I am very sad that I've scrolled several pages and haven't seen the obvious one (though I could just be blind):
Deus Ex.
Edit: or perhaps it's because Deus Ex is from 2000 and I don't know if it counts yet. Maybe I'll wait 'til next year!
Freelancer, PC
Thief (1998)
Dance Dance Revolution.
(Do you feel old now?)
Suikoden
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Mega Drive
My first game ever.. good times
X-COM: UFO Defense
Metal Great Solid
Final Fantasy Tactics
Bubble Bobble, Arcade, 1986
Phantasy Star IV
Pokémon Crystal is just shy of your 25 year threshold depending on what month it was released (it came out in 2000 in Japan), so I'll say Pokémon Yellow or Pokémon Gold and Silver. We can sit here and nitpick about which is the best, but Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal were all amazing.
Warcraft 2 best Warcraft hands down
Street fighter 2 - hyper fighting edition (arcade).
Played this every day after school for years as did a huge portion of my school.
Spyro (series) Playstation 1998-2000
Chrono Trigger - SNES, 1995
I never played it, what are everyone's thoughts on the 2018 pc version? Some reviews don't like the port?
I hear people say all the time that it is perfect. It definitely has imperfections.
However while I will insist on it being imperfect it has still been my number one favorite game for at least two decades.
It is easily the closest to perfect I think you could possibly ask for with the hardware limitations and the fact that teams don't have magical infinite time or budgets. Anyone with even a slight interest in RPGs should play it.
Plus it gave us the musical career of Yasunori Mitsuda
The SNES library of RPGs will always be peak gaming. Chrono Trigger & Earthbound fight for the top spot for me, #3 depends on the day.
Best JRPG of all time and I’ll die on that hill 🤣
