Lords of Magic: Special Edition. 6 year old me sucked at it, cause I had never played a strategy/RTS game before and had no idea how to play it. A lot of fond memories of reading the 100 page booklet that came with it, and the triumph of figuring out how to play a game that felt like it was for adults.
Just loved how your soldiers grew with the missions they survived, growing in military grade but also in firearms ability. Losing a man after a few missions was a real lost
Yes! Interstate 76 is reason I purchased my first 3D graphics card and begged my parents to switch from AOL to a “real” ISP because the online play didn’t work over AOL’s connection.
I loved building cities and then flying around in them. The fact that you could fly to the military base and then use the apache and launch missiles was great. One time I did that and launched a missile at my nuclear power plant. Suddenly my screen went completely white. I thought, "What the heck? Did the game just crash?" And then details slowly started coming back and I realised that my chopper was spiraling out of the sky and my city was a wasteland of wreckage and fire. I nuked my city. Good times.
MDK, one of the best game I've ever played. Incredible art direction, amazing soundtrack, top notch gameplay, funny, and a very special general atmosphere.
Exile I II and III Exile 3 was the one I played most of... Exile is the most impossible game ever you literally starve to death cause you start out with no food no items nothing lol gotta use cheats
Spiderweb software is the developer, you should check them out! They’ve remade the Exile series’s under the name Avadon, and have other classic-style games such as Geneforge which I highly recommend playing.
I swear I remember a mission in that game where you end up on a real-world bathtub chasing a Blue. No one who played it with me as a kid remembers that, and I found an emulator that also doesn't have that mission. I feel so weird...
I have been thinking about this for ages - is this the one that is Myst-esque and you are chasing,iirc, a robot to stop something? I had a demo of it and it was super cool but never bought it.
Every time I see someone post this thread I come looking for someone to mention Mischief Makers or Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. This is the first time I've seen anyone mention either of them.
The coop in the first one was awesome. There was one level where one of you started in a jail cell and had to wait for the other player to come break you out.
Windows 95’s Road Rash was something special. The only other game I ever saw that was truly like that was Burnout 3 Takedown on Ps2. Most fun arcade racing games ever. It’s surprising that they haven’t been brought back with online multiplayer available for new consoles. It’s pretty obvious that they would sell, even if it is the original game and not a better remake.
Aw man. That game was brutal, but in a good way. Just shooting limbs off of people was so damn cool back in the day. Or shooting them in the stomach. shudders
Remember in the mid 90s my brothers and I used to crowd around the PC playing this, each taking our turn until we coukd afford a nuke. So many good rounds.

Rise of the Triad

Interstate 76. Really miss that game.
Yes! Interstate 76 is reason I purchased my first 3D graphics card and begged my parents to switch from AOL to a “real” ISP because the online play didn’t work over AOL’s connection.
Jill of the Jungle. Probably the one that I enjoyed the most (Along with Jazz Jackrabbit) that people go, "Huh?" when I mention it.
So nice to find some fellow Jackrabbit players! Both were great.
Jill of the jungle, hocus pocus, OMF, crystal caves, secret agent, cosmo cosmic adventure... All those games are my childhood
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was dope
Sim copter
The fact that you could fly around your Sim City 2000 cities was AMAZING.
Flying around dumping water on fires was awesome

"Get moving you, stupid idiots!" Oh, did you know that the first run of this game had to be recalled?
Delta force
Yes!
I used to play Black Halk Down as a kid repeating the same missions for hours
I remember playing the delta force demo like 100 times it was so good
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Still one of the best flying games. And it’s on game pass now!
Alley Cat.
never met anyone outside my family that even heard of alley cat. still get the theme music stuck in my head occasionally.
Syndicate
There it is. I loved this game as a kid and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. The premise was so cool.
MDK, one of the best game I've ever played. Incredible art direction, amazing soundtrack, top notch gameplay, funny, and a very special general atmosphere.

Mutant league hockey.
I liked hockey better than mutant league football.
James Pond.
Archon
Phenomenal game. Somehow this formula of chess mashed up with arcade action just felt perfect. Shapeshifter was the OG.
Army Men: Sarges Heros on N64. Was the game of my childhood but none of my friends seem to have even heard of it !
I loved Army Men 3d on the PS1 as a kid.
This one was a staple for us at sleepovers
I swear I remember a mission in that game where you end up on a real-world bathtub chasing a Blue. No one who played it with me as a kid remembers that, and I found an emulator that also doesn't have that mission. I feel so weird...
Midtown Madness
Scrolled way too far for this!
Zoombinis
Freedom Fighters
The Journeyman Project. It was an amazing trilogy in the 90’s. Would be awesome if they remade it.
Came with my Packard Bell computer as well spiderman cartoon maker
I only played 3 but man did I love that game! I keep a windows 95 machine alive so I can play it from time to time
I have been thinking about this for ages - is this the one that is Myst-esque and you are chasing,iirc, a robot to stop something? I had a demo of it and it was super cool but never bought it.
Desert Strike: Return to the gulf
The Strike games were so good, they were basically their own genre. Kinda weird how there were 5 big games and hardly anybody talks about it now.
Sim Ant.
I was looking for this one! Yes! The grid yard, watch out for lawn mowers! And the subterranean 2d nest
Jet Moto
Always went with a Dew racer.
JET MOTO WAS THE SHIIIIT! My dad bought the first one and bought 2 and 3 when they came out, what a niche but well executed series.
North and South.
Rise of the dragon
Future Cop: LAPD

Then you looked away and everything seemed to be moving down!
There was a 7-Up game for the SNES
Cool Spot
Mister Mosquito!!! I’m sure NO ONES heard of it.
Zone of enders. Which is odd because I see people mention that the game is good, but I never seen any actual discussion about the game before
Defender of the Crown
Heart of darkness
The one with the kid trying to find his dog? He had a ray gun and eventually magic? He died in really brutal ways.
Oh I remember getting so damn angry at this game.
Dune 1992 strategy game. The spice must flow.
This game singlehandedly showed me who I am and what my interests are. It was the launchpad for my love of Scifi, space, and reading
Conflict Desert Storm II: Back to Baghdad
Conflict Desert Storm was so fucking hard as a kid but rewarding as all hell just inching through the campaign
The coop in the first one was awesome. There was one level where one of you started in a jail cell and had to wait for the other player to come break you out.
Pool of Radiance.
Tenchu
Stealth assassin! Loved these. Still have nightmares of the fucker with the blade shoes.

Best Sega game
Crystalis
I still contend that this was the best RPG released for NES
Crystalis was damn awesome. Actually still is despite its age.
Syphon Filter
That tazer was brutal.
Road Rash. I really wish someone with even half a brain at EA would remember that franchise and bring it back.
Windows 95’s Road Rash was something special. The only other game I ever saw that was truly like that was Burnout 3 Takedown on Ps2. Most fun arcade racing games ever.

Played the shit out of soldier of fortune 2: double helix
Cyberia
