Half-Life
Bloody hell, I didn’t realize it’s that old. I played it in high school, feels like yesterday.
Play Black Mesa, you deserve it. Not only it’s Half-Life like you’ve never seen it, but there’s also a completed Xen campaign.
I did, it’s amazing. Also just replayed HL2 with some fancy graphics mod, pretty cool stuff.
Yeah, this is the make us feel old thread.
We’re only a couple months from the launch lineup for the ps2 qualifying here.
My hope is that this becomes a living document that will show up in search engines and make people aware of lemmy and can be reffered to when people ask “what should i play?” Thats why the title says “best” instead of “most popular.” There’s a lot of hidden gems posted already.
Super Mario Bros 3 - NES
This game was huge. People that weren’t around at the time don’t understand how much better it was than previous games.
They made a freaking MOVIE to promote it!
And that stupid glove.
Looking back, boy did they have vision. I get that the Power Glove wasn’t all it was cracked up to be but Nintendo really saw early on how we want to interact with our machines.
Then somewhere along the way they realized they could make a lot of money by relicensing the same game over and over again, and suing their most loyal fans out of existence.
YES. It’s absolutely criminal that people always show the first one off and out it on a pedestal.
Chrono Trigger - SNES, 1995
Starcraft
This game started esports.
I would argue Quake or Street Fighter 2 holds that distinction, but it’s close.
Reporting!
Unit. Lost. Unit. Lost. Unit. Lost.
Doom
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Nintendo 64
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
Super Mario World. The perfect platformer.
Castlevania Symphony of the Night - PlayStation
How do I upvote twice?
Use an alt account, but this would technically count as vote manipulation.
Final Fantasy 7 - PlayStation
Tetris - Gameboy
SkiFree (PC)
Check out Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders for modern SkiFree vibes!
I mean… if there’s no yeti trying to eat me it just won’t feel the same…
There’s also a really nice skiing game called ‘skiing’ (no joke) by featherweight games. The ads aren’t too bad, and I think they did a really good job of capturing the rhythmic back and forth of slaloming.
Skiing Yeti Mountain?
Ah, thanks, that’s what it’s called in the program seller on the phone. It just appears as ‘skiing’ on the desktop underneath it’s button.
Thanks for the recommendation and I’ll check it out. Skiing would be a terrible name to search…lol
This game occupied a big chunk of my early years. Fear the yeti!
I think it’s still fun today. Maybe only for a few minutes, but it never fails to entertain me.
Donkey Kong Country - SNES
