I liked the Marathon series for Mac and the Twisted Metal series for PS.

Subspace - Meet people from all over the world, and then kill them.

One of the first online multiplayer games. It has a very long skill curve, and a ton of variety in game types.

It's still alive in Steam as Continuum!

Shattered Galaxy, it marketed itself as an mmorpgrts. The depth of gameplay was fantastic. While the graphics look a little dated, I would still play it if there was any server population left.

Seven kingdoms

The Secret of Monkey Island Super Metroid Yoshi's Island

Syndicate and Wing Commander Privateer

I loved the game Tomba! 2 The Evil Swine Return, it was creative, intricate, and very far ahead of its time, I would love to see the series get a reboot or a remaster

Rebel Assault

Simant

Sonic Adventure.

If 1998 in Japan and 1999 everywhere else is too close to the '00s (and in the context of what SA1 meant for the Sonic franchise I wouldn't blame you,) Sonic CD.

I don't really know what to pick so I'm going to go with something kind of obscure, "The Adventures of Bouapha: Spooky Castle". The gameplay is a little hard to explain but it kind of plays like Zelda but you can pickup upgrades for your main weapon that allows it to be thrown in many directions and it has sub-weapons that can either be found or dropped by enemies and they have limited ammo.

I actually forgot this game existed until itch recommended me "Hamsandwich", which is a free and open-source collection of updated versions of a bunch of old Hamumu Software games. There are mods available for specific games and it's available for Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android and any other OS/device that can play the online version.

Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.

Technically 2000, but Sacrifice. It's still one of the most unique games I've ever played, and is my top wish for a remake/remaster.

It's a hybrid action RPG and RTS, which isn't completely unheard of, but even in its niche genre it's unlike anything else. You play a wizard with a range of both spells and summonable units, which can be ordered around to a limited degree, or more commonly used as a personal escort. Both the units and your own spells are very creative, and the higher level ones can be ridiculously powerful. In a glorious early celebration of terrain deformation, many of the high level spells will create volcanoes, mountains, craters, or even gaping voids in the already surreal landscapes. The story mode is also very weird and funny, with some top level voice actors.

Sid Meier's Colonisation, my 10 year old laptop that I replaced last year only had enough power to play that game and I put so many hours into it when I didn't have access to my main pc. It's just a shame that my new laptop doesn't upscale dosbox the same way my old one did but I think that's just because of the differences between MacOS and Windows.

(Edit: wrote the wrong game series somehow)

So many amazing games to choose from such as all the D&D based ones, Morrowind, the SimCity ones and the Championship Manager games, but my absolute favorite was Fallout 2 for sure!

• Half-life
• the Doom games
• the Quake games
• Shogo
• POD
• Outlaws
• Soldier of Fortune (it was released in 2000 tho but it's almost the 90's lol)

Flashback. There's something cinematographic in that old Delphine gem.
