It's 1999 again. What games do you play? (2024 edition)

[Gandalf]

Name 5 games you'd have fun with if 1999 happened again.

 

[Lemming42]

The Wheel of Time
Urban Chaos
Kingpin
Drakan: Order of the Flame
Probably some bullshit like Darkstone

But the big one would be Unreal Tournament. My actual late 1999 (including New Years', I think?) consisted of playing it all night every night, so I guess I'd do the same on a weird time-travel-induced revisit.

 

[__scribbles__]

Jagged Alliance 2 and I wouldn't have the time or will to play anything else

 

[Hellion]

Heroes of Might and Magic III
Age of Empires II
Gabriel Knight 3
C&C: Tiberian Sun
Medal of Honor

We have to go back

 

[Konjad]

Baldur's Gate
Unreal Tournament
Fallouts
Half-Life
Age of Empires
Dark Colony

 

[Axioms]

Can I go back to like 2002 instead?

Majesty 1
Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom
Diablo 2
Civilization 3
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy
MoM
Imperalism 1

 

[Falksi]

and others


There is too much of them to just list five titles

 

[std::namespace]

tomb raider 3 was hyped as fuck in the mainstream...

 

[Blutwurstritter]

I'd spent some time with games that I neglected back then although they looked interesting,

Mechwarrior 3
Battlezone II
Homeworld
Total Annihilation: Kingdoms
Star Wars: Jedi Knight

 

[Nutmeg]

So is it January 1st 1999 or December 31st 1999?

Do you want games released only in 1999 or games released prior to 1999?

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

not sure the meaning of the thread is clear to me.

in 1999 i'd be playing... x-com, deus ex, system shock 2, jagged alliance 2, freespace 2. hell, i still do.

 

[DemonKing]

Baldur's Gate
Half Life
Thief: the Dark Project
Jagged Alliance 2
Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight

 

[Hagashager]

Are we the age now, or what we actually were?

If I'm reverted to my age at the time: Ocarina of Time pretty much exclusively. It was that or Turok and I'd already beaten Turok several times.

If I'm my current age: Baldur's Gate, Half Life, System Shock 2, Thief, Rugrats: The Movie interactive computer activity center.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

FF 8
Age of Empires 2
Tony Hawk
Homeworld
Gabriel Knight 3

 

[JarlFrank]

in 1999 i'd be playing... deus ex

So in 1999 you'd have time travel powers?

 

[Nutmeg]

in 1999 i'd be playing... deus ex

He'd have access to the dev builds.

 

[Icewater]

Unreal Tournament for multiplayer, Half-Life mods for single player
