I wore out the connector pins on Rogue Squadron.
You should not have switched games.
spyro and crash were my jam back in the day
Hard to top 1998. Same thing with 2007-2009 but for franchises.
Where the Freeman is Half-Life?
Edit: 2nd row, my app was cutting off the top and bottom of the image oops
Middle of second row.
Before looking at the picture I knew Thief would be there. The game itself is great but the level editor and the fan missions really made that game shine. The fan mission "Hush, Hush, Sweet Harlot" was arguably better than the original game story.
The OG trilogy plus the mostly unrelated remake are in a bundle on GOG right now for under $8.
It's wild to me that not only have I play most of those games, I played them when they came out. It was nice having friends and physical copies of shit.
That's actually incredible! I remember getting a SNES, then a Dreamcast. Only years later did I get a PS2 which played PS1 games. I never owned a N64 and would play it at friends houses.
I don't think anybody I knew owned every system
No one I knew owned every system, but we would trade systems and games all the time. I was 16-17 in this era, so my friends and I had cars and jobs and shit, so we traded a lot of stuff around.
Kula World was suprisingly a lot of fun.
With bony hands I hold my partner, On soulless feet we cross the floor, The music stops as if to answer, An empty knocking at the door. It seems his skin was sweet as mango, When last I held him to my breast, But now, we dance this grim fandango, And will four years until we rest.
Sonic Adventure came out in '99 outside Japan.
Well I guess you'll be throwing that dart really far.
A local pawn shop is selling PS1 Spyro the Dragon for $70.
still working through grim fandango, no spoilers please, somebody already ruined The Sopranos
Here's are some more spoilers for The Sorpranos, Tony plays Mario Kart in an episode, and he opens the fridge in another episode.
I closed my eyes and pointed at a random spot. Got Thief twice in a row.
Guess I gotta play it now.
Most of these are above mid but not at all "legendary". The series they are part of are legendary, but the specific games are not at all the high point and reason for that. There are definitely some timeless masterpieces there, but not enough to make it some singular year that has never been surpassed or equalled.
Xenogears is one of my all time favorite games. What could have been...
Our standards were much lower. We’ve been spoiled.
But, on the other hand, games have gotten kind of shit lately.
I mean, not strictly talking games this year but we've had Baldur's Gate 3, Expedition 33, Hades 2, Fellowship, Little Kitty Big City, Dispatch, Split fiction, Silksong, Black ops 7 (lol jk), Nightreign, Lies of P and plenty more that I probably am not aware of recently. Games haven't gotten shit lately, games have always been shit. Just like "all music from the 70s was good" is due to only the best standing the test of time, "games were better in the 90s" is because we forgot the absolute garbage that surrounded the gems that still hold up.
That’s a lot of bangers
I played every game on that image except rollaway, and whatever is below 1080?
looks like unreal
