    So unfortunately I didn’t play video games until about 2001 when I turned 5 and got an N64 for my first Christmas in the USA. The game itself is from 2000 though.

    Mickey’s Speedway USA for the N64.

    Goddamn I loved that game. I have so many fun memories with it.

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

    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.

    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

      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 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.

      I’ve bought SOTN for 4 different systems/platforms now. Double Crissaegrim and double Rings of Varda ftw.

        I used to play it that way to. OP. To the max. It was more fun to try the other weapons and items to be honest. The game has tonnes of unique gear!

    1. Quake
    2. Thief
    3. Metal Gear Solid
    4. Half Life
    5. System Shock 2

    Honourable mention to Final Fantasy 7, and Zelda Ocarina of Time. They might have been great when released, but I don’t think they’ve aged well.
