Unreal
- Epic MegaGames & Digital Extremes
(3D shooter)You MUST have done this. The game is a whole
experience which you won't soon forget. With nice graphics and cool
music it's unforgettable. Multiplayer too. |

Starcraft
- Blizzard Entertainment (RTS)
A perfect RTS game. You've got three races here, each
with its own units and buildings, but they're all like equally
powerful, but still different. This is the most important aspect
of a good strategy game. For the rest; sounds are okay, graphics are
great. Singleplayer missions are cool, but the best part is
multiplay! Even now (2001AD) I still play it regularly over
my LAN (it's very playable on a P133 so most computers can
join.) |

Grand
Theft Auto - BMG (arcade racer / adventure / whathever)
Not so much for it's graphics, but the game itself is just
amazing. 100% free actions in huge cities. You can do anything you
want, get chased by the police all across the city. Together with
good drivin' music. Will keep you occupied for quite some time! |
| 1996 |
 |
Diablo
- Blizzard North (RPG)
Great storyline, great game, great graphics, and lots of
options (really a lot of weapons, modifiers, magic,
enemies...)

Quake

most popular games ever. |

Wacky Wheels - Beavis-Soft &

Maintain your colonies, build your own ships, research new

Wolfenstein 3-D - ID Software
(3D-shooter)One of the first 3D shooters. Kill nazis and,
finally, Hitler. COOL game! Actually too violent for me at that
age ;) |

Brix - Epic MegaGames/M.Riedel
(puzzle)Put two or more of the same bricks next to
each other to make them disappear. That's the only rule,
but of course the game itself is really hard. Also
features numerous special things like sinking sand, lava,
lifts, teleporters... |

with over 100 cool levels, and neat features like walking scissors.

Lemmings - Psygnosis
(puzzle / platform)Who doesn't know these green
little men which you have to guide to the exit.
We all build our hate/love-relationship with these guys. They are so
dumb (just walkin' and stuff), but if they die it's your fault!
Aaaargh!! |
| 1990 |

A text-based adventure which required real
good thinking (or a walk-through). |
| 1989 |
 |
Tunnels of Armageddon - LDW (arcade)
One of the first 3-D games? Anyways, you fly though a big
tunnel at very high speed, and have to evade (moving) walls, shoot
enemies, and get to the end in (very limited) time. |
| 1988 |

Hyper Rally (MSX) - Konami (arcade racer)
A simple racer where you just evade the other cars. One of the
very few games I had on tape for my MSX-1. |
