Super Mario Kart and NHL '94

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

Homeworld and Half Life for me: both were just awesome. I spent a very long time in both.

I don't really know what to pick so I'm going to go with something kind of obscure, "The Adventures of Bouapha: Spooky Castle". The gameplay is a little hard to explain but it kind of plays like Zelda but you can pickup upgrades for your main weapon that allows it to be thrown in many directions and it has sub-weapons that can either be found or dropped by enemies and they have limited ammo.

I actually forgot this game existed until itch recommended me "Hamsandwich", which is a free and open-source collection of updated versions of a bunch of old Hamumu Software games. There are mods available for specific games and it's available for Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android and any other OS/device that can play the online version.

I liked the Marathon series for Mac and the Twisted Metal series for PS.

It's impossible to pick just one (even when talking specific genres)

But when it comes to fighting games, Marvel vs. Capcom and KOF '97 where among the best.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

loved KOF 97, 98 back then. Bloody Roar 2 as well. That game was so much fun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There were a lot of games released in the 90s. It would take 2-3 per genre to start getting close.

Picking just one single game... I guess I'll go with Fallout 2

Can’t pick a favorite. But I will say the one I return to the most often is Super Metroid

Tekken 3. Late 90s but I spent HUNDREDS of hours playing it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think I can choose between games like Alpha Centauri, Marathon, Chrono Trigger, Homeworld, Quake, Counter-Strike (I played the beta in '99, does that count?), not to mention King of Fighters '98, Half-Life, Star Craft... wow it really was the golden era of gaming wasn't it?

Flashback. There's something cinematographic in that old Delphine gem.

Sonic Adventure.

If 1998 in Japan and 1999 everywhere else is too close to the '00s (and in the context of what SA1 meant for the Sonic franchise I wouldn't blame you,) Sonic CD.
