C'mon all you old peeps! Let's get nostalgic!

What were your favourite games of the 90s? Games that really show the modern boomfests of today a thing or two about gameplay and actual fun!


Speedball II
Nuclear Strike
SWOS
Populous II
Monkey Island II


And having played and finished all of these recently via emulators, i can safely say it's not a case of rose-tinted specs!

What are yours?

    Kings Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow, I remember we got it when I was in 5th grade and I couldn't get past a certain part so I called some nerdy guy in my class and he helped me get past it. Also my favorite gameboy game of all time is Legends of Zelda: Links Awakening...I've had it since 1993 when I got my very first (and only) gameboy, that I still own! I still play both of these games.

    Oh man, the 90's were a great decade. I'll list a few that have got to be up there:

    Final Fantasy IV
    Final Fantasy IX
    Secret of Monkey Island
    Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped
    Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus
    Pokemon Red/Blue.
    SimCity 2000
    Metal Gear Solid
    Super Mario 64
    Zelda Ocarina of Time.
    Broken Sword.
    Transport Tycoon

    OK, I'm going to stop now. I could go on. I was originally going to list 4 or 5, but then I kept thinking about it more and more and listed far too many. I'm too indecisive when it comes to picking best games, I end up listing a million of them and am never able to narrow it down.

    Late 90s i was the Editor of a PlayStation magazine, PlayStation Solutions, as well as a contributor to Total 64. Those were the days! Actually looking forward to going to work on a Monday morning! :D

    Wow, I used to read PlayStation Solutions religiously. It was weird, I was a kid with no money and I rarely had the games they did guides and tips for, but I really enjoyed reading the guides and things anyway. I'm pretty sure I still have a huge stack of the magazines stored somewhere. What a weird coincidence.

    Ah, Monkey Island! I loved those games!

    Hmm.....I'm going to have to say Baldurs Gate...the first one...was a groundbreaking RPG.

    Then I'm going to have to say the Final Fantasy games that came out in the 90's. I agree with GoldenEye, that was fantastic. Chrono Trigger was also on my top list.

    I don't think Tecmo Bowl came out in the 90's so I'll not say that LOL

    I dont care what anyone says, golden eye made screen cheating.

    Also I feel ashamed for not mentioning pokemon. Best portable console game ever. Why they never took the exact gameboy game, and just made it so the battles were all in 3d on the wii, ill never know

    I'm not sure. I was only like 8 or 9 years old at the time. I seem to remember there being a guide for Sentient (a weird first person adventure game set on a space station) that I enjoyed reading, I had played the demo of the game and really wanted to get the full game, but never did. I also think I liked a guide for Little Big Adventure (another game I wanted but never got). And I'm sure I used the guides to the Oddworld games, since I actually owned those games.
