Red Alert 2.
I’ve gone four hours without mentioning it
The face even looks like a Deus Ex NPC.
I still remember playing the Colin McRae rally demo on PS1 for the first time in 1998 or 1999 and seeing the Impreza WRX get mud splatters on it’s sides in real time while drifting through the Scottish highlands. There have been few if any as awe inspiring gaming moments since, maybe the original Gran Turismo replay graphics.
Morrowind.
Star Control 2
I am not sure about the budget portion for GameFreak during the release of Pokemon Colosseum as Nintendo was reworking the pay structure and their work with GameFreak around that time.
Colesseum though, I just played it for the first time ever and my god it is hardest and most tedious of the entire series and the music is killer. The underlying narrative and lore is interesting when you start adding XD Gale or Darkness into the mix as well.
ah yes, the touhou games I still haven’t completed a single one without retries
Created by one person, he made everything in the game including game engine.
Crazy Taxi
Baulders Gate
Goldeneye
Secret of Mana would fit everything but the graphics. Those graphics were fire when they came out.
Dev’s
I never really had sounds in the 90s. Always caused my mom to get headaches. All video games were played on low or no volume.
You poor bastard.
I started playing Day of the Tentacle without voices because I couldn’t figure out the sound configuration.
Prince of Persia.
Jordan Mechner is one of the greatest.
Video games changed so much during the 90s. I feel like this describes a single year.
Soundtracks have always been fire though. I still have the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack, Red Alert soundtrack, Sim City 3000, etc in my playlist.
Spin the roulette wheel of all Sonic games.
The snowboarding level, and the carnival stage.
Lol which one, there’s like a dozen of each of those themes!
That’s the best thing about them!
In the 1990s the only Sonic level with snowboarding was Ice Cap zone.
And Robotnik Winter Zone in Triple Trouble, and Ice Cap from Sonic Adventure, City Escape from SA2, and White Acropolis in Sonic 06, and the entirety of the Sonic Riders games.
This has been Gothic for me, although it missed the 90’s mark by just a bit
