The Ghost Recon theme has been stuck in my head off and on ever since it came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwLIHqkqHcw

I didn't even play the game that much -- I think I beat it once, played the multiplayer a little, and moved on. But the music is catchy.

Ambrosia probably provided me the most hours of gaming entertainment over the 90s. They published Mac software and, if I remember correctly, most of their games were shareware and the non-paid versions were pretty well featured.

I wonder how many hundreds of hours I played Escape Velocity and Escape Velocity Override. Those were some absolutely amazing games and they supported plugins (mods) and had a thriving mod community.

For the 90s mac users, you’ll probably recognize a lot of their games (listed on the Wikipedia page). Here are some from the 90s that stand out to me:

Maelstrom

Chiral

Apeiron

Swoop

Barrack

Escape Velocity

Avara

Bubble Trouble

Harry the Handsome Executive

Mars Rising

EV Override

Ares

Escape Velocity Nova

Fighting Fantasy books

Grimpen,

Have most of them still! I think all of them into the 20’s, and hit or miss after. There’s been a couple of reboots.

Aspyr! I was a Mac user in an era that was 95% Windows, and Aspyr brought quality games over to our side of the pond. I remember they ported Alpha Centauri in particular, but there were lots of other ones too.

Also Bungie back in that era—they were Mac-exclusive and putting out the amazing Marathon series. I was heartbroken when I saw the trailer for the new “Marathon” game that looks nothing like the originals.

Hard to pick but early to mid 90s era Maxis, Bullfrog, Bungie (Pathways/Marathon/Myth era), Blizzard, and SEGA all come to mind. All either gone or changed.

Apogee Software for Rise of the Triad, Blue Sky Productions for Última Underworld and Bullfrog Productions for Syndicate.

I can’t see the name Apogee without hearing the fanfare.

I miss Wacky Wheels.

I won’t, because you’re right!

LilB0kChoy,

I’m always reminded of finding and playing the midi files from the game music on my 486 as background music.

Arcanum’s main theme gets my vote.

It’s weird. It’s terrible as music - just random strings with almost no recognizable tune outside of the first few seconds - but it sets a mood better than any other. It’s distilled melancholy in music form.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

💯 percent this piece of music makes me feel things

Westwood I had fun with Red Alert 1 & 2 for a long time. Super casual player though.

DMA Design and Stainless Studios.

SSI for Dark Sun. They merged into Mindscape which then dissolved according to Wikipedia.

Quintet for the Soul Blazer/Terranigma/Illusion of Gaia trilogy. They just kinda disappeared in the early 2000s.

Civ 4: Baba Yetu

b_crussin,

For me it’s Civ 5’s theme, always gives me chills

charles,

Such a fantastic song. Not at all surprising that it was the first piece of music from a video game to not only be nominated for but to win a Grammy.

nik9000,

I like this video with it.

Dice with the OG Battlefield 2 on PC. That’s what I mostly played. Now I haven’t touched a BF game in years. None have lived up to that game yet.
