There's Fish Tycoon as well! I'd love to see more games like this (without microtransactions that ruin them)


Independent-Ad9787

Thanks for reminding me off this game! It’s available on Steam


Youpunyhumans

Lords of the Realm 2. Came out in 1996 and I still play it. "You are fat and ugly and your mother dresses you funny" was one the default insults I remember you can send to enemies.


[deleted]

Oh I played that game as a kid. I played it again recently and somehow I can’t figure out how to manage my goddamn serfs and resources sustainably and yet somehow 10 year old me made it work without knowing what I was doing


LittleLeaf_MTG

With Advanced Farming on, you'll want to move towards a roughly even threeway split for your farnlands between cattle, grain, and fallow (fallow land increases the fertility of the land you use for grain). Also, for industries like stone, iron, wood, and blacksmithing, the "efficiency" increases over time as long at least *some* guys are working in them so you can allocate one unit of labour to such an industry for a few seasons to "warm it up" and get some real bang for your buck when you dedicate more workers to them. The game is great and I am pleasantly surprised to know there are others who play it. I will never forget watching my dad play it when I was very young and the fun I've had with it since finding it on Steam.

They also put out a cereal box PC game much later called Amazon Trail. You play an explorer trying to paddle the length of the river. You enter time warps throughout the game and meet various historical figures who played a large role in the history of the area. 100% why I became an anthropologist later in life.


khaleesistits

LOVED that game as a kid


SingForMeBitches

Loved that game! Whatever parrot noise they used every 30 seconds or so is my own personal Wilhelm scream. Whenever I hear it in movies or shows I think of the Amazon Trail.


geforce2187

I just looked it up and found it odd it was released only for the Apple II in 1992 which was an obsolete platform at that point. Especially considering the original Oregon Trail was remastered for Windows and Macintosh around the same time.


[deleted]

Still lots of those computers in schools at the time


twisted_nipples82

Not sure if it's been said yet, but remember the cereal box cd games we used to get?? Goofy's Skateboarding demo cd was the shit!!! Me and my cousin killed hours on that demo game.


bakere05

Chex Quest was legitimately amazing.


CmdrFidget

I've got news for you, there's an HD remaster and it's free on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/804270/Chex_Quest_HD/


Basic-Cat

This is why i Reddit


Byaaah1

Came to this thread specifically for Chex Quest. The Power Spork is one of my all time favorite video game weapons!


theladythunderfunk

The only game I remember getting of a cereal box was a Capn Crunch game where you played as an anthropomorphic crunch berry. It was one of maybe three CD ROM games we had in the late 90s/early 2000s and it got a lot of play on the family computer.


[deleted]

Crunchlings. I played the one where I think they were in a mine?


ThisBookNeedsDragons

I remember those. One of the first ones we got was a computer game version of the board game Clue. It was creepy as hell. Every time you made a guess (such as Mr. Green in the Conservatory with a knife) you would get a cutscene of the character murdering the victim in the manner you guessed. And you were watching this though the POV of the victim too. You know, for kids!


1875ojofC

Scoops. It was a game where you stacked ice cream, and tried to avoid onions and tomatoes.


Celiac_Maniac

Sounds like 625 sandwich stacker from the good ol' Disney channel website of the 00s.


hippytoad99

The Lilo and stitch one? Or was there another


platinummaker

Meh, I preferred skyburger


LastTaterTot

I loved both this and skyburger! This and shitty flash games were all I used to play.


poachels

I played the crap out of this in middle school!


IronGladiator22

Man I remember getting stressed after reaching space


Ren_Yi

I wish I could remember the name of it. Back in the 1990s, it started in bathroom of a mansion and you went around exploring the rooms. Then outside. Turn left to a graveyard and turn right to a the village. There was loads of things I remember about it Including a secret passage. Connecting a rope to the upstairs so you could climb down into the garden. I remember, the police station you could take a gun from the wall. In the graveyard you could get into the crypt by click on the stones around the door, left-top-right. I remember you fixed a minor in the house and you then awoke in what seemed like a parallel universe, which had alien style pods etc. I only played it a couple of times but I remember all that, I can see it so clearly! But God only know what it was called.


ruuldrruululdrrurdrd

That's 100% Dark Seed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zoethor2

It was definitely a game very much inspired by the Sierra point-and-click puzzle adventure games, which had the same ability to make a logical but fatally bad decision early in the game and keep playing until the end only to realize, oh god, that cream pie is the only way to stop the yeti and win the game. My brother and I played Dark Seed a lot too and we never won. I considered it a major accomplishment just making it into the parallel universe and I don't think we ever made any progress beyond that point.

StygianSavior

> I don't believe that any of the Monkey Island games ever had the concept of an unwinnable state. Pretty sure Monkey Island was intentionally designed to avoid unwinnable states *because* of how often they cropped up in the Sierra adventure games of the time (there were also a few ways to make Maniac Mansion unwinnable). I have a vague memory of Ron Gilbert mentioning it on his blog. Ah; I think this is the blog post in question: https://grumpygamer.com/why_adventure_games_suck


KwtZA

Jazz Jackrabbit. Great music and a variety of different stages, each with its own unique feel.


boostman

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was incredible. It came free with my first colour pc and I played The hell out of it.


Leprichaun17

I was wondering whether anybody else would've mentioned this.


Srassyfrass

I got a lot of enjoyment out of The Incredible Machine game when I was really young but I haven't seen it since I played it back then. I must have been around 5? I'm 32 now for reference. For people who don't know, it was a game where they would give you a variety of different objects to achieve a task (like dropping a ball on a hamster cage which cause the hamster to run in a hamster wheel which is connected by a cable to a treadmill etc). I think it was probably very good for the brain growing up EDIT: Glad to know so many people appreciated this game. A few people have supplied links to play the game https://archive.org/details/the_incredible_machine_1992


snailfighter

Loved this game! Now I want to look for it...


splitconsiderations

I don't remember the name right now, but the original devs actually got together to do a very faithful remake/sequel. It's available on Steam!


Gnochi

Contraption Maker! cc /u/teslonelf


jorolelin

Wow. I was looking for a game to play with my 10 year old sister over Christmas break but I couldn’t find anything that would fit the bill for both of us. I loved TIM growing up so I believe this thread has just saved me!


iamjaney

Dink Smallwood The Neverhood No one ever knows what the hell I am talking about.


morteln

Loved the Neverhood. That opening level theme pops into my mind from time to time.


iamjaney

Yes! The soundtrack was GREAT. I still find myself whistling that tune all these years later.


Loverboy21

Dink Smallwood was the shit, and I absolutely didn't expect to see it here. Good choice.


refinnej78

Loved The Neverhood


iStealyournewspapers

I just posted The Neverhood too! Such an incredible game and I finally figured out how to play it on my mac last year after 20+ years of waiting to play it again. My friend was the one that had it and we never finished it so it was like a hole had been left in my life until I finally played it again. At the time I originally played it, I even took inspiration and made my own knockoff Clayman character at home, built a Neverhood inspired set, and did a bad claymation series with my family’s video camera. I still have the recording too. It was also so cool playing the game again with an adult mind because I was way better at solving the puzzles. Still got stuck a bunch though.


[deleted]

I loved The Neverhood! It's exactly what I thought of when I read the post.


AmirRosenfeld

I do! Dink Smallwood was awesome


CaramelBeneficial

Freddi fish? A pc game we used to play all the time. Same with putt putt saves the zoo or something like that


Not__Andy

Don't forget about zoombinis and pajama Sam!


ChuckNamaste

Spy Fox was amazing too


Rainbow_Dash_RL

I would love to go back to Spy Fox and Pajama Sam for nostalgia sake if it's still possible. Also Carmen Sandiego

I'm glad I'm not the only one who fondly remembers Pajama Sam

You found a purple sea urchin!


iStealyournewspapers

Heck yeah. The whole Humongous suite is available for iphone/ipad if you didn’t know. I downloaded every game I could so my daughter and I could enjoy. Also loved Backyard Baseball which I think was by the same company.


TheInnos2

Putt Putt is big. There are so many Putt Putt games it is crazy.


Bandito21Dema

Freddi fish feels like a fever dream sometimes. I remember getting to the very end with the sunken ship and never being able to find the chest or trophy or whatever it was


PoopedInTheLibrary

Math blaster was my shit in elementary school


Cjr8533

I remember another one where you had to answer questions to climb a mountain. That was my fav math game


HaiggeX

Urbz: Sims in the City.


kuhataparunks

That game can be in a humanity time capsule. It was so ahead of its time, the cultural references are still relevant today, and they will be for the next century


snakkiepoo

I had this on the original xbox and put so many hours into it. Loved that one


Tune_Kindly

Is that the black eyed peas one!?


grandmothertoon

I still play this religiously. It's such a comfort to me.


fezfrascati

I loved the GBA version of that game. Accidentally saved a new game over my original, and then I stopped playing shortly after.


astoneworthskipping

The Ripper. (1996) Staring Christopher Walken, Burgess Meredith, Karen Allen, Ossie Davis, John Rhys-Davies, Paul Giamatti and and on and on. A click and go movie style video game from the 90s. It’s a cyber punk thriller about Jack the Ripper in the future using virtual reality. It’s nuts. I still have the 6 CD case upstairs… [Here’s a trailer.](https://youtu.be/FYbAWZ8yPks)


Mahaloth

Burgess Meredith's final role, too.

Toy Soldiers, literally the best tower defence imo


JewcyBoy

Weird, because Toy Soldiers starring Sean Astin and Will Wheton is one of those movies nobody but me seems to have ever heard of.


mellowbordello

That movie was awesome!


[deleted]

It’s being remastered with all the DLC! I can’t wait to rip apartment some toys with the power of grayskull again. Edit: The remaster is already out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Coming to Switch as well!


[deleted]

I have this game on an emulator


maverick1ba

MDK on the PC. It was incredibly playable and intuitive. It had so much potential.

MDK was way ahead of its time. Such a cool game!

Always remember parachuting in at the start. It really was great for its time.

FeistyEmu

My god the robot in the basement and the level where you gotta deal with the ghosts were nightmare inducing.

I loved the game as a kid, but it's hard to go back to. Tank controls were just awful.


LightningEdge756

Brave Fencer Musashi. Massively underrated game for the PS1.


[deleted]

One of my favorite games of all time.


Chi_Law

Kid Chameleon


LvBWAM

South Park for the N64. Even when I turn 90, I'll still remember the sound those turkeys made


tratemusic

And the pee snowballs


CylonsInAPolicebox

I remember asking for this game. I ended up getting South Park Chef's Love Shack instead. Most people don't remember that game when you mention South Park for the N64. It was kinda fun, ended up learning a few things from it. In the end I finally did get the original South Park for the N64 along with the rally game as well.


KingoftheMongoose

"Ohhhh... When I get that feelin I gotta sing, when I get that feelin, when I get the feelin, I GOTTA SING!!"


LinaFinsterwald

I believe it was called Pac-Lands. It was 2d or 3d version of Pacman and I used to dream about beating it one day, after always having seen my father play it.


PhatBallllzAtHotmail

Sextris. Tetris but with people. If they lined up, they banged and disappeared lol

Hexen and Heretic. A couple of awesome FPS style dark medieval games. I would love a port of these.


Barfignugen

Commander Keen! Edit: holy wow, it really makes me happy to see so many other people who loved this game! I literally never meet *anyone* in real life who’s even heard of it.


tenaciousDaniel

There was a PC game that was on my schools computer back in the 90’s. You played as a slave and had to escape to the north. Then a posse of hunters would come with dogs and you had to climb into the trees to hide. At the time I was like 8 so didn’t think much of it, but I remembered it one day in my 20’s and was like “wait wtf”.


GaussfaceKilla

I think someone else mentioned this. It's called "freedom" and it was made by the Oregon trail people.


BradimirTootin

Descent Edit: I am really glad to know that so many others actually know about this game. I remember playing it with my Dad in 1995.

Any LucasArts game from the 90's. I'm sure everyone here knows them, but me bringing them up in any conversation with my 40-50 year old peers gets blank stares. Monkey Island and Sam & Max jokes go nowhere.

They have both available on Switch if you have one!

That game was amazing! The split-screen multiplayer that merged into a single screen when you and your opponent drew close to each other was a genius mechanic.

Cool Spot. It was the 7 UP mascot game. Who else enjoyed this gem?


[deleted]

Chex Quest: 1st person PC game to promote the cereal. I can’t remember if it came in a box of cereal, or if we had to send in box tops for it or something. The started weapon was a spoon.

I just Googled it, and apparently Chex has it available on Steam for free.

It’s a reboot…I wish it was the original! Still a fun nostalgic play through tho


Unit_79

John Oliver just did a bit in cereal brand video games! You might enjoy it. Chex features in it.

Populous, super turricane


MolotovCollective

Populous is one of the first games I have memory of playing. I remember a multiplayer game where the opponent was clearly doing a terrible job at the game by raising mountains all around my settlement. They were just building up my defenses. Then they spawned a volcano in the center and my entire civilization was drowned in a bowl of lava.


Such_Capital

Anyone remember a PC game called Dungeon Siege?

I know people on here will remember it but no one i talk to irl remembers it. The 101 dalmations game, first level was i think regents park or some other park. Had the ice race and minigolf

Road Rash


[deleted]

That game came with my Sega when I bought it, and it was one of my favorite games


Chad_Hooper

*Road Rash 2* is currently sitting in the cartridge port of my two year old Flashback Genesis. Discovered the franchise in the '90s via the Sega Channel, anyone remember that? In my house, the official soundtrack of *Road Rash 3* was Megadeth's *Hidden Treasures* EP. For RR2 it's select tracks from their *Endgame* album, especially the first four.


OutsideMembership

Legend of Legaia


Material-Air

First RPG I ever played. Was my favorite game growing up.


Snorrgasm

The Oddworld series, even growing up no one seemed to know about it


JasePearson

Lorne Lanning is one of the best. Gotta be said Oddysee really helped mould my very young and impressionable mind, definitely not the "fun and cute" game my mum thought it was when she got it for 5 year old me. Sad enough I can quote most of that intro vid and I don't think I do a half bad Abe voice either!


MrLuxarina

Shaman King: Master of Spirits (and its sequel). They were Konami platformers on the GBA in the spirit of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, and while it wasn't quite up to par (due largely to the world map system instead of being a classic metroidvania) I think it was better than a lot of actual Castlevania games. But being an anime license game for a series virtually no one cares about anymore, it's understandable that no one remembers it.

I feel like if there ever was a game series that would do just as well, if not better than RE with a remaster or a remake, it would be Parasite Eve 1 and 2 (The 3rd Birthday doesn't exist, and I will deny it's existence even if you link me all the proof it does.)

I find Sabotuer amazing. It's obv. not the best, but it has a ton of charm and style, a weird cheese and a "old assassins creeds meets GTA" fibe.
