If you think a game should be higher or lower in ranking, then upvote or downvote it. If you don’t see a game on the list that you think should be on the list then create a top level reply with the name and system.
I am very sad that I’ve scrolled several pages and haven’t seen the obvious one (though I could just be blind):
Deus Ex.
Edit: or perhaps it’s because Deus Ex is from 2000 and I don’t know if it counts yet. Maybe I’ll wait 'til next year!
Perfect Dark, N64
Thief (1998)
Freelancer, PC
Dance Dance Revolution.
(Do you feel old now?)
Suikoden
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Mega Drive
My first game ever… good times
X-COM: UFO Defense
Final Fantasy Tactics

Metal Great Solid
Phantasy Star IV
Pokémon Crystal is just shy of your 25 year threshold depending on what month it was released (it came out in 2000 in Japan), so I’ll say Pokémon Yellow or Pokémon Gold and Silver. We can sit here and nitpick about which is the best, but Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal were all amazing.
Warcraft 2 best Warcraft hands down
Half-Life
Bloody hell, I didn’t realize it’s that old. I played it in high school, feels like yesterday.
Play Black Mesa, you deserve it. Not only it’s Half-Life like you’ve never seen it, but there’s also a completed Xen campaign.
I did, it’s amazing. Also just replayed HL2 with some fancy graphics mod, pretty cool stuff.
Yeah, this is the make us feel old thread.
We’re only a couple months from the launch lineup for the ps2 qualifying here.
My hope is that this becomes a living document that will show up in search engines and make people aware of lemmy and can be reffered to when people ask “what should i play?” Thats why the title says “best” instead of “most popular.” There’s a lot of hidden gems posted already.
