Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Goldeneye
The Shining Force series
Earthbound!
Brave Fencer Musashi! It’s a fun RPG from squaresoft. Very much a hidden gem. The music in it was streets ahead.
I only played the demo but it was great! Now that I remember it I may try to get my hands on a copy… thanks for sparking a memory!
Do it, it is legit worth it!
I acquired it recently and plan to do so… looks like it held up well after all these years other than maybe a little platforming jank, but that’s par for the time!
Aha yeah some of the platforming was definitely questionable. Overall though it definitely holds up! Taketh care on your journey!

Truly was, incidentally Satellite Reign is a spiritual successor to it, and it’s pretty fun.
Baldur’s Gate. That game blew me away.
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.
Total Annihilation… couldn’t get enough of it. Even playing strategy games today I desperately miss the elaborate control and mechanics of TA.
Pretty sure you can get a modern copy of TA. Either on steam or gog.
And if you like the general style but want to broaden your horizons a bit, Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance and Planetary Annihilation: Titans are both good options!
Never played that, but how about Supreme Commander? That game still beats out any other RTS imo
Super Mario 64
I liked the Marathon series for Mac and the Twisted Metal series for PS.
