What are some games that really feel like the 90's? Things like Startropics, EarthBound, etc.
>>11992710You'll never feel it zoomer, especially with a constant high speed internet connection.
>>11992710It depends on what 'era' of the 90's we are going with... when it comes to that early 90's vibe ... ToeJam & Earl is a top contender... https://youtu.be/LD5eEakGkds?list=PLA468E2813CF52C60
i'm a fan of the late 80s

Twisted Metal 2 is my go-to mid-late-90s attitude game. It was in your face and loud and rockin.Rare's Banjo Tooie and Conker's BFD both represent the very late 90s and early 2000s mean-spirited attitude, where people are casually insulted for being different and characters are heartlessly killed off while the main characters shrug their shoulders.A real harbinger of post-ironic feelings and sentiments that grip society today.

>>11992821Area 88/UN Squadron is really a product of the 80s, but yeah the SNES game definitely has an early 90's feel.I feel similarly about Zero Wing, from 89 but somehow the overall aesthetic is just so quintessentially early 90s in so many ways.
>>11993747I always forget about the obscure Japanese cartoon. Aero Fighters also felt very 90s.
Late 90s mog the early 90s so much that it's not even funny, especially with music.
Not the answer you're looking for but there is nothing that screams "1996" more to me than vehicle FPS games like Necrodome. This genre was everywhere between 94 and 97 and peaked in 96 before disappearing almost overnight.
>>11993747The PC Engine version of zero wing has a very 80s/early 90s soundtrack that almost sounds like sitcom music.

>>11992772>depends on what 'era' of the 90's we are going with.This. 90s was a very distinct 3 part decade. Early would be TJ&Earl like you posted. Mid would be Comix Zone. Late would be Omega Boost.
Any of the games in those mags
>>11992710Skitchin' is the most 90s of 90s games ever made.
>>11995726>This. 90s was a very distinct 3 part decade. Early would be TJ&Earl like you posted. Mid would be Comix Zone. Late would be Omega Boost.I was 9 in 1990 and 18 in 1999. It is hard to summarize an entire decade. But early 90's was more of an extension of the late 80's. The Genesis released in 1988 in Japan and 1989 in North America. But it kinda did kick off the 4th generation of consoles, even though the PCE/ Turbo Graphix16 was there too. The Super Nintendo was 1990 in Japan and 1991 in North America. Nintendo always felt like they were the latest in the 16-bit era. Because they were so reluctant to move from their popular NES. Early 5th gen consoles were the Jaguar and the 3DO in 1993. They were still in the thicket of the 4th gen era of consoles. Sega had the Sega CD. So 1992- 1995 was more of the rise of the CD-Rom based consoles, and computers too. The multimedia age. The music trends in the early 90's were very clean cut and pop-ish. MC hammer, Vanilla ice (He was big in 1991), New Kids on the Block. I guess Grunge was starting to become big then too. Mid 90's, was the Playstation domination era and the Saturn. Windows 95 was a huge deal, and the rise of the internet. With the N64 in 1996. CGI artwork was also big in the mid 90's. The top music fads were alternative, East Coast/ West Coast rap, R&B, Industrial/ Techno/ House/ Drum and Bass, Brit Pop/ Boy Bands. Pokemon became popular in the mid 90's. The late 90's, really only saw the release of the Dreamcast, where it launched in 1998 in Japan and 1999 in North America. 1999, Arcades were dying. Too much shit to unpack.
>>11995580he's spilling that shit everywhere. They added some really pointless details while neglecting others.

>>11993695Oh yea... that was one of my first PlayStation games. I think I bought it used for $10 in 97.
honestly, sports games in general have a way of taking you back
>>11995854>New Kids on the BlockIt's crazy how far that marketing campaign they did with PopTarts got them.
>>11992710I mean it's pretty 90's up in here.
>>11993150Add Rayman 1, Lemmings, and Jetpack Christmas Edition.
>>11993779Starsiege Tribes gives me similar vibes with its HUD.
>>11993904Off yourself
>>11998007I agree with this partially. This type of game kind of peaked with the early 2000's though, since most of the good ones were PS2 era, and always had slight edgy soundtracks to them.
>>11992710Rise of the Robots.It isn't a good game, but it absolutely screams mid-90s, from the music to the shoddy overly ambitious CGI.
>>11992710Any X-Men, TMNT or Power Rangers game, things like that. Maybe mascot platformers too.
>>11993713>Literally any single thing on the 3DOThe 3DO was one of the most 90's buzzword-y consoles of that generation. It was the first stand alone 32bit system released in the western markets, , it was pushing the 'multi-media CD-ROM' craze of the early 90's. It was in the middle of the live action FMV fad. It was aligned with the Sega/ Mega CD and the Philips CDI. PC games between 1993-1996 were also using a lot of live action video. The system has 3D capabilities, but it renders quads in a similar way that the Saturn does,
>>11998068>It's crazy how far that marketing campaign they did with PopTarts got them.They were huge in the early 90's, and lead the way for the backstreet Boys and N'Sync.

Crazy Taxi did get released in 1999 in arcades. But 2000 on the Dreamcast. But the original incarnation of this game is incredibly 1999.
>>11998350Crazy Taxi doesn't feel "90's" to me, it feels like the precursor of the Tony Hawk / Jet Set Radio era of the early 00's.

Based on a property that was primarily popular in the 90's. The series ended with season 9 in 2001.

Dino City?
>>11995854>Pokemon became popular in the mid 90's.Your memory is a bit fuzzy on that one. In Japan it did at least (1996), but Pokemon Red and Blue didn't come out until September 28, 1998 in America. The anime actually aired starting September 8th, before the games came here. I remember watching the show a bit first and getting hyped for the games. So Pokemon and Pokemania was more of a late 90s thing.

>>11995726Wow, this is actually a pretty concise answer.
Main protagonist has an agenda to stop all environmental polluters and clean up the world with their mass produced products. Yup, it's early 90's mascot time.
>>11992710Windows 95 era computer games and earlier. STARS! was an epic 4X game before the term 4X was even a thing.
>>11992710The most 90s game is Killer Instinct for the SNES. It feels like what it is, a kind of ripoff of Mortal Kombat infused by the 90s edginess and attitude. The whole game desperately tries to be cool and throws whatever the fuck it thinks will stick, be it werewolves, skeletons, aliens or mystical Asians. In hindsight all of it becomes endearing.
>>11998236That Kirk Cameron game immediately comes to mind (The Horde). Not because it has a 90s vibe, it's medieval fantasy, but because it could have only been made in the early 90s.FMV, bad acting, not taking itself seriously, combining elements from other games (sim-building, RPG, action, RTS) being needlessly complex. And of course, Kirk fucking Cameron.
