![[RetroSeries] 90s Best of PC Games - Part: 2 1996-2000](/img/n.gif)
Imagine how many people relived their best childhood years watching this. I certainly did.
Born in 1980, can confirm! :D
Seriously… I cried 😢
I found several games that I couldn't remember the name of that I played back then.
İ can confirm.
can i be 8 again
Grew up playing Heretic with my mom. 20 years later and she still asks me if I remember playing them with her, of course mom, I will never forget
"Graphics will never get better than this." ~Me playing these games in the 90s.
So many classics, this was my childhood ❤
Very happy to see Little Big Adventure up there too. LBA1+2 were my favourite adventure games growing up, they had so much charm and character to them, but they always seem to be forgotten about.
I had been searching for the name of this game for years.....super happy to find it and am now watching the longest Long Play....
@@Rickyexpress Both LBA's are on Steam and have been patched to run on modern hardware, along with a few QoL updates too :)
and they announced a kind of reboot for 2024 ;)
same here, it was my favourite game even though I couldn't understand it fully when I was a kid. I finished it finally in high school years later and can't wait for the upcoming reboot!
I believe i started out with Twinsuns odyssey before i played the first installation. Man, this brought back memories
Man! I still boot up X-COM ufo defense in dosbox every few years for a playthrough. Still one of the best tactical games ever.
Man those new X-Com series just suck in comparison
man.. countless hours on it. It was so exciting too.
I played the ever loving heck out of the first X-Com.
So many of those games brought back a wave of nostalgia. The Crusader games, Day of the Tentacle, Hexen, Rise of the Triad, Sam and Max, Jazz, Abuse, and Witchaven. The memories.
I did not come across Witchaven as a child, but Hexen is well remembered)
We could still play these on dos box.
@@krakenatemyboss you could still
Play it on dos box.
Just look for the rom.
My childhood ex and I would play Rise of the Triad. To this day, I still associate it with her and those good memories.
Commander Keen was one of the 1st games I ever played
Warcraft 2, One must fall, Dune 2, Civilization, Syndicate... so many hours.
I remember some of those games. I was surprised how many I have played, even for a moment. MK2, MDK, Dune 2 & UFO were one of my favorite.
Little BIg Adventure was something I found in a 5.99 discount pile at Egghead software. Loved that game...
ME 2 literally my childhood. So sad I cant play it fresh again, I remember everything and played in 22 years ago. It's on stream if you want to give it a try again, I bought it to give something back, because the version I played as a kid was pirated.
A pleasure to see Dune II here including my favorite battle music.
Ох во многие играл из этих)))) было круто и впечатляюще.....
I played Little Big Adventure 1 & 2 through as a kid and really liked them. Had forgotten them almost completely. I didn't remember how charming they were. That was a nice reminder. Thanks!
LBA franchise is another one that deserve a decent remake.
@@KrotowX I just don't remember enough about them anymore to say. I was so young that I hadn't even learnt that much english yet. I remember I enjoyed them a lot though
@@KrotowX a reboot is happening, the original creators are working on it, it's early stages but should be ready in 2024 I believe
You are so lucky, I played them 20 years ago and remember almost every detail. Damn my stupid memory, if I could forget and play them from the beginning like you... This 2 games are little shiny gems.
@@Lubet0TheGreat I'm quite sure I still have both of the games at my childhood house. Maybe I should give them a go. I just need to get a CD station into my PC first and figure out how I'm gonna get them to work with Windows 10!
This brought back so many amazing memories. Me and my 2 brothers played about 80% of the games on this list. We are all still gaming till this day, love it too much! Bought my wife a gaming PC too and we now game together, she absolutely loves it!!
Hi dude) I made a new video and added more games. I think you will be interested to see it :)
- ua-cam.com/video/9mRchg51W_U/v-deo.html
Games like these give me so much nostalgia. Living as a kid you don't pay bills, now that I'm an adult I feel exhausted from the daily grind of life.
It's true... thanks for your comment my friend
yeah adulthood sucks ass. i kind of knew it would already back then.
Hi dude) I made a new video and added more games. I think you will be interested to see it :)

@@fourshore502 That totally depends on you and what you value. I was already an adult in the early 90s when I started gaming for real, and I still spend most of my free time gaming, now even more than then. Of course, I missed out on things that society expects from you, like a family, a career, and your own home, but as I said, it depends on what you value, and those things, like society itself, were rather low on my list of priorities. As a necessity I work shifts to keep myself fed, as sort of a luxury I have a family in another country which I can also keep fed, and that's about it. And so far I haven't had any reason to regret anything.
Dos games are super special. That was a great time in computer history.
I completely agree with you) Many games are outstanding
The golden age of games magazines bundled with disk and CD-ROM later. Many of those games strike a chord with me. You went to some friend's house to copy them, play them on a console or move your PC over to connect via cable.
I'd bring copies home and my son worked hard trying to beat me for the high score. A few years ago I told him I never actually played the games,
"One must fall" - a childhood classic
Yup. Along with local multiplayer where those old PS/2 keyboards couldn't handle all of the simultaneous inputs. Real world fights broke out over this game when someone intentionally pressed an extra key on the keyboard so the other person's keypresses wouldn't register.
@@privacyvalued4134 Hahaha yeeeeep. Or pressing F10 right when you were about to lose.
@@privacyvalued4134 I did not know about it))
Dungeon keeper to this day is to me one of the greatest game ever! To this day they havent made a better or even as close as good as that one!
I will probably agree that it is, at LEAST, top-10 ever made.
Master of Magic arent shaby as well, still on my computer and will be forever i guess.
Love Dungeon Keeper! The fan mod, KeeperFX is very recommended to people who haven't tried it!
@@samdavies2544 I have never heard of that mod, but I will check it out! Thank you for mentioning it :)
@@sejuanisupportonly7385 what mod?
0:10 - wow.... this game didint get old, still looking good.
The gameplay also still holds up. Most people praise heroes 3, and it's good, but for me personally heroes 2 is still the favorite game of the series. Great games in general though!
The most surprising thing for me was how many of these titles are still continuing today but started back in the 90s! Mind blowing!
I mean I also started in the 80s but am still continuing today...
Might not be an achievement of my own but I can safely say I feel appreciative at the very least :) And it feels great that I actually experienced tons of these games back in the day and have been witness to their IPs' downfall... .. .. wait, that latter part is kinda depressing.
When you consider that 90's were the gold rush age of gaming, and thousands upon thousands of titles were released, but less than a hundred of them became popular franchises that last to this day, it's not that surprising at all.
Through GOG Games, that is right!
Супер подборочка, как в детство вернулся.
Great selection thank you. There's nothing quite like being reminded of a game you had forgotten about, really takes me back.
Shout out to Dangerous Dave's Risky Rescue for shunning (S)VGA in 1993, it's a bold move!
I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the comment! It will help promote the video :)
I played many of these on my 486 using Windows 3.1. The games still had to be started through DOS. Sometimes I would have to make a bootdisk with Memmaker, using a floppy disk to start up the PC with changed config.sys and autoexec files to free up more memory, especially if the game was using SVGA.
and memmaker
this brings back memories.. config.sys was all about extended memory.. autoexec was trying to maximise base memory.. lol
My computer never had a proper sound chip so almost all of the games I had sounded like 7:20 with no music. I didn't even know Commander Keen had a soundtrack until like a decade later. I still play Masters of Orion 2 today.
It's very sad to play games without music :( Sometimes music and sounds are half the experience of the game
Still play Moo2 sometimes too :)
Oh my! I remember playing at least 60% of games shown here and at least seen some more, tho not played. Watching this video reminded me some good old times. So funny to realise, that some of these games were size of 700-900 Kilobytes and just few of them were crossing 2-20 Megabyte size, which was huge lol. Had to delete half of my games, so i could install X-com Ufo Defence that was ~16mb size if i remember correctly :D
Thanks for awesome video!
I teared up reading your comment. So it was with me :)
I just want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU. So many memories you just uncovered. Wow.
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked my video :)
Hi dude) I made a new video and added more games. I think you will be interested to see it :)

I'm not just happy to see DOS games, but also that the youtube tradition of X games in 10 minutes is still continued. Remembering laffer35's compilation videos from 15 years ago. RIP
For anyone interested, master of magic is getting new updates again after these many years. You should check it out!
Thx, nice. I played this for hours and hours. "Old man, you seek the spell of Masters..."
I think it is insane how much difference just 3 years makes in terms of graphics. It seems that the leaps today is much less
It also meant that your computer was mostly obsolete after one or two years. Playing with 15 fps or so was completely normal as well.
I've played about 2/3 of these games, what a ride!
Damn... I played about 2/3 of these.
What a trip.
And some of these still hold up, Little Big Adventure was ported to Android a few years ago, and it was still as good on a tablet as it was on PC.
Didn't know about LBA was on Android! I'll check it right now.
Same thing, my university years, a lot of free time. Didn't have a PC powerful enough to run Crusader or any other Origin game, though.
One Must Fall!! Loved that game. Many other nostalgic classics here too, of course.
These were DOS games! Wow! Im impressed. I never had a DOS PC but played one at a family members house called Camelot. It was fun but damn hard..
My other favorites:
Retaliator, Return to castle Wolfenstein, Red Baron, Wings of Fury, Civ2: The test of time, Monkey Island, Sherlock Holmes, Larry, Space Hulk, FlashBack, Back to the future, Another World, Duke Nukem and a few more I cant remember anymore, I have to say, I didn't expect you got MDK and Gods on your list. :)
I have never been hit so hard with nostalgia in a 10 min long video before.
I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the comment! It will help promote the video :)
Godamn what a wave of nostalgia. I remember them all. Some I forgetten the name of like Rise of the triads!
They did a remake of it in 2013 with Unreal Engine. But yeah it was the first FPS I had ever played back in the 90s.
My absolute favorites were:
Crusader: No Remorse. Also No Regret. Fantastic game and that music, still rocks.
Syndicate. Also Syndicate: Wars(or smthn like that, second part).
Awesome games. I remember I had a windows explorer overlay in Synditate: Wars style. It was Windows 98 as I recall.
Naturally GTA, Need For Speed, Nascar. Good times :)
9:24 the most deadliest move i ever seen
I was waiting for someone to notice)) I laughed for a long time when I saw this and wanted to add this fragment to the video
@@krakenatemyboss WTF was that, I hope the male characters can't replicate it, because it will get weird really soon.
@@Lubet0TheGreat xD
OMG.... I remember far too many of those.
Most I had, never got any sports games... Hate sports. >.>
Dungeon Keeper, Dune and Syndicate were the stand out ones for me.
Special tip of the hat to UFO Enemy Unknown for taking up FAR too much of my time and reloading saves every 5 seconds. B-)
Have you ever played Robinsons Requiem? I don`t know how many possibilities you have to die there, but far too many. You also could amputate your Arms and Legs. Just one of the most brutal survival games ever. But i also loved Dune and as soon as i heard the sound from Syndicate a shiver ran down my spine. Was a hell of an intense game.
@@HamannGeorg nope... Never heard of Robinsons requiem... I wonder if it was a US only game?
Ok... Did a Google....
Hmmm.... It is the same people who did Ishtar... A game series I enjoyed.
Maybe it was just a game that passed me by.
@@Kalamain I am from Austria, and I and a friend played it, so it sure wasn't US only. But i think it wasn't that popular. The remorseless game Design surely didn't help. But you also had this feeling of achievement and a constant feel of danger, as even small incidents could lead to your demise, sometimes even hours later.
The 90's were truly the best era ever for gaming. Total creativity, undefined genres, and limitless combinations of originality.
Today, most Triple-A games can be fitted into any of a handful of boxes. Even Zelda is an open world exploration ""RPG"" now.
I completely agree
So many good memories. Remember trying to tweak the boot disks to squeeze out just a liiiiitle more performance. Great video!
I've been trying to find out the name of Little Big Adventure for DECADES, thank you so much! I only had a vague memory of the graphics.
:)
It was also called Twinsen's Adventure (Second one being Odyssey) in some regions.
But yeah, LBA1+2 are amazing games, absolutely adore them. They're available on Steam too, they even received updates to include stuff like Steam achievements, controller support and even a new game plus :D
Thank you so so much for this - it's like you reminded me of when I was 5 years old again. Some deep nostalgia titles.
OMG that master of orion bit hit me in the feels so deep I was frantically looking for the user manual so I could keep going
I loved ALL of these games. I can't even name favorites because I collected them all. My sense of wonder and excitement for new video games, unfortunately, has died since then.
Kicking it off with one of my favorite dos games of all time. Nice touch!
I do had some good Videogames growing up :) ! Thank you for the trip down memory lane !!!
Space Quest V and Dune II were the clear standouts for me. Syndicate was pretty special too.
Thank you for bringing back the good old days playing quite a lot of these games but most of all the Amiga is where my heart was at buying the magazines with the game demo's good stuff mate keep up the good work.
A bunch of those I played, a bunch of them I really wanted to play, I am getting my old machines out again!
One Must Fall!!! Thank you!! I forgot the name of that for so long
Ms-dos and amiga was truly a different unique time …
I played at least two-thirds of these in some form. Indycar Racing and NASCAR Racing were excellent for their day; many hours invested in both.
Brought back a ton of memories of my teen years
I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the comment! It will help promote the video :)
I have played at least 30% of these games. So much nostalgia. Thank you so much! Now I'm playing Elden Ring and also some VR games, its flabbergasting how much technology evolved in such a relatively short time. What a world to live in, I'm so grateful to witness it :)
One of my favorite things about games of that era are the pre-rendered sprites. Sometimes it looked similiar to stop-motion or claymation, it made the games feel very unique and charming. I liked that a lot, unfortunately that artstyle have been forgotten, and wasn't yet brought back like pixel art was in recent years.
Thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane
Man this was a trip down memory lane!! Thanks for the video!!
space quest 5, Day of the Tentacle, ecc.❤
What a nostalgic trip!
I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the comment! It will help promote the video :)
So much of nostalgia. And it was interesting to see how much technology level differed in games in '95
I'm 48 years-old, but after watching this I feel ancient.
Sorry xD
Dungeon Keeper, GTA, and Heroes II would be my picks.
Dungeon Keeper and Heroes in particular are still perfectly great games even today (with a bit of graphical polish).
But my favourite game of the era would probably be Ascendancy.
oh man ascendancy ! I put this game's ost when I play Star Realms card game with my friends, its like a tradition ^^
Good old days
Crusader and GTA was rreally top games. Especially those short videos in GTA )))
I have spent so many hours playing MDK.
It could be so frustrating sometimes as there were NO checkpoints or the possibility to save the game...
You had to go somewhere before finishing the (long) mission? Bad luck, you needed to start over the next time...
Oh and I still play that original Rayman on this day. None of the newer Rayman games can beat the original. The scenery, the music, the colors, ... :)
Rayman Legends is very good)
@@krakenatemyboss It's not bad, I have it as well.
I'm not sure why, but I still prefer the original. Maybe it's nostalgia? :)
The newer Rayman games are a bit more "chaotic", if you know what I mean.
Rayman has always been quite the relaxing game for me, with the music. :)
@@o0L4nc3r0o I understand what you mean. The first parts of Ryman are calmer and the new ones are more intense and fast, but the music of course is cool everywhere :)
Thank you for this nostalgic video. I feel that I need to install a dos emulator again :D
Good idea! :D
Oh yes, so much memories...
I miss games like Pirates!, Colonisation, Alone In The Dark, Command & Conquer, Realms Of Arcania, Panzer General, Settlers, Ice Hockey Manager, Burntime, On The Ball, Day Of The Tentacle, Baldurs Gate, The Patrician and - of course - Battle Isle 2.
so many classics! omg rayman and the commander keen games were really special to me. When games were made to maximise fun instead of profit. Love this
Hi dude) I made a new video and added more games. I think you will be interested to see it :)
- ua-cam.com/video/9mRchg51W_U/v-deo.html
IDDQD
I'm still playing DotT. Can play through it in under 2 hours. And OMF 2097...all my beloved games from the past.
Oh man Day of the Tentacle brings back memories. Spending nights in my early teens in one of my Uncles computer rooms playing this game on low volume. What a great adventure game. Also watching this makes me feel like we really lost something in modern games. These all look so fun to play and I would crack out on them just from the short vids. But most games now I feel like are fun for the start and then quickly loose the luster old games had through the whole thing.
i busted out in laughter watching Civi '91! hilarious! it looks so busted. i was just starting college around the time that came out and hadn't played any console games in a long time (or any PC games at all). when i got to school, everyone had a nintendo, a sega, or a 3DO. i was thrown back into gaming with verve! and then in my later college years hooked up with some folks that got me into PC gaming. good memories right here. thanks for the vid.
I was born 1992 and still can remember lots of those games. I loved to stay overnight at my uncle house, because he got the Pc and nintendo :D
Here you can see another 60 games on dos:

Day of the Tentacle and Space Quest 5 were my life!!
This was definitely a trip down memory lane. I'm sitting here in 2023 watching this video on my 32" 240hz monitor powered by an RTX 4080 water cooled beast of a PC thinking jeeezus! things really were that primitive back in the day. We've come a long way baby.
How do you know you are old? At 7:35 I remembered that "Abuse" was probably the only real game EVER made with the programming language LISP. What mad people did that, I do not recall, but what a feat!! And at 9:04 I went "Hey, isn't that Kenny Smith??" ... imagine recognising pixel haircuts after 25 years :D
I have played most of these games with fond memories. I remember playing Mass Destruction as a kid but had long forgotten the name of it until watching this video. Nice trip down memory lane.
Syndicate, great game!
I don't know how many hours I spent playing Syndicate, but they were all good hours.
The intro was haunting on the Amiga.
Before every game was fps, fighting games or battle Royale. Great times.
As a great devotee of Civ IV, I appreciate seeing what the OG looked like!
ah yes...i love the jazz jackrabbit games.. and to this day i still play the heroes of might and magic games.
4:35 I loved this game as a child so much! It was so mysterious, thats how I got into the Dune sage. The soundtrack was also rad!
I got into gaming around 1998 with ps console. Still think golden era of video games was from 1998 to 2004. but it could be just nostalgia. All my favorite games are from those years, all timeless classics.
98?! n00b
Unfortunately, I didn't have a PS console as a child, but when I grew up I bought myself a PS 3 and bought Crash Bandicoot, Rayman Legends. Awesome games
@@krakenatemyboss PS era was just amazing. I actually had Sega Mega Drive 2 and SNES since 95/96, so I got into gaming before 98 but it was PS that made me a full time gamer lol. Nothing could beat Spyro the Dragon , Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Silent Hill and other series. When PS2 came out I didn't have money to buy it so I eventually moved to PC and never got back to consoles again.
@@boreanknight I am an old cracker, I started with the Atari 2600 moved to NES and some old computer I can't remember what it was exactly but probably IBM compatible since it had MS-DOS and later I threw Windows 3.1 on it. I was gifted on some floppies with a hole in the middle with games that I enjoyed, never owned SNES and Mega Drive at their time, couldn't find a way to get one(everything until now was old hardware gifted to me by cousins and uncles. Except the NES that was new by a rich uncle. Parents were poor, didn't buy me such expensive things).
But I did get to play plenty of SNES at a cousin of me that had a huge collection and spend lots of days at his house. Some Mega Drive at an uncle but we visited him much less often and only had like 5 or 6 games on it. He didn't seem to care of it much and although I was clued with it all the time my parents were there, I never thought of asking for it since I was dreaming of the SNES that impressed me much more probably because of the many great games my cousin had and the fun I had playing with him.
Unfortunately I got my SNES much later in life.
My parents then bought an actual Pentium PC with Windows 95. They paid it in dosages too. They were convinced by a sale man that it will be great for our education as kids. Well don't know about that since I played most of the time on it. I played Euro football game my first 3D FIFA, Wolfstein, some platform candy game made by ID software etc. Good times but it didn't have graphic acceleration card like a Voodoo so the weakness became quickly obvious and my access to games was limited.
Then as a teen I bought the PS1 along with my own CRT TV for my room with my own money doing some jobs here and there. Couldn't buy games with my little money though so I chipped it and go some decent gaming from pirate CD's. Countless hours of Grand Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill etc(Don't sue me Sony I bought legit copies of those later in life).
PlayStation made a fun out of me then. So as a young adult with finally some money I bought a PS2 and many many games. For me that was the most gaming fun I had because I could finally buy games and play and magazines to read about latest titles coming and graphics and demo discs etc etc. The PS2 also had so many endless great games I never got bored along with compatibility for PS1(I played the original Tomb Raider games on it and the remake later).
Horror, sports, JRPGs, RPGs, action, fighting games, open world, strategy, it had EVERYTHING, absolutely everything.
As an owner it was a gold time and was no strange at all it sold like hot cakes.
Then I got out of gaming. Bought a PC again and played a game or two there but I wasn't bothered much I was doing other things on it mostly. Bought a PS3 a year before being replaced just to check it out. That brought me back in and then bought PS4. PS4 was amazing fun as well although games with all the services and online practices weren't as simple and enjoyable as before.
Got an Xbox ONE X later on as well. I am still using that and PS4. I did recently got a Switch but is still in the box. I was busy.
We surely still have some of the greatest games ever made nowadays but certainly at that time-frame almost everything was done with passion instead of greed, which is why most of the gems that came out those years still holds up to this day, maybe not graphically, but narratively, yeah.
Descent, one of my favorite, there are so few games like that
Also HoMM2, i like so much. I'm still imagining new composition of factions
Great video compilation! 🖥🕹 I have played or watched a friend play more than 1/2 of these classic PC games. I'm surprised I recognized so many of them! 🍻Cheers to the classics!!!🍻
Hi dude) I made a new video and added more games. I think you will be interested to see it :)

so many of these I played, awesome list
WOW, this video was like a time machine going back to my childhood - Thanks for posting -
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked it :)
So many good games from when I was a kid. I loved MDK on PS1.
Space quest 4/5 my fav games ever. just so much comedy and was such a challenge as a kid.
Yes, this is a very cool and funny series of games :)
The nostalgia! AND the proper aspect ratio!
UFO Enemy Unknown is the best game ever. I still play it today.
Ah! The nostalgia. :)
I haven't even played most of them, but I remember reading about them in the computer games magazines.
Doom, Xcom UFO Defense (on floppy), Street Fighter 2, Battle Arena Toshinden 2, Megarace 1, Alone in the Dark, Strike Commander, Wing Commander, and some are I remember well. Megarace 1 being my most favorite back in the day so much the disk wore itself out.
I haven't played most of these, but this video is still a time machine.
Played 47/60. In the days. Enjoyed going back in time 😊

Man, I used to play Syndicate and Dungeon Keeper heavy. A bunch of all-nighters with those two.
Ah yes those memories. Idk why but those old games have more soul in my opinion. Maybe im biased because i played most of the games as a kid but today the "magic" is so rare to find in any of theese new gen games.
Rose coloured glasses + the fact that the game technology changed so fast back then that keeping up was important. Now you're nether as committed nor has anything changed in gaming in the last literal decade. Think about it: we're still playing Skyrim 11 years in.
@@sCiphre I'd also point out that the 90s had that perfect ratio of HW limitations to HW capabilities. It was just enough to allow great creativity to manifest and also its limits meant it was always quite small teams getting it done in a short enough time which was great for competition.
I remember how back then almost every new game was a new genre and it took years just to find out how it's supposed to be played.
Today, if it weren't for the indie titles and throwback pixelart games all that's left would be 3D-3rd-person-action-adventure-RPG genre ... with difference being only in the emphasis on one of the action-RPG component. Oh yeah, and then there's EA sports.
And ok, I admit I exaggerated a bit too much, but really, 91-97 was the true golden age of gaming for reasons even if you dismiss rose colored glasses.
Also, the VGA graphics allowed a lot more room to one's own fantasy.
Also, MMO and freemium is killing the creativity and art in the industry.
Man,... this could turn into a long long nostalgia rant :D
@@mithrilsk early 2000s have seen some of the best games ever. Might and magic, wizardry 8, diablo 2, DK 2, warcraft 3, ... it's nostalgia speaking btw, im sure theres a ton of great games today but i just dont play them
@@tdb517 dude all od those you mentioned, however good and fun they were, had their original predecessors created in that 91-97 era :D it's as if you wanted to confirm my previous comment with that :)
And yeah, there still are great games coming out today, I thoroughly enjoyed Witcher 3, GTA5, even Cyberpunk2077 and World of tanks, to name one for online, however i stil feel that the creative enthusiasm and originality of the aforementioned era stays unparalleled.
And that's why I turned mostly to indie production. I'm not even holding any expectations towards GTA6.
@@mithrilsk Except MM7 and 8 or Wizardry 8 are largely superior to their predecessors. So good series might have started in the early 90s but the peak was early 2000s (in my opinion)
Those were good days -- easier times, that's for sure. Back when a 486DX2 was all you needed. But I have to admit: I wish someone would bring back "Modem Wars". That early DOS game was decades ahead of its time in both playability and lag-free modem communications (on 1200 baud, no less!). What I wouldn't do to relive that time. Dan Bunten, I miss you old friend. Gone way too soon.
