      Bloody hell, I didn’t realize it’s that old. I played it in high school, feels like yesterday.

        Play Black Mesa, you deserve it. Not only it’s Half-Life like you’ve never seen it, but there’s also a completed Xen campaign.

          I did, it’s amazing. Also just replayed HL2 with some fancy graphics mod, pretty cool stuff.

        Yeah, this is the make us feel old thread.

        We’re only a couple months from the launch lineup for the ps2 qualifying here.

          My hope is that this becomes a living document that will show up in search engines and make people aware of lemmy and can be reffered to when people ask “what should i play?” Thats why the title says “best” instead of “most popular.” There’s a lot of hidden gems posted already.

      My thought when reading the title of the thread was “If Half-Life fits the bill, it’s half life.”

      Revolutionary game.

      I hear people say all the time that it is perfect. It definitely has imperfections.

      However while I will insist on it being imperfect it has still been my number one favorite game for at least two decades.

      It is easily the closest to perfect I think you could possibly ask for with the hardware limitations and the fact that teams don’t have magical infinite time or budgets. Anyone with even a slight interest in RPGs should play it.

      Plus it gave us the musical career of Yasunori Mitsuda

      The SNES library of RPGs will always be peak gaming. Chrono Trigger & Earthbound fight for the top spot for me, #3 depends on the day.

        PS1’s rpg library is nothing to scoff at, either. Square’s golden years (3 mainline final fantasy, tactics, Chrono Cross, Parasite Eve and more), Suikoden, Persona, Breath of Fire 3, Valkyrie Profile.

      I never played it, what are everyone’s thoughts on the 2018 pc version? Some reviews don’t like the port?

      There are better Zelda games. ALTTP is clever, for sure, but the path through the game has too many obtuse moments. I don’t know how I would have gotten through it the first time without Nintendo Power magazine. I liked Link’s Awakening and Link Between Worlds more, though without Link to the Past, we wouldn’t have those games.

      Now, the Super Metroid and A Link to the Past Randomizer is an incredible achievement and a must-play for people who have finished both original games.

      Boooo! The World Is Not Enough was superior in every way. Fully-voiced dialog and a working physics engine, on the freaking Nintendo 64! No Oddjob bullshit in multiplayer, either.

      Never understood why everyone sleeps on TWINE and praises GoldenEye. Every single time. Y’all missed out on a really good sequel.

      Edit: *sigh* See what I mean? Why does everyone hate this game!?

        There’s also a really nice skiing game called ‘skiing’ (no joke) by featherweight games. The ads aren’t too bad, and I think they did a really good job of capturing the rhythmic back and forth of slaloming.

        I think it’s still fun today. Maybe only for a few minutes, but it never fails to entertain me.
