This game was janky as hell but so much fun, especially when nightmare scenarios emerged. Was picking up pots at night in a major storm and 1 crew member went overboard at the same time as a fire popped up in the galley. We never recovered the overboard crew member.

I get so mad this game hasn't gotten a next gen sequel. It was revolutionary. It's just sad that the second one wasn't great and Just Cause is NOT a good replacement

 

[STARSBarry]

This game blew my mind and my friends back in the day, good solid 2 player challenge with a kick ass soundtrack.

When I was a kid I rented BioFreaks on my N64 all the time.
It's all rose tinted googles for me on this one as I know it has a very poor reputation.

We take hearing speech in games for granted, but the clarity of the voices blew me away in 1987

This:

Not sure if people remember it or not but I only have fond memories. One of my favorite games on the PS2 and an absolute injustice there was never any sequel.

 

[LordOfChaos]

I'd love to see an MDK 3 come back in a modern form

 

[Jigsaah]

Here's a gem,

Soundtrack by Psykosonic of "Mortal Kombat: The Movie" fame. This is when I first discovered the music group. Great game. Reminded me of the original Ninja Gaiden.

League of Legends - Dominion game mode, RIP

 

[Three]

Street Racer for the SNES (also came out on other platforms)

This is pure nostalgia, and I am sure that this game doesn't hold up today, but me and a friend put hundreds of hours into every mode in Mario Kart and totally exhausted it, and needed something similar to play.

It was basically a Mario Kart rip off, with Road Rash style combat. Was it as good as Mario Kart? No, nowhere close, but I still played it to death anyway.

I played this game daily. Did you play the football!/soccer mode?

Legend of Legaia

 

[Orta]

Criminally underrated little gem.

 

[Mochilador]

This one is pretty special to me.




And this one I used to call it the "little mage game".

 

[Marchizmo]

This game was the shit, too bad my mom gave my saturn away with my mint copy of this along with other lost gems.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Played this on Apple II. Business game. Super fun with my siblings. Didn't know what I was doing as I was a kid, but the key thing was to see how many units sold at the price you set. Played this on emulator when the internet came about and then fully understood the financials. lol

[Halo is Back]

One of the most unique and funny games I have ever played.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Top down RPG ala Diablo but with a gothic theme and a badass story. I spent countless hours trying to discover every nook and cranny... so many summer vaction days went to this game ah the times.

 

[Twinguistics]

California games. (can't get the stupid picture to post using mobile).


Played tons of it. As there was no function to save high scores, we wrote them on paper and had tons of scraps littered around the room. Awesome.

 

[DelireMan7]

EDIT : I forgot this masterpiece :

 

[UnNamed]

A MMOFPS with huge maps and up to 256 players playing together... in 2004. 16 years later we have tons of online games that struggle to run 6 players online in the same map/track.

It still has some followers and some servers are still active. No wonder since it's a Novalogic's game.

 

[Pejo]

Some good shit in this thread. I'll add a few

Fun little 2D sidescroller where you could control 3 different mechas (and eventually the titular dude pictured).

Another side-scroller where you could turn into a werewolf, and it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure you had scythes for hands. Notable as probably the first native american protag (maybe?). Data East used to have some good shit, Bad Dudes was another favorite.

I think this was either a prequel or sequel to ikari warriors. Regardless, this was the first videogame I ever played. I used to go over to my dad's friend's house. His kids had a NES with this game, and it had multiplayer. Really great memories.

 

[Madevil]

There's so many, but here's the first that popped into my head:

 

[Tschumi]

Maybe the single best game of the time for capturing the sense of awe, mystery, cultural detail, etc, of LOTR and such

 

[Tschumi]

One of the most unique and funny games I have ever played.

Could play an HD version of that right now if i wanted, just how bitchin is it?

 

[Perrott]

 

[GenericUser]

Everyone knows about the PC version obviously, but I have so many fond memories playing this bad boy. We went to a friends house, brought with us our PS1 consoles, our own freaking huge CRT TVs and a link cable. Shit was so cash. Luring my unsuspecting friend and his billions of MIGs into my well hidden anti-air flak cannons - priceless.

 

[sublimit]

 

[Arun1910]

I was about 6 or 7 when I got this.

 

[Turnstyle]

I played this game daily. Did you play the football!/soccer mode?

Yes! It was basically like early Rocket League!

 

[MasterDerico]

Global Gladiators on Genesis is great! I played a lot!

 

[kraspkibble]

burnin rubber (1990)

probably one of the first games i ever played. definitely the first car/racing game. i played it on this bad boy:

the specs of this puppy?

4MHz cpu
64KB RAM
MC6845 video controller with 27 colour support and ran at a resolution of 160x200 or up to 640x200

 

[rodabelt]

Karateka on the Apple II.

 

[Caio]

 

[Bwesh]

Heart of Darkness. Ps1 and PC

 

[HoofHearted]

The ORIGINAL Madden game - duh:

 

[base]

 

[namekuseijin]

Kenseiden on Sega Master System

a true hardcore classic journey of a samurai against countless hordes of youkai. I'm surprised it was never actually a Sega arcade game, it looked and played like one in every way. Harder than Shinobi. You could choose your path through the map, excellent detail in a top notch 8-bits game. Only finished once, took me months to get there - main issue being limited lives.

 

[borborygmus]

It does seem nobody remembers FF7. How on Earth is FF7R so well received?

 

[SEGA_2012]

Battle Monsters

 

[MasterCornholio]

Absolutely loved this one.

 

[Irobot82]

A Fool's Errand.

One of the greatest PC puzzle games of all time.

 

[Nikolasvanitas]

Loved these games,its a shame Sony doesnt have them as ps2 classics with some extra work like the FF remasters,getting new jrpgs on the ps2 with no prior knowledge only from magazines was amazing

 

[Bwesh]

Absolutely loved this one.

I'm sure every single person who played it, loved it.

 

[base]

It does seem nobody remembers FF7. How on Earth is FF7R so well received?

And still it's a totally different game...

 

[Phobos Base]

Top Gear 2 on the SNES, played the hell out of and completed it as a kid. First game I recall playing with not only car upgrades, but changeable colours and working brake lights!
