The ’90s were 30 years ago, a different era full of occurrences that would be considered odd or hilarious by today’s standards. For one thing, technology wasn’t nearly as efficient, making the video games of this decade considerably less sophisticated than their modern equivalents.<\/p>\n

High paced, adrenaline-fueled digital adventures usually require powerful engines to deal with all the variables in such short periods of time. Dozens of moving objects\u00a0and an evolving\u00a0environment are not easy things to simulate. Although some games have aged poorly, there are many ’90s titles that were ahead of their time in certain regards.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Banjo-Kazooie (Nintendo 64)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The ’90s were one of the golden eras for\u00a0Nintendo<\/a> with the\u00a0Nintendo 64 drawing in developers and customers like crazy. One of their smash hits was the 1998 3D platformer adventure game\u00a0Banjo-Kazooie<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Of all similar titles that were released in this time period, the world inhabited by this dynamic duo was arguably the largest. At the time, it had many gamers scratching their heads at how expansive the world was.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Unreal Tournament (PC)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Many consider this 1999 title to be one of the best first-person shooters<\/a> of all time. The smooth controls and intuitive movement allow snap reflexes that are crucial to the gun-totting combat.<\/p>\n

Unreal Tournament<\/a><\/em>‘s supreme balance and design have earned plenty of praise, which is especially impressive considering\u00a0how hyper-critical gamers can be of this genre. Many games since have tried to emulate this game’s fluidity, though with little success.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Street Fighter Alpha 3 (PlayStation)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fighting games<\/a>\u00a0require players to make many quick inputs in succession, rendering responsive controls essential to satisfying gameplay. Although many games in the\u00a0Street Fighter<\/em><\/a> series boast excellent speed and depth, 1999’s\u00a0Street Fighter Alpha 3<\/em> on the\u00a0PlayStation is considered the franchise’s pinnacle of balance.<\/p>\n

Each and every character has strengths that players can use freely, making the roster feel like a weapon rack of polished blades that are ready for battle.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night (PlayStation)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Older games in the\u00a0Castlevania<\/em><\/a> series usually require only great dexterity with a controller and a little bit of background knowledge to beat, however,\u00a0Castlevania: Symphony of the Night<\/em>\u00a0changed things up by including many RPG elements and a tremendously big map for 1999.<\/p>\n

The combos between items and different equipment combined with a world that was\u00a0fun to repeatedly explore caused a trend for some future games in the franchise. Some aspects even went on to become staple elements in the series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A whimsical world and the very first\u00a0Super Mario<\/a><\/em> game in three dimensions.\u00a0Super Mario 64<\/a><\/em>\u00a0takes full advantage of the\u00a0Nintendo 64’s capabilities<\/a> and allows\u00a0players to truly immerse themselves in the Mushroom Kingdom.<\/p>\n

This game created signature moves like the Long Jump, Triple Jump, and Backflip, which were Mario’s core tools in exploring the varying landscapes. These became ingrained in all future 3D\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> games, regardless of what other fascinating powers the plumber\u00a0receives.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Quake (PC)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Quake<\/a><\/em> is a 1996 title that is considered to be among the best FPS games<\/a> of all time. It\u00a0took what made\u00a0the older\u00a0Doom<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>games so wonderful and put more refined skins on everything.<\/p>\n

Quake<\/em>‘s\u00a0multiplayer experience was as well-received as the single-player for its excellent balance. Sophisticated audio for the time as well as better AI\u00a0helped establish\u00a0Quake<\/em> as a timeless classic, one that set the bar high for all that came after it.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Tekken 3 (PlayStation)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Of all the games in the\u00a0Tekken<\/a><\/em> series, as well as fighting games in general, 1998’s\u00a0Tekken 3<\/em>\u00a0stands out as one of the most detailed in almost every aspect. Each character has a wealth of moves for every situation as well as combos for days.<\/p>\n

The graphics are also pristine<\/a> with very little clipping or visual anomalies. Furthermore, the length of combos one could unleash upon their adversary pushed the limits not only in this franchise but others as well, forcing a steady power creep in this area for the genre.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>GoldenEye 007 (Nintendo 64)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Incredible music, detailed textures, and smooth controls are some of the things that make 1997’s\u00a0GoldenEye 007<\/a><\/em> so fun. Both the deep, challenging single-player missions and often frantic multiplayer frenzies give this game near-infinite replay value.<\/p>\n

Unlike\u00a0PC games of the same era, GoldenEye 007<\/em> didn’t have thousands of dollars worth of hardware to boost its potential. Rare’s game raised the overall standard for all FPS games, both on\u00a0PC\u00a0and major consoles.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Half-Life (PC)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Half-Life<\/a><\/em>\u00a0is one of the most immersive games of all time. Right from the start, the player is sucked into such a detailed and enjoyably bizarre world<\/a> that hours can pass like the blink of an eye while exploring this intricate virtual realm.<\/p>\n

In addition to phenomenal storytelling,\u00a0Half-Life<\/em> combines elements of strategy and planning into its gameplay that separates it from other first-person\u00a0games. A hybrid of groundbreaking gameplay and fantastic storytelling make\u00a0Half-Life<\/em> one of the most innovative games ever.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>SoulCalibur (Dreamcast)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In all fighting games of the ’90s, there were only two planes of movement. Towards and away from one’s foe, and moving up and down by jumping or crouching.\u00a0SoulCalibur<\/a><\/em> for the\u00a0Dreamcast broke this mold like a hammer by introducing the ability to move side to side.<\/p>\n

This novel mechanic made fights seem immensely more real, drawing many new and old gamers alike. By allowing\u00a0players to circle around opponents, the developers gave everyone a whole new world of combat to explore. Furthermore, this made it possible to explore and enjoy the intricate settings and their features.<\/p>\n
