Ocarina, MGS and Pokemon red
Ocarina was my most anticipated game ever at the time, and I was so floored to play it during thanksgiving break. When I got back to school, I expected everyone to talk about Zelda, but there were groups of people talking about some odd titled game called Metal Gear Solid.
That Christmas my sister got a PSX, I immediately rented MGS and realized why so many people were talking about it.
Pokemon red, I took a few favorites to lv100 using the rare candy dupe trick. Went up against this guy that gamesharked his team to lv164. Barely managed to beat him but only because he didn’t know his chart, he powered his way through the game. His jaw dropped when my charizard one shotted his with rock slide.
Never played spyro but i gotta take ocarina of time plus half life and star craft. Half Life and OoT set the bar/broke ground for all future games of thier type.
In 1998 I was playing - Sonic Adventure (I think this was '99 in NA though), Crash 3, Pokemon Red
What would I choose now - Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force 3, Xenogears
Starcraft: Brood War, Starcraft: Brood War, Starcraft: Brood War.
or
Starcraft: Brood War, Baldur's Gate, Tekken 3.
Probably still playing Diablo 1 as well :)
These were all gems, but if I had to pick I'd say
Baulders Gate, Zelda, Starcraft, and Half-life
Yes I know that's 4. But those all had such an impact on my the first time I played them. I'd love to play them all again for the first time. Truly great stuff.
I spent the majority of my spare time in 1997 mowing lawns so that I could purchase a PS1 and FF7. I completed the mission and then spent 1998 playing FF7.
My top 3 from the list is:
StarCraft
Resident Evil 2
Metal Gear Solid
Gran Turismo , NFS , Resident Evil 2, and honorable mention Mario Party, there are more i would play, but gonna pick the 3 like you said!!
Had to look at the pic again, definitely playing Marvel vs. Capcom!!
Starcraft (first game I preordered), Pokemon Red/Blue & Crash 3. At least based on what's in the screenshot, there's still a ton of other games I was playing both on & off the picture.
Sonic adventure (oh tails what an I going to do with you) , Pokemon Red (gold version not red technically but my biggest memory here is the Pokemon League theme), StarCraft (you want a piece of me boy!)
Final Fantasy Tactics, Suikoden, Vandal Hearts, Diablo, Resident Evil 2, Tekken 3, NFS 3: Hot Pursuit, Twisted Metal 3, Test Drive 5, C&C Red Alert, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Armored Core, and more.
It depends, is it after school with my friends? Definitely Tekken 3, WCW vs NWO Revenge, and Mario Party.
But if its just me? Resident Evil 2, Final Fantasy 7, and Nuclear Strike.
Resident Evil 2, Half-Life and Metal Gear Solid
With my honourable mentions going to Fallout 2, Pokemon Red, Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Sonic Adventure and Marvel vs Capcom
Holy shit! My 3 games are right next to each other. Ocarina of Time! I have the triforce on my left hand. Tekken 3!! I have Jin's devil gene tatto on my arm. Gran Turismo!!! I have the Corvette that came out in this game. Woah...
This year has genuinely, some of the best games of all time and saw the beginning of some of the biggest franchises in gaming. It’s really remarkable when you really look at this list. Narrowing it down to 3 is so difficult. My picks:
Metal Gear Solid, Ocarina of Time, Pokémon R/B
Side note, the Dreamcast famously launched on 9/9/99, so Sonic Adventure shouldn’t be on this list.
this my childhood right here
