So many to pick… But I will choose only a few…
Age of Empires 2
Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Civilization
Doom 2
- Ff4, 6, and 7
- Chronotrigger
- Super Metroid
- Castlevania SOTN
- Zelda a Link to the past
- Tony hawk’s pro skater 1 and 2
- Any of the street fighter
- Pokemon
- Star craft + brood war
- Diablo 1 and 2
And so much more!
I’ve bought SOTN for 4 different systems/platforms now. Double Crissaegrim and double Rings of Varda ftw.
I used to play it that way to. OP. To the max. It was more fun to try the other weapons and items to be honest. The game has tonnes of unique gear!
This is almost my exact list. They’re all games I will happily replay.
I’m kinda surprised it took this long to see Pokémon mentioned.
Top 5
Doom and Doom II
Command and Conquer: Red Alert
Super Mario World
StarCraft with Brood War expansion
Duke 3D
Agree for C&C:RA. I easily spent hundreds of hours playing that game. But would you believe they were all on the PS1? (family didn’t have a PC in the 90s 🫤)
You can play Super Mario World on the PS1?
I gotta see that. Lol
StarCraft
The StarCraft storyline and characters resonated so much with me as a kid.
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
One of my all-time favorite Zelda games!
Mine too!
Command and conquer, before Westwood was fucked over by EA
Earthbound
and of course motherfucking Half-Life
Legendary ending and silly humor throughout made this my goat game. Super Mario World and Super Metroid tie for second.
Definitely Half-Life.
The exact two that came to my mind!
that’s a big hi five, bro!
- Quake
- Thief
- Metal Gear Solid
- Half Life
- System Shock 2
Honourable mention to Final Fantasy 7, and Zelda Ocarina of Time. They might have been great when released, but I don’t think they’ve aged well.
@Platform27@lemmy.ml @mayflower@lemmy.ml Those are some excellent choices. I’d pick quake for multiplayer - and SS2 for single. Honorable mention to Dune 2.
Yeah, super nice choices!
With exception of MGS, I still play all of those (Quake and Thief series) every few years.
Hard to pick one but if I had to I’d go with Final Fantasy VII since it was the game that got me into RPGs, and I got some good memories of watching my brother play it when we were kids.
Earthbound and Chronotrigger are the two games with the most memories for me.
U. N. Squadron and Super Punch-out! We’re the two I played through the most - just over and over again. So much fun.
Original Unreal. Ranked #1 in the world at one point for a couple weeks. Nothing compares to that game and time for me.
Heroes of Might and Magic 2
Heroes of Might and Magic III !!!
A great choice as well! Both are my favorites from the series, but 2 is the one that I got to play first as a kid.

I remember being amazed at the seemingly super fluid animation of the character running. And those falling sequences…

Baldur’s Gate
Donkey Kong Country 2
Fallout. I’m yet to play the second part and people say it’s even better. You just don’t see such game design anymore, I can’t say modern or old one is better, both have their advantages but playing Fallout was totally worth it
If you loved it, you must play 2! It’s so good.
