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.
Sid Meier's Colonisation, my 10 year old laptop that I replaced last year only had enough power to play that game and I put so many hours into it when I didn't have access to my main pc. It's just a shame that my new laptop doesn't upscale dosbox the same way my old one did but I think that's just because of the differences between MacOS and Windows.
(Edit: wrote the wrong game series somehow)
Rebel Assault
Simant
Happyweed
Syndicate and Wing Commander Privateer
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?
Tekken 3. Late 90s but I spent HUNDREDS of hours playing it.
Canβt pick a favorite. But I will say the one I return to the most often is Super Metroid
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.
loved KOF 97, 98 back then. Bloody Roar 2 as well. That game was so much fun.
I liked the Marathon series for Mac and the Twisted Metal series for PS.
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
- Half-life
- the Doom games
- the Quake games
- Shogo
- POD
- Outlaws
- Soldier of Fortune (it was released in 2000 tho but it's almost the 90's lol)
There are so many... Here are some that I probably spent the most time with:
- Master of Orion
- XCom (the original)
- unreal tournament
- Elder Scrolls Daggerfall
- Falcon 3.0
- Mechwarrior 2
Seven kingdoms
Flashback. There's something cinematographic in that old Delphine gem.
Shattered Galaxy, it marketed itself as an mmorpgrts. The depth of gameplay was fantastic. While the graphics look a little dated, I would still play it if there was any server population left.
My top favorites, can't decide which one is the best:
- Dyna Blaster / Bomberman
- Commander Keen
- Skyroads
- Hero's Hearts
