617th played so far Genre: Racing Platform: Playstation 1 Year of Release: 1996 Developer: Psygnosis Publisher: Psygnosis We have played several Wipeout games – including the first – and the main thing I remember is that the first in the series didn’t agree with me… and that later ones were okay, but still difficult.

603rd played so far Genre: Fighting Platform: Saturn Year of Release: 1996 Developer: Treasure Publisher: Sega The genre of fighting games is pretty broad as used here, and has a tendency to overlap with the action genre. Here it isn’t the one-on-one fighting you might get from, say, Street Fighter, but it’s closer to the […]

590th played so far Genre: Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: Neo Geo Year of Release: 1996 Developer: Nazca Corporation Publisher: Nazca Corporation/SNK One of the difficulties I’m starting to face with this list is that a bunch of games blur together. Metal Slug is a run and gun platform shooter, It looks a bit like Ghosts […]

444th played so far Genre: First-Person Shooter Platform: PC Year of Release: 1996 Developer: id Software Publisher: GT Interactive There were a couple of major steps during the development of the FPS genre that happened, it seems, in fairly quick succession.

424th played so far Genre: Action Platform: Saturn Year of Release: 1996 Developer: Hudson Soft Publisher: Hudson Soft It feels a bit weird how, prior to starting this blog, I had never really come across the Bomberman series. I’d heard of it – may even have seen a bit of it being played – but […]

394th played so farGenre: First-Person Shooter Platform: Mac Year of Release: 1996 Developer: Bungie Software Publisher: Bungie Software Some games on the list draw our eye simply because of its lineage.

349th played so far Genre: First-Person Shooter Platform: PC Year of Release: 1996 Developer: 3D Realms Publisher: GT Interactive The Duke is in the house baby!

312th played so far Genre: Adventure Platform: PC/PlayStation 1 Year of Release: 1996 Developer: Revolution Software Publisher: Virgin Interactive/SCEE While last time’s Pac-Man was a game we’d played because, well, everyone had played it, Broken Sword is a bit more of a coincidence.
