- Ff4, 6, and 7
- Chronotrigger
- Super Metroid
- Castlevania SOTN
- Zelda a Link to the past
- Tony hawk’s pro skater 1 and 2
- Any of the street fighter
- Pokemon
- Star craft + brood war
- Diablo 1 and 2
And so much more!
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!
I’m kinda surprised it took this long to see Pokémon mentioned.
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
Command and conquer, before Westwood was fucked over by EA
StarCraft
The StarCraft storyline and characters resonated so much with me as a kid.
Top 5
Doom and Doom II
Command and Conquer: Red Alert
Super Mario World
StarCraft with Brood War expansion
Duke 3D
Similar to mine, I’d add TIE Fighter and Warcraft II as well.
This is the perfect list for me. Command & conquer was a gem!
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.
The exact two that came to my mind!
that’s a big hi five, bro!
Hard to pick one but if I had to I’d go with Final Fantasy VII since it was the game that got me into RPGs, and I got some good memories of watching my brother play it when we were kids.
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.
Age of Empires 2
But only started playing it a few years back
Wololo
Spyro
Gonna throw Crash Bandicoot on this one as well
My favorite games as a child growing up in the 90s:
Zelda OoT
Super Mario 64
Pokemon Red
Zelda OoA/OoS
Though after later playing Final Fantasy 7 in 2003 that quickly captivated me and became really special to me. It was my first Final Fantasy I ever played and one of my most cherished games to this day.
Also, while I never played the original 90s game, I absolutely adored Black Mesa and the Half Life franchise. It was damn impressive what Valve accomplished with the original Half Life back then.
Dune 2,
Descent,
Transport Tycoon,
Starcontrol 2,
Starcraft,
Civilization,
Commander Keen,
Jill of the Jungle
Turrican 2
Day of Tentacle
Wing Commander
Might and Magic
Ufo
Dune 2 … such a great game! I was just playing a bit of OpenRA last night. Great to see your comments this morning!
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Goldeneye
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
That game is trippy af. One of the first games I ever played and completed. An absolute classic
One of my all-time favorite Zelda games!
Mine too!
Transport Tycoon
Doom
Goldeneye 64 (I bought a N64 console just for this game)
Frontier Elite
Baldur’s gate
Fallout 2
X : Beyond The Frontier
Goldeneye 64 (I bought a N64 console just for this game)
Also did this! Played it at a friend’s, fell in love, so 13 year old me got a job and worked til I could buy it. What a game.
Super Mario Bros 3 is a timeless game and is my favorite side scroller although Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country give it a run for its money
SMW is one of the greatest platformers of all time, but SMB3 was such a huge leap forward it’s hard to say
I’d say I enjoyed playing sm3 over world.
World was a little friendlier, especially with the extra power up and Yoshis. But it’s the kind of game I can’t go back and play anymore. I played it a ton back then and I’m satisfied with it to never want to play it again. But 3, I can’t get enough of.
This thread isn’t complete without mentioning how Super Mario Bros 3 was introduced to the world in the climax to the movie The Wizard.
Such a core memory of my childhood. Blew my tiny little mind.
I love the power glove, it’s so bad
It is, in fact, so bad. Alas, not in the 80s way.
It was unusably awesome
