Absolutely! Something about the lower quality sound, the effects and the graphics really did give an 'atmosphere'. Modern realistic games, just don't seem to have that for some reason. Watching Rise of The Triad here in this list, it wasn't the greatest game of all time, but the atmosphere was definitely huge and creepy. Command and Conquer - one of my all time favourite games of all time. I'd never seen anything like it - even the INSTALLATION of the game was amazing. Full voice and animation from a CD. You simply can't imagine never seeing anything like that before. I went from ZX Spectrum cassette games, to Atari ST and then to PC with CD-ROM. It was the biggest leap in audio, graphics and game size ever. Ahh man, people take it all for granted these days. But moving one day from MIDI sound to CD quality audio and sound effects and actual video. I really did blow my tiny mind.
What a fascinating trip down memory lane. In the 90s, I was ages 9 to 19, and these were my most formative gaming years. I played lots on console, but I also played so many of these games on PC, and I TREASURE those experiences! Yes, there was some crossover, but what I loved about PC gaming then was just how diverse and separate it was from console gaming. It really WAS like a different gaming world. Today, the two very much coexist but also coincide with each other, with most of the same games being available on console and PC. But back then, it was a much more varied and oftentimes fresh and/or deeper experience overall. Thanks for putting this together.
No DLC's, no Microtransactions, no Surprise Mechanics (FU EA). When you bought a game, you got the whole bloody game. Those were the days, my friendds.
@@MinneappleTwinkies Oh yes. I still remember I bought this JP Trespassers and my system wasn't able to render those graphics back then, so i took it to my friends place to play. Game was crap btw. The Original Mortal Kombat when arrived on PC, needed 4MB of machine RAM. We had 2MB that time. My bro bought 2MB more and told me to play games then. I quickly bought MK (arcade) and a few. Ran excellent. All you need to do was to upgrade Ram chips mostly. A game on 4/5 1.44HD disks lol. Verbatim branded double density 5.4m diskettes. Bad Command or filename. Dreaded General failure reading disk drive. What an amazing Era. 🙂 *edit: JP Trespassers had a beautiful box art and with that lovely JP logo. 😁 I used to look at those cases since my PC was unable to get it run well.
There was plenty of DLC and Expansion Packs since the 80's ... The difference is that you weren't ripped off and most of the time you could get them free just by subscribing to a PC gaming magazine
What I loved most about games from the 90's was this eery atmosphere. It felt so much more immersive than today's games (might be that I felt it differently as a kid). Also considering, that the pixelart was truly masterful - nothing more than true artist paintings! Love it!
It's so true. The games felt "different" than reality, so turning the game one was an adventure. Just looking at Tomb Raider for 5 seconds gave me the very same feeling as when I was a kid. You had no idea what's behind the next corner and what's gonna happen...
I Totally agree..I am 48 years old, and I grew up with the best in videogames..The days of gaming on 486 and pentium-based machines were magical..Those games were so advanced when compared to what else was out there at that time..My friends were always the Nintendo and Sega guys, and while I loved all of those consoles, the big box PC games at that time held such a special place in my heart..They always joked with me as being the nerd for that, but I didn't care at all. I was so into those games..The stories with those games surpassed anything else...The only problem was trying to get many of those games to run on the PCs I had then..I am strictly a console gamer nowadays, only because I can't afford a good gaming PC these days...So much has changed, and i miss it so much..All the Sierra on-line games and lucasfilm games, as well as the original fallout games and Crusader: No Remorse were so amazing...I would give anything to be able to go back and have all those games again, but there is no easy way to get those games anymore..Such a special time in Gaming..The younger generation nowadays are just used to all the amazing graphics out there now, and just take the technology for granted, and that's why we no longer have those feelings we had then..As great as games look nowadays, I can do without the majority of them, just because it's mainly nothing but mindless shooters that have taken over..Go back to games like Blade Runner, Darkseed 1 & 2, Phantasmagoria, Gabriel Knight, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, King's Quest, Interstate '76, and so many more..Those were the magical times..
The 90s felt so real and so much more mysterious. It does not feel like a long time ago. But everything had a realness to it. Even gaming. It made you want to explore the world.
A lot of omissions but not having MYST in there is probably the most glaring. That game was inescapable in the mid 90’s and helped move CD-ROMs more than any other piece of software.
I played Duke Nukem 3D thought my entire year in highschool computer programming class. That and talking on 'The Park' a social networking chat site. We used to lead the pedophiles on then tell them off after waisting their time for an hour.
You live in an age when you can play all the 90's games you want, plus get access to more games than you'll ever have time for. And the diversity? Man, you can enjoy the narrative depth of Disco Elysium, the emotional depth of the likes of Firewatch or Life is strange, old-school titles but made better like Cuphead, The Binding of Isaac, Hollow Knight or whatever suits you. The intricate puzzle boxes that the recent Hitman games constitue. The weird cinematic experience of Hellblade, etc. Games that are a complexe artistic experience like The independent scene makes the age we live in right now the true golden of video gaming, period. Heck, even many AAA releases are good these last years... Doom, Resident Evil 2 remake... Fuck that "those were the days" mentality.
Cool memories! 😁 I really appreciate it that you included a lot of games that are not constantly hailed as the "top games", because in many media you virtually hear only about the same ~10 titles that had "the most influence" over and over again, but there were so many great games that also deserve remembering.
can u tell me the name of the game from 2002/03 probably where a little guy in red would gon on a diamond collection adventure, the diamonds would be placed on top of some square bricks. I've been searching the game but can't remember the name.
That reminds me when I used to go to bed at 9 p.m, in order to play to Carmageddon or Doom secretly at 5 a.m, before going to elementary school 😂 My mother would never let me play this kind of violent games...😅
I did the same thing but for Starcraft. it wasn't the violence but more that I used my parents work computer which was insanely faster than mine and I wasn't supposed to ever touch it.
It's crazy to see these run so well... in the 1990s I had a 486 with 8mb of ram, and then I went big time with a Riva TNT 16mb graphics card on an overclocked Celeron 300A . I've never seen some of these games run so smoothly.
Crazy we can still remember what we had huh? I also had a gateway 2000 back then, a p5-133. 133 mhz processor, 16 mb of ram, 2 gb hard drive, 56k modem, sound blaster sound card, unfortunately I don't remember the graphics card. Ran C&C like a beast, but took 4 hours to download a 18 mb demo of simcopter.
@@Ravynwulf1 I was born in 2005 but I love older games and i install them on my modern computer ofc they run smoothly, but for the best experience use source ports of the games, made by fans, I'm playing duke nukem 3d, doom 1, 2, 3 and 64 as well as star wars dark forces in 4k
Played the demo for a lot of them, bought a lot of them on GOG.com too. Will probably buy some of the ones I haven't on GOG/Steam at some point in the future. Or at least try the demo's of ones that have demo's that I haven't played.
A great list. The only thing I would have added was MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat. It was a great game that pushed 3D boundaries in '95 and was fun and sold well to boot too.
I have a wonderful flashbacks watching this video. It's Very nostalgic stuff. Good work, thank You VGL! Much appreciate bro! I greet all who remeber those games.
The first game, "Another World", is the European name, in US is "Out of this World" you can see all the official covers here www.mobygames.com/game/out-of-this-world ... www.mobygames.com/game/snes/out-of-this-world/cover-art/gameCoverId,68422/ ... www.mobygames.com/game/genesis/out-of-this-world/cover-art/gameCoverId,75935/
I remember thinking back in the day, I couldn't wait to see what the future would be like. Now, the only thing I would want, is to go back. Thank you so much for this so video! It was one hell of a therapeutic session 🤩
I was only 8 when Starcraft came out, now after watching this video, you can tell Starcraft was a head of its time, especially compared to everything else that was out. And damn, good ole Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, my grandpa had this game and I remember always wanting to stay with my grandparents because I knew id get an hour on the computer, to play it, along with a few others I can't remember and didn't see in this vid, but nonetheless AWESOME VIDEO. What a memory, thanks for bringing it alllll back
Somehow many of these games seem more atmospheric and darker than many games today. I can't tell if it's because I grew up with some of these games (nostalgia), or if it's really the effort that they devs at the time had to put to make them immersive given the limitations.
I agree, they where darker and certainly more immersive, even the mortal kombat game Round 1 fight narration had conviction. Now they're all comical and don't fit the bill as the old ones do.
You forgot Loom, Hellcab, Who Shot Johnny Rock, Dune II, Blood Money, Duck Tales, Sim City II, great video though! Didn't realize we had that money games in the 90s.
Going from the titles in 1990 to the likes of Descent in just 5 years is incredible. Change is much more incremental these days, games from 2013 can often still hold up well to games from 2022.
That because there were more developers back then, Since then they have been bought up by various corporations who refuse to take risks and won't allow internal competition......It's much harder to innovate when the bottom line is the sole objective. The reliance of a few game engines has also made games have a "Samey" familiarity to them.
I played almost all of these games when I was a kid, because PC gaming was what got me into gaming in the first place. A lot of good memories here... hell, even messing around with dos to get the games to work in the first place was half the fun.
Elite 2, 3. Any of XCOM/UFO games, Wing Commander. Warhammer SOTHR or Dark Omen. Among RTS I don’t see Dune 2!!! Also, Dark Colony, Outpost 2. Also, Master of Magic, Master of Orion, Civilisation. Star Control 2 !!! 90s had way too many awesome games.
@@pelimies1818 Another difference is that games were designed by people who were inspired by things other than videogames. So even modern Indie games are not comparable. They may have none of Executive BS, but devs are inspired mostly by games. Game inspired by a game and game inspired by something that is not a game... Heck, even game design today is somewhat samey, though it's called "Quality of Life Features". Back then... even games in same genre could play like completely different genre.
But EA would go on to buy many of these companies that made these games, and they had such a good reputation. Look at all the improvements they made to these games. /sarcasm
So much good stuff. Special shoutout to the amazing games that never seem to get enough love, like Gobliins 2, SiN, Stunts, The Incredible Machine... But were included here which is epic.
SiN wasn’t a really good game though.. Omitting Q2 to include SiN? Still, most of the included games are really great. There’s at least 200 more that deserve inclusion just as much.
Stunts is one of my favourite car games EVER. It was one of the first racing games I ever played, right there with Test Drive 3, Accolade Grand Prix, Pole Position, Outrun, Mario Andretti's Racing or NES's Road Fighter.
It is worth noting that these games looked a lot better in a CTR monitor, they looked smooth and glorious, those are some great memories, thanks for it!
Consoles ruled the 2D platformers, and 1 on 1 fighting games after the Amiga could no longer complete. Playing what existed of them on PC's meant calibrating joysticks, praying your sound card would support it, and that VGA/SVGA graphics sucked, they were much better suited to Adventure Games and later FPS due to their speed.
Was a little difficultier than today without TH-cam to know all the interesting stuff. Early 90s wasn't really my pc time and most of the time my I go came from the boxes at the shop or videos from TV.
Thanks a lot for gathering all these old games, it really does help people like me who can vaguely remember anything besides images, sounds or gameplay
This is a real trip back in time, I started playing video games in 1995 on the Megadrive with Sonic 2 and played some of those timeless classics. Amazing thank you
Some sub-genres (horror adventures) are over-represented here (but still some are missed. Bioforge, Time Gates, Ecstatica..) But yes, a lot more point and click games existed than shown. For example, Rise of the Dragon, Kyrandia..
Indeed, was just looking at the phantasmagoria footage at 7:05 , it seems a really intersting way they managed to render the girl into the game, i wonder why they didnt develop that further going into modern tech/games.

THANK you for not using crappy background music and bringing us the original sound instead.
A true hero.
that is how it is supposed to be.
it seems that real graphics engines were used too. But.. Quake was able tu run at 3Dfx as Turok ;)
Your definition of hero needs recalibrating
This isn't the original graphics or sounds. Most of these aren't pc versions as they aren't purple. Pc games in the early 90s where awful.

Technology advanced very quick back then.
It's amazing how fast the tech progressed in the 90s. A PC became out of date after just two years.

The first game, "Another World", is the European name, in US is "Out of this World" you can see all the official covers here www.mobygames.com/game/out-of-this-world ... www.mobygames.com/game/snes/out-of-this-world/cover-art/gameCoverId,68422/ ... www.mobygames.com/game/genesis/out-of-this-world/cover-art/gameCoverId,75935/
Flight of the Amazon Queen (1995), 'been looking for it for 20 fakkin years! Thanks a lot for finding it, man!
C'est Francais Monsieur ! lol
@rohit gautam Sure, with RetroArch
@rohit gautam A 3D Game, FPS?
@rohit gautam Ok sorry i don't know this generation of machine, only NES & after
14:23 what a relief. Twisen's Odyssey is the best game I have ever played.
Special mention to MDK. Way ahead of its time.
Hell yeah! I think that even the graphics still hold.
Me too!
I remember thinking back in the day, I couldn't wait to see what the future would be like. Now, the only thing I would want, is to go back. Thank you so much for this so video! It was one hell of a therapeutic session 🤩
I was only 8 when Starcraft came out, now after watching this video, you can tell Starcraft was a head of its time, especially compared to everything else that was out. And damn, good ole Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, my grandpa had this game and I remember always wanting to stay with my grandparents because I knew id get an hour on the computer, to play it, along with a few others I can't remember and didn't see in this vid, but nonetheless AWESOME VIDEO. What a memory, thanks for bringing it alllll back
OMG the nostalgia this video elicits in me is overpowering.
Games in 90s had so much depth than today's games.
I really miss Lucas arts
"100 pc games from your childhood"
That's the original title
No, It is not
I wasn’t a child then. Was in my twenties.Well maybe I was a child
Not mine :c
Favorite era ever! And this is just PC.
Finished 90% of the games here...amazing list!
Somehow many of these games seem more atmospheric and darker than many games today. I can't tell if it's because I grew up with some of these games (nostalgia), or if it's really the effort that they devs at the time had to put to make them immersive given the limitations.
I agree, they where darker and certainly more immersive, even the mortal kombat game Round 1 fight narration had conviction. Now they're all comical and don't fit the bill as the old ones do.
Oh god, I just got a massive flashback from claw, the time I didn't knew english and had hard time understanding the game
I love how you can see the progression in hardware
The 7th Guest was so epic. The graphics, the music, the real people digitally overlayed. Way ahead of its time.
I was so blown away by the graphics back then it was like ground breaking to me 🤣
Maaan look how far we've come! Much respect to these classic games, they paved the way for the future!
You forgot Loom, Hellcab, Who Shot Johnny Rock, Dune II, Blood Money, Duck Tales, Sim City II, great video though! Didn't realize we had that money games in the 90s.
Going from the titles in 1990 to the likes of Descent in just 5 years is incredible. Change is much more incremental these days, games from 2013 can often still hold up well to games from 2022.
That because there were more developers back then, Since then they have been bought up by various corporations who refuse to take risks and won't allow internal competition......It's much harder to innovate when the bottom line is the sole objective.
The reliance of a few game engines has also made games have a "Samey" familiarity to them.
I feel like this list needs Mechwarrior 2 and 3.
You are right!
3 for sure!
Heavy Gear 1 and 2
I played almost all of these games when I was a kid, because PC gaming was what got me into gaming in the first place. A lot of good memories here... hell, even messing around with dos to get the games to work in the first place was half the fun.
Thank you, uploader, for bringing back many childhood memories.
THANK you for not using crappy background music and bringing us the original sound instead.
A true hero.👍
The advancement in graphics around '97 was unreal.
Great compilation, well done... although I'm very disappointed there was nothing from the X-Wing, Wing Commander, or X-COM franchises.
Oh man, X-COM. That was pretty hard game, I think I was 10 or 11 when I played that back then.
Elite 2, 3. Any of XCOM/UFO games, Wing Commander. Warhammer SOTHR or Dark Omen.
Among RTS I don’t see Dune 2!!!
Also, Dark Colony, Outpost 2.
Also, Master of Magic, Master of Orion, Civilisation. Star Control 2 !!!
90s had way too many awesome games.
unreal tournament... he missed a lot of good ones.
Maybe he left room for a sequel.
Such a great era of gaming.
Agreeeeed! 😎😎😎
oh man, this is my childhood right here, so many games I used to own and play that I completely forgot about.
Wow! Time Commando vanished from my memory! Thank you for bringing it back!
great content. 90s was the best decade. sub earned
Thank you for posting this video. A lot of nostalgia there for me.
No Masters of Orion, Heroes of Might and Magic, or Civilization? Those were my main games along with all of the TSR D&D games.
Slammy555 I miss those DnD games. Temple of Elemental Evil is the only one I’ve managed to come across recently.
I saw quake, but no quake 2, or 3... I'm pretty sure they existed, or maybe the mandela effect iz reel -_-
Also x-com: enemy unknown should be there
Same. I think our genre of games were massively overlooked. No Everquest, too!
Games in 90's to some extent were better than modern ones and maybe developers were creating them with love.
Yes, and companies were small, so there was no executive BS layer to mess the works.
@@pelimies1818 Another difference is that games were designed by people who were inspired by things other than videogames.
So even modern Indie games are not comparable. They may have none of Executive BS, but devs are inspired mostly by games.
Game inspired by a game and game inspired by something that is not a game... Heck, even game design today is somewhat samey, though it's called "Quality of Life Features".
Back then... even games in same genre could play like completely different genre.
But EA would go on to buy many of these companies that made these games, and they had such a good reputation. Look at all the improvements they made to these games. /sarcasm
What a time to be alive. I still play a few of those games.
Still have the "Claw" game. Man what a game, it's insanely good
So much good stuff. Special shoutout to the amazing games that never seem to get enough love, like Gobliins 2, SiN, Stunts, The Incredible Machine... But were included here which is epic.
future cop L.A.P.D
Stunts was always too hard for me when I was younger, in the uk it had a proper stick shift.
SiN wasn’t a really good game though..
Omitting Q2 to include SiN?
Still, most of the included games are really great. There’s at least 200 more that deserve inclusion just as much.
Stunts is one of my favourite car games EVER. It was one of the first racing games I ever played, right there with Test Drive 3, Accolade Grand Prix, Pole Position, Outrun, Mario Andretti's Racing or NES's Road Fighter.
A trip down memory lane! I especially loved C&C and Half-Life, and all the Lucasarts point-and-click adventure games!
Ah, good mornin', Mr Freeman! Looks like you're running late.
Full Throttle is still to this day one of my favourite games of all time.
Amen to that.. I'm still kicking that damn stone wall trying to find the secret hatch
i still have Full Throttle cd great game
"When I'm on the road, I'm indestructible"
It is worth noting that these games looked a lot better in a CTR monitor, they looked smooth and glorious, those are some great memories, thanks for it!
16:48 of pure joy, thank you
I was addicted to Starcraft. Even though the sound hurt one of my ears! Weird how that happened with just one game.
Nice games but Street Fighter 2 for DOS is one of the worst versions, the gameplay is horrendous.
SFIBM, the Korean fan version was far more playable.
Consoles ruled the 2D platformers, and 1 on 1 fighting games after the Amiga could no longer complete. Playing what existed of them on PC's meant calibrating joysticks, praying your sound card would support it, and that VGA/SVGA graphics sucked, they were much better suited to Adventure Games and later FPS due to their speed.
wait does it actually run at that framerate? i thought they were just emulating it badly lol
Half-life was such a jump forward
No, Half-life is overrated
@@MrAbradox shut up
@@MrAbradox Whenever you like the game or not you cannot deny the impact it had
half life best old game ❤
@@MrAbradox when it first came out it was THE BEST, as well as counterstrike being the best multiplayer game.
Feel very proud to have played some of these classics
Honestly amazing seeing how many games I never knew existed seemed to spawn off the Doom mechanics
Was a little difficultier than today without TH-cam to know all the interesting stuff. Early 90s wasn't really my pc time and most of the time my I go came from the boxes at the shop or videos from TV.
Marathon > doom but nobody knows about it.
It all started with a game called The Catacomb Abyss :D
Nice job as always. This brings back so much memories.
and this barely scratches the surface - you left out really all the flight sims, wargames, tank sims, and racing games too and all the star wars sims
I am from 91' and i am know all those games were made with so much love and dedication than the most actual games so far, you can already feel it
Same here. 03/16/91 we were lucky to born and play these masterpiece golden era of games, instead fortnite ffs.
That was quite the trip down memory lane. Thank you
6:33 Best Graphics Ever
this is not graphics, this is photograph.
Thank you for this video. I love all these games. Such a big part of my childhood.
"Giblets" "Zug zug" Come get some!" "Your base in under attack" miss them days. 🤘🤘
Back when i had to upgrade my pc with every new game. Happy times❤️
Thanks a lot for gathering all these old games, it really does help people like me who can vaguely remember anything besides images, sounds or gameplay
Perfect man, the best 🙌
My god so many gems in here. This was truly the golden age. Thank you for this.
I realized that I played to many games during the 90s
Great list, the only games I remember fondly from the era and you didn't include were One Must Fall 2097 and Tyrian.
Thanks Ernest, yeah, some great games are missing, maybe I'll make a second video in the future.
I forgot how basic TIdes of Darkness was but damn that was a fun game when I was a kid.
This is a real trip back in time, I started playing video games in 1995 on the Megadrive with Sonic 2 and played some of those timeless classics. Amazing thank you
I get it is nostalgic, but GODDAMN the 90's have their point-and-click games
Of course, but man those were some good games. ☺️
Some sub-genres (horror adventures) are over-represented here (but still some are missed. Bioforge, Time Gates, Ecstatica..)
But yes, a lot more point and click games existed than shown. For example, Rise of the Dragon, Kyrandia..
Indeed, was just looking at the phantasmagoria footage at 7:05 , it seems a really intersting way they managed to render the girl into the game, i wonder why they didnt develop that further going into modern tech/games.
*_15:13_**_ Fun Fact: SiN was the first game to implement a damage bonus from a “head shot”._*
Damn, I thought that innovation was from Return to Castle Wolfenstein, it was the first game where I killed enemies with headshots
didn't goldeneye come out a year before that and implement different damage done on almost every body part?
Alot of great memories, thanks for this one😁👍🏻
Cool overwiew over the 90s Gaming era.
FX Fighter was so good when I was 6. I remember Siren and her Level, the music in that stage has stayed with me for ever man!
90`s were the golden age of gaming !!
This is great! Played almost all of these back in the day’
Kinda expected Unreal & Frontier Elite II but still a great video!
Thank you! I was looking for the game at 3:33 the whole morning
THANK YOU FOR THE REAL PC GAMING IN THE 90S VOD, GG PEASANTS.
good old "Dig, The"
Freaking LOVE this video! So many memories! There were some good games back in the day.
Born in the eighties and Lucky enough to have played nearly every game from this video. (minus a few RPGs only) 🙂
I was born in 85 but only played a few of these cuz I was on the Nintendo and Sega
2:30 you came for this
I’ve been trying to remember the title of “Out of this World” for years! Thank you!
