Bubble Bobble, Arcade, 1986
Resident Evil (1996)
Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar (C64)
I’m going to break the rules and just nominate every SNES RPG. FF4, FF6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Mario RPG, Lufia 2, and even more that weren’t released in America like Live A Live, Fire Emblem 4 and 5, Star Ocean, and Front Mission. Even listing that many, there are many more that I haven’t played that it would be totally fair to say, “How could you forget X?” Amazing era for that type of game, and I’m only partially saying that because of nostalgia.
Street fighter 2 - hyper fighting edition (arcade).
Played this every day after school for years as did a huge portion of my school.
UFO (or xcom) - enemy unknown.
Little Big Adventure 2
Death Rally, 1996 (PC)
Carmageddon 2 - PC
Stunts (a.k.a 4D Sports Driving) [1990] - PC, Amiga and others
I’ll propose Age of Empires 1. That one is my childhood pretty much 😄
Rollercoaster Tycoon
Jazz Jackrabbit 2
Need For Speed 3 - Hot Pursuit
Road Rash
For the Dutchies among us.
A2 Racer
Yogho Yogho
Heroes of Might and Magic 2
Rollcage
Anno 1602 is lovely too.
Unreal Tournament
Quake 2, PC
I liked quake 2, but 1 and 3 were better
I think Q2 had the best mods and TCs though
AQ2 was peak.
Wipeout 2097 (Wipeout XL), 1996
Diablo (1996?)
