Video games changed so much during the 90s. I feel like this describes a single year.

Soundtracks have always been fire though. I still have the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack, Red Alert soundtrack, Sim City 3000, etc in my playlist.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Carmageddon's sound track was made by Fear Factory 🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's Doom.

It's literally a photo of id software devs. You can tell by John Romero's glorious mane.

I still listen to this music when working. Puts me right in the mood

Maybe if the book was eight times taller

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

The book is from the game and actually only has 2 pages in it.

About the majestic soundtrack of Doom: That's why it's still my ringtone.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Megaman 2 for me. Shit was hard but I still listen to the soundtrack

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

MegaMan 2 isn't a 90's game though.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Donkey Kong Country had like. One of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Game was really hard towards the end too. One of my fav games of all time.

Doom could apply here too. ID was very much a small studio of dorks with a limited budget.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Duke 3D, Shadow Warrior, and Blood.

Optimal game dev size.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

I still remember playing the Colin McRae rally demo on PS1 for the first time in 1998 or 1999 and seeing the Impreza WRX get mud splatters on it's sides in real time while drifting through the Scottish highlands. There have been few if any as awe inspiring gaming moments since, maybe the original Gran Turismo replay graphics.

[–] surewhynotlem 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't remember this game much, but the sound track is a banger

This has been Gothic for me, although it missed the 90's mark by just a bit

I never really had sounds in the 90s. Always caused my mom to get headaches. All video games were played on low or no volume.

Any of the Legacy of Kain games

You gotta change that book to encyclopedia size. The amount of shenanigans you can’t explain without going into the other tomfoolery Amy Hennig and the rest of those wacky geniuses came up with…

Ultima Online, for sure. Anyone who says the Minoc theme song isn't banging is drunk and on drugs

Just a picture of Tim follin on the bottom right would have been enough, his music is sole weird voodoo only a Tim filling could pull of.

Come on Lemmy.

Its been 23 hours since this got posted.

How has Chrono Trigger not already been mentioned?

[–] dustyData 20 points 1 week ago

Because Chrono Trigger's story is more like three bibles stacked. Not a flimsy novella.

[–] Iheartcheese 4 points 1 week ago

I thought that had a good memorable story?
