Red Alert 2.
I’ve gone four hours without mentioning it
By far my favorite game of all time. 11/10
Hell yeah! There are dozens of us! No game has topped it for me
I was so disappointed in RA3. It was absolute shit
I completely agree. That was my biggest disappointment in gaming.
Video games changed so much during the 90s. I feel like this describes a single year.
Soundtracks have always been fire though. I still have the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack, Red Alert soundtrack, Sim City 3000, etc in my playlist.
Carmageddon's sound track was made by Fear Factory 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nine in Nails did the music and sound fx for quake.
I feel like it might have started the trend, but I’m not sure.
Edit: also, I hadn’t thought about fear factory in decades. Time to get double bass drummed right back to high school!
It's Doom.
It's literally a photo of id software devs. You can tell by John Romero's glorious mane.
Doom 1 and Doom 2016 are in this picture.
How big was the team for 2016?
Let alone neither carmack nor romero had anything to do with it :p
Pretty sure the only one left at id is the snake..
Spin the roulette wheel of all Sonic games.
The snowboarding level, and the carnival stage.
Lol which one, there's like a dozen of each of those themes!
In the 1990s the only Sonic level with snowboarding was Ice Cap zone.
I was doodling that little blue fucker on a snowboard all through 1st grade lmao.
And Robotnik Winter Zone in Triple Trouble, and Ice Cap from Sonic Adventure, City Escape from SA2, and White Acropolis in Sonic 06, and the entirety of the Sonic Riders games.
That's the best thing about them!
Morrowind.
I still listen to this music when working. Puts me right in the mood
Maybe if the book was eight times taller
The book is from the game and actually only has 2 pages in it.
Morrowind!
Half Life.
Age of Empires II.
Homeworld.
Homeworld hired an actual band though.
Jet set radioooooooo
Looking Glass Studio
Miss them so much
Nobuo Uematsu carried hard with his music. Squeenix hasn't been the same since he left the company
Completely agree. That being said, they still have Masayoshi Soken, and he is easily in the top 3 modern Video Game Composers.
So much of my emotional investment in FFXIV is enhanced by the music, especially in Endwalker.
Crazy Taxi
Baulders Gate
Goldeneye
About the majestic soundtrack of Doom: That's why it's still my ringtone.
Donkey Kong Country had like. One of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Game was really hard towards the end too. One of my fav games of all time.
Doom could apply here too. ID was very much a small studio of dorks with a limited budget.
Megaman 2 for me. Shit was hard but I still listen to the soundtrack
MegaMan 2 isn't a 90's game though.
Populous: The Beginning
Black and WhiteWarcraft 1 & 2
Monkey Island 1-3
I could go on.
Black and White was 2000s
Ah, so it was. That era is pretty much all blurred together in my mind.
Duke 3D, Shadow Warrior, and Blood.
Those were build different.
Optimal game dev size.
I still remember playing the Colin McRae rally demo on PS1 for the first time in 1998 or 1999 and seeing the Impreza WRX get mud splatters on it's sides in real time while drifting through the Scottish highlands. There have been few if any as awe inspiring gaming moments since, maybe the original Gran Turismo replay graphics.
I don't remember this game much, but the sound track is a banger
https://youtu.be/NW9ARJgn3ek?si=7qro8Hfucr7DTfg2
9 days old?! Dank!
/s
Star Control 2
I never really had sounds in the 90s. Always caused my mom to get headaches. All video games were played on low or no volume.
You poor bastard.
I started playing Day of the Tentacle without voices because I couldn't figure out the sound configuration.
Ultima Online, for sure. Anyone who says the Minoc theme song isn't banging is drunk and on drugs
Timesplitters 2
I want a nightdive port of that so fucking bad
I was unreasonably excited when I saw it on my ps5.
Any of the Legacy of Kain games
You gotta change that book to encyclopedia size. The amount of shenanigans you can’t explain without going into the other tomfoolery Amy Hennig and the rest of those wacky geniuses came up with…
Did Soul Reaver 3 ever come out?
Legacy Of Kain: Defiance is the closest we’ll ever get ༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
Still love all those games, though
This has been Gothic for me, although it missed the 90's mark by just a bit
Dito. And Gothic 1 is from '98
Crusader: No Remorse
MechWarrior 2, especially Ghost Bear's Legacy
Descent 1 + 2
Dungeon Keeper 2
Unreal 2
Populous
Prince of Persia series
+1 for mech warrior. Played that in the CD player a ton.
Dev's
what does the dev possess?
WHAT DOES THE DEV POSSESS???
Just a picture of Tim follin on the bottom right would have been enough, his music is sole weird voodoo only a Tim filling could pull of.
Bro went fire on everything, like pictionary;
https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=SJwh3erQlyE
The face even looks like a Deus Ex NPC.
Graphic's
Counterpoint, some 90s games like Half-Life had a pretty good story
I think the meme is suggesting most games had a decent story. Not Game of Thrones level, but a decent 200 page book.
Prince of Persia.
Jordan Mechner is one of the greatest.
I am not sure about the budget portion for GameFreak during the release of Pokemon Colosseum as Nintendo was reworking the pay structure and their work with GameFreak around that time.
Colesseum though, I just played it for the first time ever and my god it is hardest and most tedious of the entire series and the music is killer. The underlying narrative and lore is interesting when you start adding XD Gale or Darkness into the mix as well.
For me it'd be Driver 1 and 2 followed by Lost World: Jurassic Park for the PS1.
The beat for Driver 1's San Francisco theme just slaps
Thought it was going to be Seinfeld for a moment
Secret of Mana would fit everything but the graphics. Those graphics were fire when they came out.
Killer Loop
Wing Commander, Privateer, and Strike Commander for me.
System Shock 2
Anything with the Folletts on soundtrack duty.
ah yes, the touhou games
I still haven't completed a single one without retries
Created by one person, he made everything in the game including game engine.
The dream
DEATH BY STEREO AAAAUUUUYYYYAAAAHHH
bonus points to whoever gets the deep cut
Bob et Bobette for Game Boy Color. OST by Maniacs of noise https://youtu.be/yg6Ebg2JT8g
soundtrack spot on
KoF 96 and 99. X men Cota. SF3 second impact. You go back to those and the gameplay is hard as balls. Cota is like playin in a honey jar. Kof 96 has 3 characters that bitchslap all the others no problem. 99 I heard the meta has some.outliers but for casuals is like they tried something and nothing at the same time. Second impact came to fix newgen and fix.it did but boy it's crazy to play half the shit goes wonky. All of them where made with low to nonexistent budgets although Second impact has an asterisk since is more like a patch. All teams where small. Music is fire for all of them.
Crash Team Racing music goes so fucking hard
Any OG Pokemon game
Come on Lemmy.
Its been 23 hours since this got posted.
How has Chrono Trigger not already been mentioned?
Because Chrono Trigger's story is more like three bibles stacked. Not a flimsy novella.
I thought that had a good memorable story?
what the fuck are these images supposed to convey this some egyptian hyrogliphic shit wtf
Graphics: See image render quality
Team: Small group of people, probably friends
Story: Reasonable length, linear, like a book
Budget: Probably no real budget, just however much time everybody can put in, so empty wallet
Gameplay: *Sweaty* - old games do tend to be difficult and frustrating
Soundtrack: Actually fire
