90's Feel
What are some games that really feel like the 90's? Things like Startropics, EarthBound, etc.

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.

Area 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.

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.

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.

The 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,

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.

The 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.

That 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.

I would go one step further and say Killer Instinct the arcade machine. Pure early 90's Silicon Graphics pre-rendered video and sprites.

This. I was 5-6 years old when Pokemania was in full swing. It was a late 90s thing outside Japan.

it's a bit of a challenge to hit the second guy, and colors don't invert on the Maximum Force version because the video has been re-encoded.

You may have thought you were playing a 3D game back then, but it's all pre-rendered video and sprites :O

I disagree. I'm 50 and the 90s felt like the 90s right away. Total Recall was the last hurrah of the 80s and people were excited to move onto the new decade. To me, 1991 feels culturally further from 1988 than 1994. Watch some movies or tiny toons or something from the early 90s and it's so different in tone than even stuff from the late 80s

The Simpsons are definitely a symbol of 90s pop culture. Back when they weren't associated with sneed memes, or bad seasons. It was still this weird yellow freaks cartoon for adults that were also a sensation with kids via bartmania.
The "Sing the Blues" music album is a staple of any 90s kid music CD collection.
Video games were more of a mixed bag, with the Konami arcade game being the only real good one. But I still want to give credit to Bart vs Space Mutants for having one of the most iconic vidya Simpsons moment with the first level.
Also the weird atsmosphere of the game, with OC aliens because Kang and Kodos didn't exist yet.

Death trap dungeon:

- female character with anti-woke design.

- 90s play station graphics.

- some gore execution to the enemies(such as mortal kombat).

You are a faggot zoomer who will never experience 90s gaming without filtering it through the lens of the modern culture war.

None of it was anti-woke you fucking retard, it was boobies and violence because they knew their audience.

This, games like that are very late 90s and feel more like what was to come in the early 2000s with more refined grafics, more sophisticated styles and higher resolution games. focus has much more shifted to "cool, gangsta, street, hiphop, skateboarding", where early ninties "coolnes" was more or less limitied to animal mascots with attitude, like sonic and something like toejam and earl.

Gonna give a non-conventional answer here and say MGS1. The game was representative of the peak post-Soviet collapse, pre-9/11 "End of History" era political zeitgeist. I mean it's literally about soldiers trying to start a war because they have no purpose anymore. Boy, if only they waited a few years!

You're making Ecco sound was more interesting than it actually is. I've seen people convinced that this is somehow the Megadrive's answer to Super Metroid, which makes it even more disappointing.

that's because new(ish) culture was still being created. Post 9/11 is when REmakebootimagining shit began. I really feel sorry for zoomers. Their entire "culture" is basically "here's a stained and smelly T-shirt your older brother wore for 6 years and then outgrew."

I was so pissed because my parents got me a Genesis instead of a SNES for Xmas. But I knew better than to complain so I spent the entire Xmas vacation playing Altered Beast and picrel. The moment I discovered you could buy war elephants and decide if gladiators should be executed with thumbs up/down I was hooked on both strategy games and Roman history.

I guess my parents knew what they were doing. Genesis had an excellent library for strategy games, and all my friends who had a SNES grew up to be drooling anime retards while I did rather well for myself.

This hunk of shit is really late 90s. There was a shift in public interest towards stuff with naturalistic 'earthly' vibes (like Global Village Coffeehouse) after the excess of the 80s (colorful Memphis Design and Laser Grids). I think The Fifth Element film exemplified that. Maybe Snapple's Elements drinks too.

Night trap sums up the early 90s perfectly:
>The nonsensical idea that new CD-ROM technology is best used for live action FMV games
>the moral panic that went all the way to congress
>The hair and fashion in the game is right out of a 1992 sitcom.
>the painfully low color pallet and pixelated video looks far worse than a laserdisc game from 10 years earlier
>sega CD launched with this and sewer shark as their flagship titles to sell the hardware, with some very cringe commercials on tv

That's partially their fault. It's why many modern games are all cookie cutter games.
