that period are far more memorable, and meaningful experiences than what are coming out these days. Which seem more like "products" than "video games."foxhound_fox

The first and 2nd syphon Filter games were amazing. using the tazer until the person complete body was covered in flames will always be a classic for me
