The Donkey Kong remake on the GameBoy is still one of my favorites and an amazing puzzle platformer!

Don’t miss out on Mario Vs. Donkey Kong (GBA, with a recent Switch remake). It’s the psuedo-sequel. The sequels to it though are completely different gameplay styles, unfortunately.

Here is my list:

*Final Fantasy Tactics

*Devil May Cry

*Resident Evil

*Nightmare Creatures

*Psych - Ops

*Legend of Zelda (SNES)

*Tetrishpere

*Portal 2

There are many I am forgetting from age. But those are the highlights.

Populous The Beginning

ObsidianZed,

Many many many hours in computers class in grade school was lost to this game. Best game of what I only found out later to be a series.

Star control 2

jj4211,

You can get that free as Ur Quan Masters that has been ported to modern operating systems, with optional new renditions of the music that are pretty good.

Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers

It is a puzzle game like Myst but the puzzles make more sense, less like rubbing 2 coconuts on everything until they fit, and the world has more life to it.

The sheer amount of games available today probably makes it hard to get into many of the older gems. Hell, even I have a 30 year backlog.

I think everyone should explore:

  • The Secret of Monkey Island (1, 2 and return)
  • Loom
  • Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
  • Street Rod
  • Prince of Persia
  • The Incredible Machine
  • Pokémon yellow/red/blue
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Worms
  • Mega Man II
  • TMNT: Turtles in Time
  • Diablo II
  • Burnout 3/legends/takedown
  • Skyrim

Crono Trigger is a real gem for an early SNES RPG. Highly recommend.

msage,

There are so many ‘Prince of Persia’ games that you need to add a year to be more specific.

So they finally made a sequel?

I’m thinking about the 1989 version. There’s many ports, but DOS/Amiga/Macintosh are all good. Even the C64 port is great.

mrvictory1,

Would you recommend a ssoecific Worms game for PC? I have “Worms” (that’s the whole game title) on PS3 which has modern 2D graphics but idk which edition to get on Steam to get a similar experience, there are so many games.

HarriPotero,
@HarriPotero@lemmy.world avatar

Just Worms that got all the ports.

I haven’t tried the 2007 version that you speak of, but it might be good. I’ve played a couple of rounds of WMD on my switch, and as I recall the gameplay was similar.

Of course, you need one or three friends in your couch to pass the controller around to to get the full experience.

I still think Metal Gear Solid 1,2, and 3 hold up very well in terms of story and gameplay. The controls take a bit of getting used to, if you're used to how modern games play, but once you get the hang of it they are really an experience.

MGS 1 was my first mature rated game, and I actually managed to stumble my 8 or 9 year old way through a decent portion of the game with no idea what I was doing before my mother threw it away (claiming I must have done something with it, which I never got punished for so I don’t think my dad believed)

When I was a teenager, the second one came out and I was hooked after playing the tanker level, even though I didn’t get to play as Snake.

Honestly I think 1&2 are the ones you really need to get used to. 3 has some wonky sections as the camera changes angles, but for the most part it’s pretty close to “modern action/rpg”

I feel like the only time I ever hear people talking about this series is in the context of memes like Revolver Ocelot (Revolver Ocelot). The games really don’t get enough love.

After all these years, Flatout series (made by Bugbear) just got new updates: workshop support, steam cards etc. some devs are just different and rare in today’s gaming world.

jj4211,

The biggest drawback that may offset the enjoyment of a lot of the 90s JRPG are the random encounters, and the “wait for bars to fill” systems that makes nothing happen for long periods of time by either side.

Lots of great suggestions here, but if you’ve never played the original Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, and Super Mario World, you should. There is a reason they’re considered classics and everybody should experience Mario’s roots. My 8 year old plays them every so often and he keeps progressing.

SMB 2 is a good game as well, but it’s quite different from the others. It is the origin of a few series staples, though.

Zelda 2.

If you’re into the '90s extreme aesthetic, I’d definitely recommend Comix Zone to get you neck-deep in it.

You play Sketch Turner, a comic artist who- along with his pet rat, Roadkill- gets sucked into his own comic by the comic’s villain, Mortus, who wants to trap Sketch forever so he can exist in the real world or something.

It’s a side-scroller beat 'em up where you move across the panels and pages of a comic book, punching and kicking mutants while the Sega sound chip blasts (occasionally grating but still awesome) grungy rock at you. If you’re into '90s shit, there’s nothing not to love

Half life, if you really can’t get into it check out black mesa but please try the original first it is amazing and was truly ground breaking. Then play the portal games because they expand on eachother.
