Red Alert 2.

I’ve gone four hours without mentioning it

[-] CaptainS7ark@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

By far my favorite game of all time. 11/10

[-] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah! There are dozens of us! No game has topped it for me

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Maybe if the book was eight times taller

[-] jonathan@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

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

The snowboarding level, and the carnival stage.

[-] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Lol which one, there's like a dozen of each of those themes!

That's the best thing about them!

Miss them so much

[-] Xenny@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Nobuo Uematsu carried hard with his music. Squeenix hasn't been the same since he left the company

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

[-] Chefdano3@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

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

[-] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 month 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.

[-] mrslt@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Populous: The Beginning

~~Black and White~~

Warcraft 1 & 2

Monkey Island 1-3

I could go on.

Optimal game dev size.

[-] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 month 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.

[-] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

Star Control 2

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

Any of the Legacy of Kain games

[-] xkbx@startrek.website 7 points 1 month ago

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…

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.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

You poor bastard.

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

[-] dinckelman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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

The face even looks like a Deus Ex NPC.

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

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.
Bro went fire on everything, like pictionary; https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=SJwh3erQlyE

[-] Pirky@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

For me it'd be Driver 1 and 2 followed by Lost World: Jurassic Park for the PS1.
The beat for Driver 1's San Francisco theme just slaps
