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

Baldurβs Gate. That game blew me away.
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.
Canβt pick a favorite. But I will say the one I return to the most often is Super Metroid
Syndicate and Wing Commander Privateer
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
- 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)
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.
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
Rogue Squadron!
The Secret of Monkey Island Super Metroid Yoshi's Island
I liked the Marathon series for Mac and the Twisted Metal series for PS.
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
The 90s were peak gaming for me - a lot a creative things were going on, new genres being explored. And we were spoilt for choice with all the blatant piracy.
But if I had to choose one game that really blew me away, that would be Thief.
My top favorites, can't decide which one is the best:
- Dyna Blaster / Bomberman
- Commander Keen
- Skyroads
- Hero's Hearts
backyard baseball
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.
Subspace - Meet people from all over the world, and then kill them.
One of the first online multiplayer games. It has a very long skill curve, and a ton of variety in game types.
It's still alive in Steam as Continuum!
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)
The Shining Force series
Can't decide between at least:
Homeworld
Frontier: Elite II
Warcraft II
Burden of the Crown
X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance
Rebel Assault
Simant
Happyweed
Ape Escape!
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.
Zoo Tycoon and Everquest!
I tried Project 1999 for Everquest, but the change in culture from 1999 to now is just...a lot. I'd enjoy it again if I could get my friends to play, but I think it'll be too old school for everyone.
Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri - it was the Crysis of its time, in that whatever computer you had, you needed a better one to be able to play it.
Also, we all decided that the atrocious acting in the FMVs was deliberate, so that's okay.
