    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.

      I remember beating Final Fantasy VII and just staring at my TV in shock. Like, mouth hanging open, mind blown.

      What’s crazy is for the life of me, I can’t even remember the basic gist of the ending of the game today. I just remember how it made me feel.

    • 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.

    1. Quake
    2. Thief
    3. Metal Gear Solid
    4. Half Life
    5. 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.

      Yeah, super nice choices!

      With exception of MGS, I still play all of those (Quake and Thief series) every few years.

    Total Annihilation… couldn’t get enough of it. Even playing strategy games today I desperately miss the elaborate control and mechanics of TA.

      Pretty sure you can get a modern copy of TA. Either on steam or gog.

      And if you like the general style but want to broaden your horizons a bit, Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance and Planetary Annihilation: Titans are both good options!

    My favorite games as a child growing up in the 90s:

    Zelda OoT

    Super Mario 64

    Pokemon Red

    Zelda OoA/OoS


    Though after later playing Final Fantasy 7 in 2003 that quickly captivated me and became really special to me. It was my first Final Fantasy I ever played and one of my most cherished games to this day.

    Also, while I never played the original 90s game, I absolutely adored Black Mesa and the Half Life franchise. It was damn impressive what Valve accomplished with the original Half Life back then.
