So many to pick... But I will choose only a few...
Age of Empires 2
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Civilization
Doom 2
Top 5
Doom and Doom II
Command and Conquer: Red Alert
Super Mario World
StarCraft with Brood War expansion
Duke 3D
Command and conquer, before Westwood was fucked over by EA
Hard to pick one but if I had to I'd go with Final Fantasy VII since it was the game that got me into RPGs, and I got some good memories of watching my brother play it when we were kids.
I remember beating Final Fantasy VII and just staring at my TV in shock. Like, mouth hanging open, mind blown.
What's crazy is for the life of me, I can't even remember the basic gist of the ending of the game today. I just remember how it made me feel.
Honourable mention to Final Fantasy 7, and Zelda Ocarina of Time. They might have been great when released, but I donβt think theyβve aged well.
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Goldeneye
Total Annihilation... couldn't get enough of it. Even playing strategy games today I desperately miss the elaborate control and mechanics of TA.
PC:
Console (NES/SNES):
SNES
N64
My favorite games as a child growing up in the 90s:
Zelda OoT
Super Mario 64
Pokemon Red
Zelda OoA/OoS
Though after later playing Final Fantasy 7 in 2003 that quickly captivated me and became really special to me. It was my first Final Fantasy I ever played and one of my most cherished games to this day.
Also, while I never played the original 90s game, I absolutely adored Black Mesa and the Half Life franchise. It was damn impressive what Valve accomplished with the original Half Life back then.
Original Unreal. Ranked #1 in the world at one point for a couple weeks. Nothing compares to that game and time for me.
Baldur's Gate
Handheld it's Pokemon red/blue, no competition.
Edit: although it's actually gold/silver if that counts (released 1999 in Japan, 2000 in North America)
Commander Keen
Age of empires 1
Pyramid: Challenge of Pharaoh's dream
Atlantis: The lost tales
Ski free
Donkey Kong Country 2
Fallout. I'm yet to play the second part and people say it's even better. You just don't see such game design anymore, I can't say modern or old one is better, both have their advantages but playing Fallout was totally worth it
Super Mario World
Super Mario Bros 3 is a timeless game and is my favorite side scroller although Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country give it a run for its money
SMW is one of the greatest platformers of all time, but SMB3 was such a huge leap forward it's hard to say
Dune 2,
Descent,
Transport Tycoon,
Starcontrol 2,
Starcraft,
Civilization,
Commander Keen,
Jill of the Jungle
Turrican 2
Day of Tentacle
Wing Commander
Might and Magic
Ufo
Metal gear solid was brilliant.
Then wipeout 2097.
Also, does anyone else remember the Music franchise of games on PS1?
Counter-Strike overtook the others by a mile in the 00s but in the 90s I probably enjoyed Delta Force more actually.
Wait I forget about consoles:
In no particular order:
THPS
Super Smash Bros.
Goldeneye
Worms
Lemmings
FIFA World Cupβ98
PokΓ©mon red/blue
LoZ: Linksβs Awakening
There are too many to mention, but the top five for me in no order:
And I'd still play any of them to this day.
Super Metroid
Final Fantasy VI (or III as it was known then). Just a masterpiece with great music, a great story, great characters, and fun gameplay.
It's pretty hard to pick one but I do have favorites among different categories.
Solo RPG - Chrono Trigger
MMORPG - Ultima Online
FPS - Quake
RTS - C&C: Tiberian Sun
Sanitarium.
Some of my favourite that bring back good memories:
Secret of Mana
Ace of Empires 2
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Pokemon Blue
Goldeneye
Descent
It was a multi player net work game we used to play at work over lunch or occasionally on weekends.
Sam n Max Hit the Road and King's Quest 5, 6, and 7. <3
Master of Orion.

Shadowgate.
