I approve of number 6

Shocking people in the balls until they caught fire.
Ahh, good old juvenile me and S.F.
XD

Also:
I'd probably drop 'Knuckles' and replace it with E.V.O.: Search for Eden.
SUCH an underrated game.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Weak list. 'The 90s' is a pretty big field. Should've gone with "The 90s: 8 SNES games", or "The 90s: 8 horror games", or something like that.

 

[DarklordKyo]

I find the lack of Mischief Makers and Gunstar Heroes disturbing.

 

[Slegiar Dryke]

hollly hell, I'll wholeheartedly agree about parasite eve. amazingly fun game once you get into the story. the sequels weren't that bad, 2 being more resident evil-ish and 3rd birthday being a complete divergance from the series ^^;; soo...okay maybe they are a bit that bad XD but still. the original, can't be beat for awesome ^^

The only one of those I've played is Vectorman. It was on one of the Sonic Mega Collections I think.

The only game on that list I've played is Parasite Eve - which is an incredible RPG.

I always wanted to play Knuckles Chaotix but I could never find a copy. Ah well.

 

[Nazulu]

Haven't heard of half of these, and I loved the 90s library. Those were the days where just hearing the music made me want try them out. Though I wouldn't pick Knuckles Choatix since it becomes very repetitive very quick.

 

[LostCrusader]

Wow, I haven't even heard of a single game on this list.

 

[Chaos James]

I'm a little sad to see the lack of the Illusion of Gaia on the list, but such a small list for a wide range of games I guess I can understand. Plus it's pseudo-sequel, Terranigma, was on the list instead, so I guess I can give it a break.

But yah, Terranigma AND Actraiser on one list is pretty impressive. Glad to see some less-then-known classic SNES titles on a list somewhere.

 

[ElMinotoro]

I bet the dude who had the 32x is feeling pretty nostalgic right about now.

 

[Razorback0z]

Its weird to think there are people who play StarCraft 2 who havnt played or even heard of Dune 2. I guess that's what happens when your an old fart... It was nice to be part of the start of it all but I do prefer the graphics and games of today. Looking back its amazing how much detail your brained filled in, little pixels that were highly detailed, but only in your imagination lol.

 

[Kinitawowi]

Comparing Dune 2 - the title that invented the RTS as we know it - to Civ might be the single most ignorant thing I've ever seen on this website.

 

[Shymer]

Well - as I had an Amiga 500, my list would look something like:

Lemmings
Cannon Fodder
UFO: Enemy Unknown
Secret of Monkey Island
Dune/Dune II
Civilization
Frontier: Elite II
Eye of the Beholder/Eye of the Beholder II

 

[Fasckira]

Dune 2 was alright I guess, I remember loving the multiple endings concept though I never managed to get the "true" ending. The less said about the rest the better tbh.

I think my list would have gone (in no order of favouritism):

1. Suikoden
2. Dungeon Keeper
3. Sanitarium
4. Colonization
5. Baldurs Gate
6. Discworld
7. Monkey Island
8. Half Life

 

[TheArcaneThinker]

No Planescape Torment ? Its from 1999 . Still not here.... Very disappointing.

 

[Nuxxy]

Star Control 2? Heroes of Might and Magic 2? Both have modern remakes you can play, even on Windows 8 (Free Heroes 2 runs on Android too!)

[Jhereg42]

I got the feeling they were going for games that had a more limited circulation. People always talk about Torment and the like. I very rarely see somebody mention Actraiser. It's not a bad list of good games that do not get a lot of conversations.

More Sega games. You can never get enough of old Sega classics, from the times when the company had a goddamn brain.
