      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!

    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.

      @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.

    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.

    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
