Your Fave Pc Games of the 90's....

Now think hard kiddies.
This was almost 10 or more years ago. What were your favorite games from the decade that brought us Kris Kross, and MC hammer.
List Five...

1. Transport Tycoon
2. Lemmings
3. Age Of Empires
4. Warcraft 2
5. Sim Tower
 
1. Marathon 2: Durandal
2. Lands of Lore: Guardians of Destiny
3. System Shock 2
4. Fallout 2
5. Crusader: No Remorse

Aside from the lack of Deus Ex it's the same as my list would be otherwise.
 
Betrayal at Krondor
Star Trek 25th Anniversary
Lands of Lore
Wolf 3d
Doom
Privateer
Wing Commander 3
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Kings Quest 5
Diablo
X-Wing
Warcraft II
 
5) Doom
Like many others, this was the title that exposed me to PC gaming and broadened my horizons. I'm a member of the "Class of Doom". A landmark title in every sense of the word.

4) Unreal Tournament '99
The best multiplayer shooter of the 90s. What more is there to say?

3) TIE Fighter
The only reason this game isn't higher on the list is because it's a very short list. We didn't get another good Star Wars game until Knights of the Old Republic, and that's one hell of a gap. Yes, I know about the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games. No, they weren't as good as you remember them being.

2) StarCraft
This game is in the running for the game I have sunk the most combined total life-hours into (although WarCraft III may have eclipsed it). Regardless, I don't need to explain it any further.

1) Unreal
I have a spot very very close to my heart for the original Unreal. It's one of the few games that I could accurately describe as "magical" to experience (the only others probably being Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and Half-Life 2). A large portion of this ranking is rosy-colored-glasses, but I really don't give a damn. I'm ok with nostalgia tilting the rating. Another thing I'd like to note is that Unreal was properly long - there was a lot of meat there, unlike today's 8-10 hour shooters. Epic earned themselves an almost unlimited amount of goodwill & trust from this title, which has been helpful lately in overlooking UT3. Winner.
 
5) Descent: Freespace

4) Command and Conquer: Red Alert

3) Battlezone

2) Unreal Tournament

1) Unreal - Best game ever made when it came out, and it still is
 
Ahh, the nineties, the best decade in history... (excluding music) Here are my favorites in no real order.
1) The Doom games

2) Unreal

3) Quake (of course)

4) Half-Life

I'd continue, but you'd find a long list of FPS games. I didn't start playing different playing different genres on the PC until about a few years ago. That what consoles were for in my mind.
 
1. Starcraft
2. Baldur's Gate II
3. Raptor: Call of the Shadows
4. Final Fantasy VII
5. Fallout
 
In no specific order:

1) Warcraft 2
2) Baldur's Gate 2
3) Rise and Rule
4) Total Annihilation
5) Capitalism
 
1. C&C TD
2. C&C Red Alert 1
3. Starcraft
4. Imperium Galactica II
5. Simcity 2000
6. Some ball puzzle game that came with windows 3.1 that noone has managed to identify yet 🙁 It looked really nice.

Tiberium Dawn was pretty awesome, starting from the intro movie. Live action videos are something that should be done more often. I actually played Red Alert first though.
 
X-Wing
Dune II
Tie Fighter
Simcity 2000
Future Wars (pre 90's?)
Gabriel Knight series
Lemmings
Transport Tycoon
Starcraft
Warcraft I & II
Diablo series
Capitalism II
Star Control II
Battlezone
Crusader: No Remorse
Sam & Max
Full Throttle
 
1: Freespace 2
2: Descent 2
3: Unreal Tournament
4: C&C: Red Alert (I actually liked the original C&C better in many ways, but RA's skirmish mode and better mod support meant that I spent far more time with it)
5: Lemmings

All of these include any expansion packs released for them. I could name a number of others if it weren't for the 5 limit. Deus Ex narrowly misses out since it was a 2000 game.

The guy drinking motor oil is absolutely classic, as is the "at least your mother tipped well." 😀
 
1. Tribes
My first addictive FPS. I remember matches played til 3am. Those were the days.

2. X-Wing vs Tie Fighter.
My first exposure to online gaming. Always will be true to the old school Star Wars sims. Also got me involved in my first ever MMO type of gameplay with the Last Starfighter League.

3. X-Wing - Balance of Power
Flying a B-wing made Sentrosi's heart go pitter patter.

4. Diablo
Not as addictive to me as Tribes was, but I did venture onto Battlenet a couple of times.
 
Planescape: Torment (Dec 1999)
Ultima 7 part1 part2
Unreal Tournament (the best shooter ever made)
Baldurs Gate 2
Fallout
