Difficult to pick a single fave. Here are the games I've spent most of my time playing back then.

On PC:

  • X-Wing series (X-Wing, TIE Fighter, etc.)
  • Star Control 2
  • Earthsiege 1 and 2
  • Starsiege: Tribes
  • Team Fortress mod for Quake
  • EverQuest

On arcade, mostly fighting games, and some side-scrollers:

  • Mortal Kombat 1, 2, 3, 4
  • Killer Instinct 1 and 2
  • Virtua Fighter 1 and 2
  • Marvel Vs. Street Fighter
  • TMNT
  • X-Men: Children of the Atom

Want to go back to the 80s? Lode Runner, Rescue on Fractalus! and Karateka. Also Gyruss introduced me to modern remixes of classical music.
