Ape Escape!
Too tough to name one I can only narrow it to three
Xcom UFO Defense
Chrono Trigger
Super Street Fighter 2
Was looking for Street Fighter II on here. That game set me back DM150 and it was worth every bit of it. Possibly surpassed by Virtua Fighter II eventually,
I remember beating Final Fantasy VII and just staring at my TV in shock. Like, mouth hanging open, mind blown.
What’s crazy is for the life of me, I can’t even remember the basic gist of the ending of the game today. I just remember how it made me feel.
Earthbound and Chronotrigger are the two games with the most memories for me.
U. N. Squadron and Super Punch-out! We’re the two I played through the most - just over and over again. So much fun.
It’s pretty hard to pick one but I do have favorites among different categories.
Solo RPG - Chrono Trigger
MMORPG - Ultima Online
FPS - Quake
RTS - C&C: Tiberian Sun
Solid choices all!
For me… Monster Truck Madness, both 1 and 2
I loved Monster Truck Madness 2, I loved those crazy Monster Truck, the Monster Patrol and the Sting monster trucks were my favorites.
Donkey Kong Country 2
TOCA Touring Car Championship
Gran Turismo
Syphon Filter
So many to pick… But I will choose only a few…
Age of Empires 2
Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Civilization
Doom 2
Earthbound
and of course motherfucking Half-Life
Legendary ending and silly humor throughout made this my goat game. Super Mario World and Super Metroid tie for second.
that’s a big hi five, bro!
Definitely Half-Life.
Sanitarium.
Can’t pick a favorite. But I will say the one I return to the most often is Super Metroid
- Ultima series, especially Ultima VII and Ultima Underworld I & II
- Myst series
- Hexen
- Doom
- Quake
- Duke Nukem
- Postal and Postal II
- Diablo and Diablo II
- SimCity and Simcity 2000/SCURK
- Civilization series (still play!)
Spyro
I replayed Spyro recently, and honestly, I felt like it didn’t hold up. It felt like the objective was to get all of the gems, but there was no reward for getting gems. And maybe because it was a kids game, I just felt like it was way too easy. You could basically just walk to the end of each level, skip any gems and dragons that weren’t in the main path to the exit of the level, and finish the game in a couple of hours. I also felt like the level design was kind of wonky. Like, there were paths where you would follow to a dead end just to get gems, and there was nothing else there. That’s fine if that happens a couple of times in the game, but it was like this like 4 or 5 time per level.
Spyro 2 was a huge improvement to this formula, because you use the gems to buy upgrades and unlock new paths, or pay the dude to let you use the elevator and such. It made getting gems - and therefore the rest of the game - feel a lot less pointless.
Gonna throw Crash Bandicoot on this one as well
