Seeing the magic bus ones made me laugh. There is a Meat Canyon cartoon where the magic bus takes a field trip to... well.....

This is a real beat em up.

I’m curious, it feels like nobody ever talks about these games ever

System shock because it's simply the best 90s PC game. Honorable mentions: fallout 1, fallout 2, thief 1 and thief 2

trackmania sunrise by nadeo (2000s)
was so much better before it was bought by Ubisoft

Hundred Swords (2001)

Unreal 1, released in 1998, is, for me, the best single-player FPS of the 90s, it completely blows Quake away.

Sometimes I wish I was more of a fan of older PC games, but unfortunately I was born in the late 2000s!

Lately I've been playing Fate/Stay Night though, and I've been really enjoying it a lot. Although I'm not sure if Visual Novels count as Games (I think they do,) but I also see them as books at times (especially when the text is written in a way that I have to slow down and think.)

There's this game called "Painkiller" which I honestly forgot how I even discovered it in the first place, but I do have it on steam and I played it. I haven't played it in like over a year since if I'm being honest here, I was actually pretty scared! It was pretty fun though, and I do think fondly of it. Hopefully I'll get the courage to beat the game one day.

I feel like this is an obligatory mention, but I'm a fan of Touhou Project, and two of the games I have played have been Touhou 6 and 7, which were released in 2002 and 2003 respectively. I feel like there isn't much to talk about though, since Touhou is one of the more popular series. It's maybe not as popular as Wolfenstein or Doom if we're being honest here.

Hooooolllyy shit I haven't thought about Gizmos and Gadgets for years. If there was a 1995 way to Platinum a game, I certainly did, there. Haha!

My parents had a Mac at the time, so my PC game pickings were slim, but there were a few genuine classics:

and naturally

Painkiller is one of my favs, I need to replay it one of these days. Very cool themed environments too.

I am absolutely NOT a PC gamer, especially these days with PC gaming having gone full digital only and being heavy on the Steam DRM. However I have played and enjoyed some older PC games from that particular time period. I really like classic LucasArts games such as:

and these classic games too:

Thief: The Dark Project is my favorite game I think.
