Can't decide between at least:

Homeworld

Frontier: Elite II

Warcraft II

Burden of the Crown

X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance

Homeworld and Half Life for me: both were just awesome. I spent a very long time in both.

It's between Final Fantasy Tactics and Suikoden II. I think it goes to the latter.

Mechwarrior 2. Controlling a heavy mech was 90s af.

And I can still hear the startup sequence in my head. Reactor online Sensors online Weapons online. All systems nominal.

Sonic Adventure.

If 1998 in Japan and 1999 everywhere else is too close to the '00s (and in the context of what SA1 meant for the Sonic franchise I wouldn't blame you,) Sonic CD.

Tekken 3. Late 90s but I spent HUNDREDS of hours playing it.

Sid Meier's Colonisation, my 10 year old laptop that I replaced last year only had enough power to play that game and I put so many hours into it when I didn't have access to my main pc. It's just a shame that my new laptop doesn't upscale dosbox the same way my old one did but I think that's just because of the differences between MacOS and Windows.

(Edit: wrote the wrong game series somehow)

[–] 6368_39162@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Rebel Assault

Simant

Happyweed

[–] paulallen@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] SteelBeard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] SeverianWolf@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.
