Any OG Pokemon game

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

Any of the Legacy of Kain games

The dream

The face even looks like a Deus Ex NPC.

KoF 96 and 99. X men Cota. SF3 second impact. You go back to those and the gameplay is hard as balls. Cota is like playin in a honey jar. Kof 96 has 3 characters that bitchslap all the others no problem. 99 I heard the meta has some.outliers but for casuals is like they tried something and nothing at the same time. Second impact came to fix newgen and fix.it did but boy it's crazy to play half the shit goes wonky. All of them where made with low to nonexistent budgets although Second impact has an asterisk since is more like a patch. All teams where small. Music is fire for all of them.

I am not sure about the budget portion for GameFreak during the release of Pokemon Colosseum as Nintendo was reworking the pay structure and their work with GameFreak around that time.

Colesseum though, I just played it for the first time ever and my god it is hardest and most tedious of the entire series and the music is killer. The underlying narrative and lore is interesting when you start adding XD Gale or Darkness into the mix as well.

ah yes, the touhou games I still haven't completed a single one without retries

Secret of Mana would fit everything but the graphics. Those graphics were fire when they came out.

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

what the fuck are these images supposed to convey this some egyptian hyrogliphic shit wtf
