I don't think I can choose between games like Alpha Centauri, Marathon, Chrono Trigger, Homeworld, Quake, Counter-Strike (I played the beta in '99, does that count?), not to mention King of Fighters '98, Half-Life, Star Craft... wow it really was the golden era of gaming wasn't it?

Tekken 3. Late 90s but I spent HUNDREDS of hours playing it.

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

Can’t pick a favorite. But I will say the one I return to the most often is Super Metroid

There are so many... Here are some that I probably spent the most time with:

• Master of Orion
• XCom (the original)
• unreal tournament
• Elder Scrolls Daggerfall
• Falcon 3.0
• Mechwarrior 2

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

There were a lot of games released in the 90s. It would take 2-3 per genre to start getting close.

Picking just one single game... I guess I'll go with Fallout 2

Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.

It's impossible to pick just one (even when talking specific genres)

But when it comes to fighting games, Marvel vs. Capcom and KOF '97 where among the best.

Star fox 64

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!

• 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)

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.
