Red Alert 2.

I’ve gone four hours without mentioning it

[-] CaptainS7ark@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Video games changed so much during the 90s. I feel like this describes a single year.

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Soundtracks have always been fire though. I still have the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack, Red Alert soundtrack, Sim City 3000, etc in my playlist.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 6 points 3 weeks ago

Carmageddon's sound track was made by Fear Factory 🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's Doom.

It's literally a photo of id software devs. You can tell by John Romero's glorious mane.

I still listen to this music when working. Puts me right in the mood

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Maybe if the book was eight times taller

[-] jonathan@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago

The book is from the game and actually only has 2 pages in it.

The snowboarding level, and the carnival stage.

[-] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Lol which one, there's like a dozen of each of those themes!

That's the best thing about them!

Megaman 2 for me. Shit was hard but I still listen to the soundtrack

[-] Chefdano3@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

MegaMan 2 isn't a 90's game though.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

About the majestic soundtrack of Doom: That's why it's still my ringtone.

[-] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 weeks ago

Donkey Kong Country had like. One of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Game was really hard towards the end too. One of my fav games of all time.

Doom could apply here too. ID was very much a small studio of dorks with a limited budget.

[-] mrslt@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Populous: The Beginning

~~Black and White~~

Warcraft 1 & 2

Monkey Island 1-3

Optimal game dev size.

[-] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 weeks ago

I still remember playing the Colin McRae rally demo on PS1 for the first time in 1998 or 1999 and seeing the Impreza WRX get mud splatters on it's sides in real time while drifting through the Scottish highlands. There have been few if any as awe inspiring gaming moments since, maybe the original Gran Turismo replay graphics.

[-] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 weeks ago

Star Control 2

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

I don't remember this game much, but the sound track is a banger

Any of the Legacy of Kain games

[-] xkbx@startrek.website 7 points 3 weeks ago

You gotta change that book to encyclopedia size. The amount of shenanigans you can’t explain without going into the other tomfoolery Amy Hennig and the rest of those wacky geniuses came up with…

Ultima Online, for sure. Anyone who says the Minoc theme song isn't banging is drunk and on drugs

[-] dinckelman@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

This has been Gothic for me, although it missed the 90's mark by just a bit

I never really had sounds in the 90s. Always caused my mom to get headaches. All video games were played on low or no volume.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

You poor bastard.

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Just a picture of Tim follin on the bottom right would have been enough, his music is sole weird voodoo only a Tim filling could pull of.

Counterpoint, some 90s games like Half-Life had a pretty good story

[-] yabai@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I think the meme is suggesting most games had a decent story. Not Game of Thrones level, but a decent 200 page book.

[-] levzzz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

ah yes, the touhou games I still haven't completed a single one without retries
