    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.

    Any ones that stick in your mind? I'll tell you if i wrote that guide or not! :D

    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.

    The issue with the first part of abe's oddysee was the first issue i worked on! I was just a writer for about 3-4 issues, then dep. editor after that. Around the time of Resident Evil 2.

    Street Fighter 2
    Mario Kart Snes
    Chase HQ
    Tekken 2

    The best game for me in the 90's and the one that set the bar for all mmorpgs was Ultima Online. Groundbreaking and some elements have yet to be beaten by modern mmorpgs like World of Warcraft (crafting system for eg)

    For me the best game of the 90's was the original Team Fortress. Back when it was just a Quake 1 mod.
    This is before people started using hacks and whatnot which pretty much ruined online gaming for FPS's.

    I played that mod for 2 years in several leagues.

    If you'll allow me to count the year 2000, I would say Diablo2.

    EDIT: But in hindsight, letting me count the year 2000 would be really stupid, so my post is actually dumb.
