Hot damn, I love me some Star Flight!
Crash Bandicoot 2
Quarantine
Amiga:
ZX Spectrum:
Wolfenstein and Hover.
I loved the Harpoon series of naval warfare simulation games. I haven’t played since the late 90s but they were a lot of fun.
Ocarina of time Red Alert .. yeah probably just those two would do me
Lords of the Realm 2, the OG X-Com trilogy, Total Annihilation, Dark Reign, Civ II Test of Time
Chips Challenge for Windows, Sim City 3000, Age of Empires 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 (Technically not pre-2000 because it was released in 2000.)
Boy that is tough. There are a few just after 2000 but I was not doing much in the late nineties. I can't think of anything after xwing series that was not after 2k. Doom2. I honestly cannot remember what I was doing computer game wise in the late 90's.
1995ish, Starfighter 3000 - DOS Windows 95
Janky as fuck by today's standards, but that was my gateway drug into PC gaming.
SSI gold box D&D titles and Dungeon master, though both are better on Amiga
Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator
Fate of Atlantis is pretty good
Myst and Obsidian
Ganja Farmer...

Myth The Fallen Lords and Myth 2 on the Macintosh. This was my favorite multiplayer game I’ve ever played by far.
Other great Mac games from my youth: The Odyssey (1994) by David Larkin Sim City and Sim City 2000 Rogue Sim Ant Prince of Persia The Scarab of Ra Realmz Path Ways into Darkness and Marathon
And my favorites on BBS were Major Mud and Legend of the Red Dragon.
I didn't have a PC, but when I went to friend’s houses I would play the shit out of Doom.
Squarez Deluxe (which is now Freeware!)
It's a thinking man's Tetris and about 100x more rewarding to play
There was this older 90's (I think?) game I loved but I can't figure out the name or find it, despite some googling. You played the part of someone piloting a drone on a space station that had a viral outbreak. The virus alerted the DNA of the victims that the automated security system could no longer identify them as friendlies and so went on a killing spree. You're trying to find video clips from the inhabitants, collecting DNA samples, very point and click adventure with neat animated scenes with FMV. If this rings a bell or if anyone knows it, let me know!
Ore Truck Simulator '96
Infantry. My first online multiplayer game. Somehow I made it into a squad that got 2nd place in the seasonal tournament and also had arguably the best player in the whole game. I didn't play in the matches but I was in the squad!
