Star Flight

Fairy Tale Adventure

Both from the 80s

Crash Bandicoot 2

The Last Express - really great story

Pizza Tycoon - this was such a fantastic management sim, I spent ages playing it back in the day

Wolfenstein and Hover.

My guy, we have the technology. You can edit that title to fix the horrible grammar lol.

"What are your favorite pre-2000 video games?"

Quarantine

Ocarina of time Red Alert .. yeah probably just those two would do me

Amiga:

• Sensible Soccer
• Soccer Kid
• The Chaos Engine

ZX Spectrum:

• Chaos
• Robocop
• Midnight Resistance

Star Control 2

All challengers can GTFO 🧐

I always go back to the original Age of Empires as a classic.

Speedball 2 Brutal Deluxe and Cannon Fodder are must try (there are both Amiga and dos versions for both).

Lemmings is really good. Original Worms. Lost Vikings. Syndicate.

• Turrican 1-3 [Amiga]
• Command and Conquer
• Monkey Island 1 [Amiga]
• Sim City 2000 (Network edition)
• Unreal Tournament
• Super Metroid [Super Nintendo]
• Metal Slug [Neo Geo/Arcade]
• Pinball Dreams/Illusions (made by DICE before they renamed themselves)

Might and might 3 F19 stealth jet Doom Wolfenstein Red alert Warcraft 3

Myst is an all-time classic. I'd just wander around exploring the world.

I tried so hard to get anywhere in Magic Carpet but our home computer ran the game too fast. I needed the "turbo button" to slow the game down but we didn't have one.

Also had the PC version of Garfield Caught in the Act (just called Garfield on PC). Played through it over and over again. The Genesis game with improved graphics, an exclusive level and one of the most underrated soundtracks in gaming. Seriously, look up the soundtrack to the PC version, the entire thing jams.

EDIT: Also, Age of Wonders. I actually spent more time in the level editor than in the game itself, building Middle Earth as a map and placing cities, factions and leaders on it as something of an "old school" (for the time) Battle for Middle Earth.

I loved the Harpoon series of naval warfare simulation games. I haven’t played since the late 90s but they were a lot of fun.

Gothic I from '98

Squarez Deluxe (which is now Freeware!)

It's a thinking man's Tetris and about 100x more rewarding to play

Chips Challenge for Windows, Sim City 3000, Age of Empires 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 (Technically not pre-2000 because it was released in 2000.)

Myst and Obsidian

Infantry. My first online multiplayer game. Somehow I made it into a squad that got 2nd place in the seasonal tournament and also had arguably the best player in the whole game. I didn't play in the matches but I was in the squad!

Myth The Fallen Lords and Myth 2 on the Macintosh. This was my favorite multiplayer game I’ve ever played by far.

Other great Mac games from my youth: The Odyssey (1994) by David Larkin Sim City and Sim City 2000 Rogue Sim Ant Prince of Persia The Scarab of Ra Realmz Path Ways into Darkness and Marathon

And my favorites on BBS were Major Mud and Legend of the Red Dragon.

I didn't have a PC, but when I went to friend’s houses I would play the shit out of Doom.

Ganja Farmer...

SSI gold box D&D titles and Dungeon master, though both are better on Amiga

Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator

Ore Truck Simulator '96

Boy that is tough. There are a few just after 2000 but I was not doing much in the late nineties. I can't think of anything after xwing series that was not after 2k. Doom2. I honestly cannot remember what I was doing computer game wise in the late 90's.

Lords of the Realm 2, the OG X-Com trilogy, Total Annihilation, Dark Reign, Civ II Test of Time

Fate of Atlantis is pretty good
