I closed my eyes and pointed at a random spot. Got Thief twice in a row.
Guess I gotta play it now.
It’s wild to me that not only have I play most of those games, I played them when they came out. It was nice having friends and physical copies of shit.
That’s actually incredible! I remember getting a SNES, then a Dreamcast. Only years later did I get a PS2 which played PS1 games. I never owned a N64 and would play it at friends houses.
I don’t think anybody I knew owned every system
No one I knew owned every system, but we would trade systems and games all the time. I was 16-17 in this era, so my friends and I had cars and jobs and shit, so we traded a lot of stuff around.
A nice thing about gaming today is that it’s gotten so much easier to play all the great games, back then my family had a PC and an N64 and could only sample Playstation games at friend’s houses.
Before looking at the picture I knew Thief would be there. The game itself is great but the level editor and the fan missions really made that game shine. The fan mission “Hush, Hush, Sweet Harlot” was arguably better than the original game story.
The OG trilogy plus the mostly unrelated remake are in a bundle on GOG right now for under $8.

GTA

Grand [sic] Turismo?
It’s on there.
Command & Conquer?
1995
God I can feel that Charizard Pokémon Red cover in my soul.
I got my son the game boy camera and the printer for Xmas this year
How the fuck is Half-Life not on there?
It is
Oh I see it now
A local pawn shop is selling PS1 Spyro the Dragon for $70.
Damn 1998 had hands
The year “pixels actually started to look like something I don’t have to imagine”.
So, I just watched the F1 movie with Brad Pitt, and the mention f2 and f3.
I only just realized, that f zero is likely meant to be the next one after 1, as in the new elite race rank.
That game was so fucking good.
I’ve always been surprised that Nintendo never saw any litigation over pretty much calling their racing game Formula 0
Decades from now when we have Speed Racer type tracks they’ll regret that.
Iirc it’s 0 gravity as well.

Whoops!
In reality, I’d be much more likely to miss by being too to the right, since I’d be aiming for Abe’s Exoddus.

I’m surprised to see Xenogears sitting smack in the middle of all that. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the game, but I’ve never met another person offline who had heard of it. I have tried many, many times to beat many different turn based RPGs. I just simply can’t, I get bored. They’re just menu simulators to me. But Xenogears was the sole exception to that rule in my life thanks to it making you perform combos for your moves. I ripped its music and used it on HTML webpages as a kid. I still have and frequently use my OG beta gmail account, which includes the first name of the main character, Fei.
spyro and crash were my jam back in the day
