There are so many... Here are some that I probably spent the most time with:
- Master of Orion
- XCom (the original)
- unreal tournament
- Elder Scrolls Daggerfall
- Falcon 3.0
- Mechwarrior 2
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
Seven kingdoms
Rebel Assault
Simant
Happyweed
It's impossible to pick just one (even when talking specific genres)
But when it comes to fighting games, Marvel vs. Capcom and KOF '97 where among the best.

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.
I don't think I can choose between games like Alpha Centauri, Marathon, Chrono Trigger, Homeworld, Quake, Counter-Strike (I played the beta in '99, does that count?), not to mention King of Fighters '98, Half-Life, Star Craft... wow it really was the golden era of gaming wasn't it?
Subspace - Meet people from all over the world, and then kill them.
One of the first online multiplayer games. It has a very long skill curve, and a ton of variety in game types.
It's still alive in Steam as Continuum!
MGS 1 for obvious reasons.
Blitz and NBA street 1&2 were definitely some faves.
Jet Moto series.
Jet grind radio had so many hours sunk into it.
Resident evil 1-2 was absolutely terrified of these games but couldnβt stop playing and quickly became a favorite of me and my dad.
Canβt pick a favorite. But I will say the one I return to the most often is Super Metroid
Sonic Adventure.
If 1998 in Japan and 1999 everywhere else is too close to the '00s (and in the context of what SA1 meant for the Sonic franchise I wouldn't blame you,) Sonic CD.
My top favorites, can't decide which one is the best:
- Dyna Blaster / Bomberman
- Commander Keen
- Skyroads
- Hero's Hearts
Tekken 3. Late 90s but I spent HUNDREDS of hours playing it.
The Secret of Monkey Island Super Metroid Yoshi's Island
Star fox 64
