gamespy came up with this list of the 25 best games of the 90's.

Reading that list is truly a trip down memory lane for me.

Wolfenstein 3D
The only FPS that I played and really loved. I just had a soundcard in my system that was connected to my stereo which was behind me. I;ve lept in my chair quite a few times when I heard the door opening/shutting sound behind in the middle of the night.

The Secret of Monkey Island
Great game.

Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness
On of the 1st games I played MP, early days of RTS with great games as Dune II and C&C as well.

EverQuest
First MMO I played. Like one of the commentators on Gamespy said. Leveling was grinding of the worst kind, dying in an unknown place meant searching for your corpse for ages to prevent gear loss.

X-COM: UFO Defense

Doom II: Hell on Earth
Star Wars: Dark Forces

Day of the Tentacle
Great adventure, from the starting scene's where one of the tentacles drinks from the polluted water I was hooked.

Grand Theft Auto

Lemmings
Really fun game, but not quite top25 imo.

TIE Fighter
One of the few shooters I played.

Half-Life

Quake
played it quite a bit, but I liked wolfenstein better.

Outcast

Sam & Max Hit the Road
Brilliant game. Should be compulsary for everybody to play once in your life.

Diablo
Also quite a lot of time spent on MP'ing this. Even with the rampant cheating is was awesome.

Quake III: Arena

The Curse of Monkey Island
Another great adventure. Did I mention I miss those kind of games.

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall

StarCraft
Best RTS ever. A real groundbreaking game with different races that still were balanced. Played this for years. Looking forward to the sequel, I just hope Bliz don't screw up the legacy.

Grim Fandango
I still can not fathom how this brilliant adventure could turn out to be the genre's swan song. If you've never played this, you should see if you can buy a copy on Ebay and play it now.

Baldur's Gate
I own it but didn't really play it that much. Too much Starcraft/EQ/Civ II competition I guess.

Counter-Strike
System Shock 2
Doom

Games I miss on the list:

- Civ I, Civ II, Col (obviously)
- Dune II. The game that started of RTS.
- Full Throttle
- Simon the Sorceror
- Lands of Lore.
- 7th guest/11th hour
