It's Doom.

It's literally a photo of id software devs. You can tell by John Romero's glorious mane.

Miss them so much

Video games changed so much during the 90s. I feel like this describes a single year.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Soundtracks have always been fire though. I still have the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack, Red Alert soundtrack, Sim City 3000, etc in my playlist.

I still listen to this music when working. Puts me right in the mood

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Maybe if the book was eight times taller

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

The book is from the game and actually only has 2 pages in it.

Nobuo Uematsu carried hard with his music. Squeenix hasn't been the same since he left the company

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Completely agree. That being said, they still have Masayoshi Soken, and he is easily in the top 3 modern Video Game Composers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

So much of my emotional investment in FFXIV is enhanced by the music, especially in Endwalker.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Optimal game dev size.

About the majestic soundtrack of Doom: That's why it's still my ringtone.

Counterpoint, some 90s games like Half-Life had a pretty good story

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

I think the meme is suggesting most games had a decent story. Not Game of Thrones level, but a decent 200 page book.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Donkey Kong Country had like. One of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Game was really hard towards the end too. One of my fav games of all time.

Doom could apply here too. ID was very much a small studio of dorks with a limited budget.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Ultima Online, for sure. Anyone who says the Minoc theme song isn't banging is drunk and on drugs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Come on Lemmy.

Its been 23 hours since this got posted.

How has Chrono Trigger not already been mentioned?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago

Because Chrono Trigger's story is more like three bibles stacked. Not a flimsy novella.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I thought that had a good memorable story?

I still remember playing the Colin McRae rally demo on PS1 for the first time in 1998 or 1999 and seeing the Impreza WRX get mud splatters on it's sides in real time while drifting through the Scottish highlands. There have been few if any as awe inspiring gaming moments since, maybe the original Gran Turismo replay graphics.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I don't remember this game much, but the sound track is a banger

Star Control 2

Wing Commander, Privateer, and Strike Commander for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

soundtrack spot on

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I never really had sounds in the 90s. Always caused my mom to get headaches. All video games were played on low or no volume.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago

You poor bastard.

System Shock 2

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Just a picture of Tim follin on the bottom right would have been enough, his music is sole weird voodoo only a Tim filling could pull of.
