By far my favorite game of all time. 11/10
Hell yeah! There are dozens of us! No game has topped it for me
It's Doom.
It's literally a photo of id software devs. You can tell by John Romero's glorious mane.

Video games changed so much during the 90s. I feel like this describes a single year.
Soundtracks have always been fire though. I still have the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack, Red Alert soundtrack, Sim City 3000, etc in my playlist.
Morrowind.
I still listen to this music when working. Puts me right in the mood
Maybe if the book was eight times taller
The book is from the game and actually only has 2 pages in it.

Megaman 2 for me. Shit was hard but I still listen to the soundtrack
MegaMan 2 isn't a 90's game though.
Donkey Kong Country had like. One of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Game was really hard towards the end too. One of my fav games of all time.
Doom could apply here too. ID was very much a small studio of dorks with a limited budget.
About the majestic soundtrack of Doom: That's why it's still my ringtone.
Populous: The Beginning
~~Black and White~~
Warcraft 1 & 2
Monkey Island 1-3
I could go on.

Optimal game dev size.
I still remember playing the Colin McRae rally demo on PS1 for the first time in 1998 or 1999 and seeing the Impreza WRX get mud splatters on it's sides in real time while drifting through the Scottish highlands. There have been few if any as awe inspiring gaming moments since, maybe the original Gran Turismo replay graphics.
Star Control 2
Any of the Legacy of Kain games
You gotta change that book to encyclopedia size. The amount of shenanigans you can’t explain without going into the other tomfoolery Amy Hennig and the rest of those wacky geniuses came up with…

I never really had sounds in the 90s. Always caused my mom to get headaches. All video games were played on low or no volume.
You poor bastard.

Ultima Online, for sure. Anyone who says the Minoc theme song isn't banging is drunk and on drugs
The face even looks like a Deus Ex NPC.
Just a picture of Tim follin on the bottom right would have been enough, his music is sole weird voodoo only a Tim filling could pull of.
Bro went fire on everything, like pictionary;

Graphic's
For me it'd be Driver 1 and 2 followed by Lost World: Jurassic Park for the PS1.
The beat for Driver 1's San Francisco theme just slaps

I am not sure about the budget portion for GameFreak during the release of Pokemon Colosseum as Nintendo was reworking the pay structure and their work with GameFreak around that time.
Colesseum though, I just played it for the first time ever and my god it is hardest and most tedious of the entire series and the music is killer. The underlying narrative and lore is interesting when you start adding XD Gale or Darkness into the mix as well.
Wing Commander, Privateer, and Strike Commander for me.
