Have you tried psychonauts? Definitely worth a play if you haven't.

I fondly remember playing the sonic games as a little dude. Also I spent sooooooo many hours playing Rocket Knight Adventures. I still play that one. Its much easier now though for whatever reason

Just the 90's here, (25 now), but I did play a lot of PC games. We never owned any consoles.

Best game Eva.

Lemmings! I loved the Lemmings games.

X:Com
Toejam and Earl
Wing Commander (3 was my fav)
Earthworm Jim
Johhny Bazookatone
Cool Spot (The game where you're the 7-up red Spot)
Master of Orion series (played for over a decade)
Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2
Early FF games (2-3 being most notable... 7 being most common recognizable)
Sega CD... the whole console lol
Sega Channel... no one remembers this, it was about a decade ahead of its time and AWESOME
Zombies Ate my Neighbors
Mega Man (first few games defined the series imho)
R-Type / Super R-Type
Pirates by Gold (still fun if you have the rom)
Raiden by Trad (a little newer than the rest but still...)
Frogger (really fun as a kid, one of the first games I ever played)
Battle Toads, Battle Toads and Double Dragon
Super Mario World
Kirby, Kirby in Dreamland
Game Gear (lots of great and underrated games... everyone forgets game gear too frown.gif )
Vectorman
Master Blaster (this game was HARD as a kid)
Castlevania
Echo the Dolphin
Zelda (A Link to the Past being the notable one for me)
Bomberman series! - Culminating in Bomberman 64 and Bomberman (PC version) for me...
Perfect Dark (graphics kill my eyes now, but were good back then lol)
... lots more...
I played a ton of games in the 90's with few being from the 80's, but I'm a 90's kid (born in '86). I played the Atari 2600, but grew up really starting with the Nintendo and SNES.. moving on from there. I remember the VR craze for a few years there too. 2 malls near me had VR arcades, and the Virtual Boy... yeah... might explain my horrible vision... TeleroBoxer be damned frown.gif

I LOVED 90's games, but even though the graphics are ton's better now, the gameplay value will just never be the same.

I can understand that, indie games do rule all though they aren't perfect then again neither are classic game but, i get where you are coming form.
