Half-Life
Bloody hell, I didn’t realize it’s that old. I played it in high school, feels like yesterday.
Play Black Mesa, you deserve it. Not only it’s Half-Life like you’ve never seen it, but there’s also a completed Xen campaign.
I did, it’s amazing. Also just replayed HL2 with some fancy graphics mod, pretty cool stuff.
Yeah, this is the make us feel old thread.
We’re only a couple months from the launch lineup for the ps2 qualifying here.
My hope is that this becomes a living document that will show up in search engines and make people aware of lemmy and can be reffered to when people ask “what should i play?” Thats why the title says “best” instead of “most popular.” There’s a lot of hidden gems posted already.
My thought when reading the title of the thread was “If Half-Life fits the bill, it’s half life.”
Revolutionary game.
Super Mario Bros 3 - NES
This game was huge. People that weren’t around at the time don’t understand how much better it was than previous games.
They made a freaking MOVIE to promote it!
And that stupid glove.
Looking back, boy did they have vision. I get that the Power Glove wasn’t all it was cracked up to be but Nintendo really saw early on how we want to interact with our machines.
Then somewhere along the way they realized they could make a lot of money by relicensing the same game over and over again, and suing their most loyal fans out of existence.
I love the Power Glove™️.
It’s so bad.
YES. It’s absolutely criminal that people always show the first one off and out it on a pedestal.
Doom
Reporting!
Unit. Lost. Unit. Lost. Unit. Lost.
Our base is under a tack.
Mission. Failed.
I think that phrase just chipped away at my delicate teenage self esteem back in the day. Something new to bring up in therapy: being bullied by RTS games.
I can hear Hell’s March just from the screenshot

Goldeneye - N64
Boooo! The World Is Not Enough was superior in every way. Fully-voiced dialog and a working physics engine, on the freaking Nintendo 64! No Oddjob bullshit in multiplayer, either.
Never understood why everyone sleeps on TWINE and praises GoldenEye. Every single time. Y’all missed out on a really good sequel.
Edit: *sigh* See what I mean? Why does everyone hate this game!?
The only sequel was Perfect Dark.
See? This is what I mean! Shame on you for never giving TWINE a chance.
and TimeSplitters, of course!
