Conkers Bad Fur Day N64
Tie Fighter PC/Mac
Someday I need to go back and replay that without the cheats (no ammo depletion or collision, I think were the ones I used).
I was more of an X-Wing fan myself but its a great series!
Syndicate PC/Mac
SkiFree (PC)
Check out Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders for modern SkiFree vibes!
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.
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.
Doom
Elite - BBC Micro Model B originally.
Half-Life
Bloody hell, I didn't realize it's that old. I played it in high school, feels like yesterday.
ToeJam and Earl - Sega Genesis
Final Fantasy 7 - PlayStation
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Nintendo 64
Baldur's Gate, both 1 & 2 on PC (I prefer #1). I had to actively consider whether it had been at least 25 years it came out and...I feel super old now 😅.
Damn, yeah, now I feel old. I remember that was the first time my brother and I came to a formal agreement on sharing the computer so we could each play.
Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap - Master System
aka:
- Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap - Game Gear
- Dragon's Curse - TurboGrafx-16
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - N64, 2000
If made today this could be "premium" DLC but it was an amazing product given the constraints of a 15 month development window and a need to use existing assets and engine features as much as possible.
