I am not really too bothered about clans, feels a bit childish if anything just to encourage competitveness and let's be honest any clan with @slamminbones is going to end up last 😜
 
I would probably be more open to Lee's sort of suggestion, maybe picking some older games and having more, I want to say retro but just games of yesteryear. The likes of older battlefield games or maybe an older halo game, minecraft etc.

This post need's deleting, if you wanted a thread on 2000's games, go and make one instead of hijacking mine!! 😁

I am a big fan of the originals, I just never got round to picking this up.
 
That said if anyone fancies playing it through on co-op I am very much up for that 🙂

Not Super Mario Kart, philly?!! Unless that wasn't 90's I guess?
 
 
Absolutely incredible game. I spent ages even just on the training missions 😄
 
 
The dreamcast version of this was incredible!!! The world map on how they created the campaign was just not like any other fighting game. Another fantastic concept that made a game standout on its own.
 
 
Just couldn't get into these unfortunately! Although @Findmartin was hooked on these if i remember rightly. A game before this was Pandemonium that I really enjoyed that was even more linear than Crash was.
 
 
Snap 😄 I would've said Zelda on the GameBoy but unfortunately I was so shit at the game, I couldn't get far so didn't like it back then! Now, playing it on SNES online, I can now see what the fuss was about!

Looking back we were in a state of transition, moving away from 16 bit graphics to experience our first forray into 3d. A lot of the 3d models were blockish and certainly would not hold up well today, heck it's not often you see someone make a 90s style game but people do keep going back to our 16 bit era.
 
So, are there any games you remember fondly? For me it'ss the obvious final fantasy games, but in addition to that I always remember fighting force. Spending a lot of time on streets of rage when I was younger I suppose this was the sort of game that evolved from them, walking around 3d levels beating the crap out of people.

So we managed to get on this last night, Lee, Tom and once we managed to install the games (the auto downloads did not work for various reasons).
 
Anyway I had a lot of fun with this, it's a very different pace compared to Helldivers, COD etc. I managed to kill Lee with a bomb thinking friendly fire was off, we almost burnt down the ship multiple times, I watched Tom raise the anchor while the ship was in flames all next to him, we also locked Tom in the brig only for him to die and come back as a skeleton (just on my screen apparently).
 
Oh and if your crew mates are drunk definately don't fall off the ship!
 
It runs really smooth and the gameplay is quite simple in all honesty but it was kind of refreshing to play after some of the recent multiplayer games we have been into. There was no pressure to do anything and I think at the end of the session we were just sailing about aimlessly, playing music and just visiting random islands and such. I am quite looking forward to diving back in and unlocking more quests and such.

The new Necromancy skill has also been a bunch of fun to get into, as well as Archaeology which weren’t there when I last played the game.

I loved the mickey games when I was younger. The music is still quite delightful even today 🙂

Would be good to get a couple more on fifa from FG, otherwise the month seem's ok but I find I just add PS plus games to my library these day's and never actually play them.

You can put me in too

I was born in 1990, that's no excuse! 😛
 
A lot of my gaming was gameboy / megadrive to be fair. The gameboy was the first one my parents bought me but I got the mega drive quite young as I was given it by my cousin, he was much older and I think at the age where gaming got left behind a little while he went off chasing girls and such I suspect.

Just looking at my retro collection the last few days, it's quite brilliant when you consider how old some of it is and how well it has lasted.
 
But it got me thinking, will modern consoles last as well? Will we even be able to play half the games in 20-30 years time when they have turned off servers and you can't get the day 1 patch to make a game playable?
 
Are we just going to have a load of doorstops in a few years time?

Very tough choice because the 90's made some huge strides in very little time and the industry kept evolving and innovating massively - imagine going from Doom to Half Life in just 5 years! The gulf between a 2019 game compared to a 2024 one now is almost nothing. 
 
Metal Gear Solid is a very strong shout because it told an incredible story and had some unforgettable gameplay moments. There's also Half Life as mentioned, Resident Evil 2, FF7, Super Mario 64, GoldenEye, Age of Empires 2 and many more. 
 
I'd probably give it to MGS overall as it pushed the PS1 to the max and also exposed Nintendo's mistake in using cartridges as even some of the sound files were bigger than an entire N64 game! Games going from 2D to 3D was big in those days and Mario 64 was also a significant leap. 
 
I really miss huge innovations like that these days. 

So many great games, it's impossible to choose but here's a few mentions:
 
Super Mario World - SNES
Goldeneye - N64
GTA 2 - PC
Age of Empires - PC
Medal of Honour - PlayStation 
 

The 90's you say? Metal Gear Solid. 
It was just so good back then. 

The original crash bandicoot was one of the games that basically cemented me being a future gamer. Was also revolutionary for its time, came out in 1996

Being born in 1993 I didn’t have too much time with video games in the 90’s. That being said, I did have a game boy and a Dreamcast. So I would have to say Pokemon Red/Blue for me, with a shoutout to SoulCalibur too!

I've been doing that for years, I even forget to add some of the good ones as well.
