The Best of 90s Cool in Video Games - Part 1

Here’s some more 90s cool for you to ring in the new year! I wanted to finish this video before the end of 2023, but as you might expect, playing and researching a ton of games takes a lot of work. Much more than just watching a movie. But here you have it, the first part of my best of 90s cool video games. I'm excited to get to this topic because there are so, so many 90s cool video games. The leather, sunglasses, all-black outfits, dual-wielding guns, and sword fights were all over 90s and 2000s games.

Keep in mind, I’m one guy trying to cover a new topic that spans the entirety of gaming history. That means I’m bound to forget a game or two. So if I forget about one of your favorites, my sincerest apologies (or maybe it will be in the next part...). If you disagree with a placement, well, that’s just a matter of opinion. And you know what they say about opinions…

I could not have finished this list without the help of a number of online resources. First, I want to thank Retro-Sanctuary. Their top 100 lists helped remind me of a lot of games. Second, I don’t have the time or even the hardware to record footage for all of these games. I could not make these videos without the help of various longplay channels on Youtube.

And with that out of the way, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings for this channel. And with the pleasantries out of the way, time for those pesky tags:
