What was your favorite 90's video game!

[TaeDollBABY]

I was completely crazy about Tekken and Sonic the Hedgehog....
Street Fighter &&&& Mortal Kombat (<--- all @ age 7(this is why i have issues)

 

[Kradek]

Descent and Descent II. Before the internet was popular, Compuserve was a big deal. There was a forum set up on Compuserve where we set up a ladder and competed against each other death match style on dial-up. Yes, over the phone. On 33k modems. That's k, not Mb.

It was fun as hell.

After that, probably Warcraft II/Starcraft. I had a serious love/hate relationship with UO. And of course, EQ came out towards the end of the decade.

And Baldur's Gate and it's brethren.

 

[TaeDollBABY]

Heard of Decent it was pretty nice... bt i wasn't too much into it

 

[emptiedglass]

Probably would have to be the original versions of Unreal and Unreal Tournament.

Tekken. Pretty much the beginning and end of my games career. I was fucking awesome at it though. Nina Williams WINS!!

 

[MadcapMatt]

So many good ones! To name a few though: Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Toejam & Earl, X-men, Earthworm Jim, and the Streets of Rage games were some of my favorite games to play as a kid.

[Annvious]

I was born in 90, the games I remember the most fondly are Donkey Kong Country, Super Metroid and Ocarina of Time.

 

[waogo]

How did I forget...
Wing Commander (all of em)
The reason I got my first sound card.

hahah yes! I bought old copies of wing commander iv and privateer 2 off ebay a couple years ago just to make sure I'd have them lol - I think in fact because they were the only 2 out of the series I didn't play to death but had very fond memories of them regardless. I still have a Prima Wing Commander guide, I've read that thing cover to cover

 

[Red7227]

Starcraft and Diablo. Blizzard were an awesome fucking company back then.

 

[Meoff_69]

*Cough* showing my age a bit.... Techmo Superbowl! I always used the Kansas City Chiefs.

 

[Shaun__]

Turtles in Time and Planscape: Torment were both good, but for different reasons.

​

 

[PunkInDrublic]

Chad Muska was the shit.

 

[DuoShi]

Chad Muska was the shit.

^ This times 9000

 

[VenPerv2]

ACF, Why u no Day of the Tentacle?

 

[Bombg]

My top picks are,

Link to the past
Ocarina of time
Final Fantasy 3 (or 6, depending on who you ask)
Chrono Trigger

All the other games listed are awesome as well, but these definitely had the most impact on me when I was younger.

 

[GreatDane]

Let's see here, in no particular order there was these few that took up most of my time on the PC at home when I had the time to play.
Doom
Doom II
MYST
Diablo
Diablo II (was actually released in 2000 but close enough)
Wing Commander

 

[Zyleth]

My favorite game of that decade is actually still my favorite game today. System Shock. It was poorly marketed, and they made some release mistakes (like having a floppy version at all), but it was so far ahead of its time.

Baldur's Gate is definitely in my eternal favorite games list as well, even bought another copy of it on Steam a while back just so I'd have a reliable way to play it if I feel like it.

I loved the Wing Commander series, and Privateer 2 has a special place for me, as a save game editor I wrote for it is the only thing I've ever sorta 'published'. (Was included on May 1998 PC Gamer CD.)

Woo...nostalgia.

 

[Gerien]

I'm a sad panda nobody mentioned Deus Ex :icon-cry:

 

[Nordling]

Starcraft.

 

[jeff98902]

I'm a sad panda nobody mentioned Deus Ex :icon-cry:

I still have Deus Ex Invisible war and play it about again once or twice a year. I was intrigued from the get go when I heard that the game begins in Seattle.
And the Dystopian future plot line.
I also liked the Illuminati and Knights Templar themes in the game. But the best part was player choice in both plot and game play and three distinct endings in the game depending how you interacted.:thumbleft:
