Baldurβs Gate. That game blew me away.

I don't really know what to pick so I'm going to go with something kind of obscure, "The Adventures of Bouapha: Spooky Castle". The gameplay is a little hard to explain but it kind of plays like Zelda but you can pickup upgrades for your main weapon that allows it to be thrown in many directions and it has sub-weapons that can either be found or dropped by enemies and they have limited ammo.
I actually forgot this game existed until itch recommended me "Hamsandwich", which is a free and open-source collection of updated versions of a bunch of old Hamumu Software games. There are mods available for specific games and it's available for Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android and any other OS/device that can play the online version.
Mechwarrior 2. Controlling a heavy mech was 90s af.
And I can still hear the startup sequence in my head. Reactor online Sensors online Weapons online. All systems nominal.
I've always been a Nintendo fan, and their first- and second-party catalog from the 90s is phenomenal:
Outside of Nintendo, the standout titles for me are:
Homeworld and Half Life for me: both were just awesome. I spent a very long time in both.
Zelda OoT
Super Mario World
Doom
TIE Fighter
Diablo
Super Mario 64
It's between Final Fantasy Tactics and Suikoden II. I think it goes to the latter.
The one i played the most was probably super mario world
My favorite snes game
But ocarina of time was great too.
For pc id say, red alert or diablo.
TOCA Touring Car Championship
Gran Turismo

The 90s were peak gaming for me - a lot a creative things were going on, new genres being explored. And we were spoilt for choice with all the blatant piracy.
But if I had to choose one game that really blew me away, that would be Thief.
So many amazing games to choose from such as all the D&D based ones, Morrowind, the SimCity ones and the Championship Manager games, but my absolute favorite was Fallout 2 for sure!
Flashback. There's something cinematographic in that old Delphine gem.
Shattered Galaxy, it marketed itself as an mmorpgrts. The depth of gameplay was fantastic. While the graphics look a little dated, I would still play it if there was any server population left.
Sid Meier's Colonisation, my 10 year old laptop that I replaced last year only had enough power to play that game and I put so many hours into it when I didn't have access to my main pc. It's just a shame that my new laptop doesn't upscale dosbox the same way my old one did but I think that's just because of the differences between MacOS and Windows.
(Edit: wrote the wrong game series somehow)
I liked the Marathon series for Mac and the Twisted Metal series for PS.
Syndicate and Wing Commander Privateer
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.
There were a lot of games released in the 90s. It would take 2-3 per genre to start getting close.
Picking just one single game... I guess I'll go with Fallout 2
