"Cabal (Capcom 1988) was always a bit overshadowed by Operation Wolf but I still thought it was a pretty decent "kill em all" game for its time. Originally an arcade game it was later ported for the Amiga C64 Atari ST NES Amstrad CPC Sinclair ZX Spectrum and PCs. The mission is pretty clear: Kill everything until you reach the final boss. Kill him too. The end. What made the game great was the high octane gameplay the superb music and sound effects and the fact that you could destroy buildings and other structures for each level. Total carnage. We loved this game as kids. I know it looks"

"Lemmings (Psygnosis 1991) is a very unqiue game and I feel we have never seen anything like it again since then. It was an instant hit with an estimated XX million () copies sold across all systems. The game was programmed by Russell Kay Mike Dailly and David Jones and was inspired by a simple animation that Dailly created while experimenting with Deluxe Paint. Despite its massive success Lemmings lost considerable popularity by the late 1990s which was attributed in part to its relatively slow pace of gameplay compared to games of later generations. However almost XX years later Lemmings was"

"Civilization (MicroProse 1991) is one of Sid Meier's best games ever. I still play it today and prefer it over any of the later versions (which were still great) because it has a timeless feel to it and a sheer endless replay value. The initial settings for size and age of the world the choice of race difficulty level and winning conditions; all that already gives you a vast choice of options. Combine that with your own play style (defensive offensive science focused war focused trade focused) and it becomes a truly masterul mix. In my personal list of best games ever this one is easily in my"

"Colonization (MicroProse 1994) is based on an idea similar to Civilization (published X years prior) but has carved out its own niche. The emphasis is more on exploration trade and skill development rather than expansion and world domination. The game begins in 1492. The player controls the colonial forces of either England France the Netherlands or Spain. You then have a ship and two units arriving at the new world; as the ship moves into the unknown the map is revealed. You explore the New World meet the indigenous Indians build colonies and buildings and improve and work the surrounding"

"There was a time when Bullfrog Productions were the Rolling Stones of Gaming. Populous Theme Park Dungeon Keeper Powermonger. but most importantly Syndicate (1993) left a huge mark in the 90s as an isometric real-time tactical and strategic game. It is set in a dystopian future in which corporations have replaced governments and puts the player in control of a corporation fighting for global dominance. You go on countless missions all over the world eliminate targets blow up stuff research weapons and equipment and upgrade your team of cybernetically modified agents attempting to take control"

"Populous (Bullfrog 1989) defined the "God Game" genre and had a big impact on other classics that followed in its shoes later on. It is considered one of the best selling games of all time originally developed for the Amiga and then ported for Archimedes Atari ST FM Towns MS-DOS Game Boy Mac Master System PC-98 PC Engine Mega Drive and Super NES. It received game of the year nominations (and wins) froum countless computer magazines at the time and is considered to be among the best games ever made.

"Battle Chess (Interplay 1988) was different from all other chess games for that era in so far that it didn't just have beautiful pixel graphics but also a humor and storytelling during the capture animations. Instead of other "dry" chess games Battle Chess was taking a more playful approach. It still offered XX levels of difficulty and of course all the features that other chess games did too such as tutorials guided strategies different openings and more. Chess games were never appealing to the masses of course; the topic was simply too nerdy and too much of a niche. I salute Interplay for"

"Worms (Team XX 1995) is probably best described as the love child between Lemmings and Cannon Fodder. The creator Andy Davidson noted that it was based on the 2D classic "Artillery" and said that it originally did not feature worms but Lemmings from the popular game of the same name. Worms spawned close to XX sequels and spin-offs over its XX year lifespan. The newest title Worms Across Worlds was published in 2025. Since its launch in 1995 over XX million () copies of the series have been sold making it one of the most successful game series of all time. The games are known for their"

"I know that Command and Conquer didn't start the real time strategy (RTS) genre but it certainly feels like the gold standard at least for the mid 90s to the early 2000s. Westwood Studios were an awesome team also developing Dune Eye of the Beholder Lands of Lore etc. - but of course their flagship was always the Command & Conquer series. I was never particularly good at RTS games but titles like Dune X and Command & Conquer were just so incredibly awesome it was simply a lot of fun to play them. They were easy to learn and get into but hard to master. Exactly how games should be. Westwood"

"Xenon 2: Megablast (Bitmap Brothers 1989) is a classic vertical shooter first published for the Amiga and Atari ST then later ported for Master System PC-98 X68000 Mega Drive Game Boy CDTV Acorn Archimedes and Atari Jaguar. It was their third game after Xenon and Speedball. In terms of a pure shooter it has everything you want: cool graphics excellent power-ups (to a point where it's a bit of an overkill see video clip) various levels with increasing difficulty. But what alway stood out - at least to me - was the sound. Rhythm King founder Martin Heath and Bomb the Bass headman Tim Simenon"

"As you know I am pretty fond of the 80s and 90s gaming era. One of the games that holds a very special place in my gamer's heart is Heroes of Might and Magic II (New World Computing 1996). Turn-based strategy games were at their peak and I often miss that genre. It feels like today's younger generation doesn't value this. maybe it's too slow too tedious too "basic" The intro is so very emblematic of that time and I love the wit and humor that went into the digitized speech: "Rowland was good kindly and honourable. while Archibald was. not so good". Just classic 90s intro Check out the"
