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.

Technically 2000, but Sacrifice. It's still one of the most unique games I've ever played, and is my top wish for a remake/remaster.

It's a hybrid action RPG and RTS, which isn't completely unheard of, but even in its niche genre it's unlike anything else. You play a wizard with a range of both spells and summonable units, which can be ordered around to a limited degree, or more commonly used as a personal escort. Both the units and your own spells are very creative, and the higher level ones can be ridiculously powerful. In a glorious early celebration of terrain deformation, many of the high level spells will create volcanoes, mountains, craters, or even gaping voids in the already surreal landscapes. The story mode is also very weird and funny, with some top level voice actors.

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. Super Mario 64 was my first "3D" so to speak, but OoT took that to the next level. The feeling of wonder when I first left the Lost Woods and came out into the field will never be topped.

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

I've always been a Nintendo fan, and their first- and second-party catalog from the 90s is phenomenal:

  • Zelda OoT / MM
  • Goldeneye / Perfect Dark
  • Super Mario Bros 64
  • Mario Parties
  • Banjo Kazooie / Tooie
  • Pokémon Red / Blue / Yellow
  • Pokémon Stadium

Outside of Nintendo, the standout titles for me are:

  • Crash Bandicoot
  • Spyro
  • Metal Gear Solid
  • FF VII & VIII

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

Baldur’s Gate. That game blew me away.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

So many amazing games to choose from such as all the D&D based ones, Morrowind, the SimCity ones and the Championship Manager games, but my absolute favorite was Fallout 2 for sure!

[–] eudoxus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Syndicate and Wing Commander Privateer

[–] FlashZordon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] SeverianWolf@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.

[–] SteelBeard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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

[–] Flowgang@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] 6368_39162@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Rebel Assault

Simant

Happyweed

[–] paulallen@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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