Might and might 3 F19 stealth jet Doom Wolfenstein Red alert Warcraft 3
Wolfenstein and Hover.
Ocarina of time Red Alert .. yeah probably just those two would do me
Myth The Fallen Lords and Myth 2 on the Macintosh. This was my favorite multiplayer game I’ve ever played by far.
Other great Mac games from my youth: The Odyssey (1994) by David Larkin Sim City and Sim City 2000 Rogue Sim Ant Prince of Persia The Scarab of Ra Realmz Path Ways into Darkness and Marathon
And my favorites on BBS were Major Mud and Legend of the Red Dragon.
I didn't have a PC, but when I went to friend’s houses I would play the shit out of Doom.
I'm old so a lot but I always mention SSI DnD games like Pool of Radiance. I think the games would be a bit of slog for most people today. All the Ultimas besides 9.
Ore Truck Simulator '96
amiga wings of fury
atari 1040ST outrun (the audio on atari!!!)
c64 zak mckraken
Squarez Deluxe (which is now Freeware!)
It's a thinking man's Tetris and about 100x more rewarding to play
Lords of the Realm 2, the OG X-Com trilogy, Total Annihilation, Dark Reign, Civ II Test of Time
Myst and Obsidian
Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator
X-Com - UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep (I remember hacking my demo copy of UFO Defense and bypassing the shareware check. Still my all time favorite strategy game)
Doom
Duke Nukem 1, 2, and 3D
Wolfenstein 3D
Jetpack
Commander Keen
Raptor: Call of the Shadows
Rise of the Triad
Monster Bash (Just pretty much anything 3D Realms or Apogee related was gold)
Moraff's Dungeons of the Unforgiven(Only ever had the shareware version as a kid, but I played it over and over)
Right on Y2K was NFS Porsche Unleashed aka Porsche 2000. As long as you play the PC version it's an amazing game and there are a few graphics enhancing mods too.
Boy that is tough. There are a few just after 2000 but I was not doing much in the late nineties. I can't think of anything after xwing series that was not after 2k. Doom2. I honestly cannot remember what I was doing computer game wise in the late 90's.
1995ish, Starfighter 3000 - DOS Windows 95
Janky as fuck by today's standards, but that was my gateway drug into PC gaming.
SSI gold box D&D titles and Dungeon master, though both are better on Amiga
Chips Challenge for Windows, Sim City 3000, Age of Empires 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 (Technically not pre-2000 because it was released in 2000.)
Infantry. My first online multiplayer game. Somehow I made it into a squad that got 2nd place in the seasonal tournament and also had arguably the best player in the whole game. I didn't play in the matches but I was in the squad!
Ganja Farmer...
Fate of Atlantis is pretty good
