21 games that marked childhood in the 90s

Ah, the nostalgia! In the 90’s there were a lot of ~cool~ school supplies, several films that marked the era and fashion trends that transformed the days of children and teenagers. In addition to playing cards, dominoes and the Game of Life, we also really liked going to the house of that friend who had a video game and spending the whole afternoon playing with the controls. How good it was and we didn’t know!

1. Crash Bandicoot (1996)

Although it wasn’t the brand’s first release, the marsupial became famous even with the Bandicoot series, originally made for the PlayStation 1. And it was the biggest ~fight~ to see who would play first!

2. Final Fantasy VII (1997)

Considered the main game in the series – which has 15 more titles -, Final Fantasy VII it is also one of the best electronic games ever produced. And word is out there that a new version for the PS4 is about to be released!

3. Super Mario World (1991)

Also known as Super Mario Bros. 4the game had nine worlds and 96 existing exits – all to rescue the Princess Toadtool (or Peach), kidnapped by the terrible bowser🇧🇷 The good side of games nintendo is that you could always play with your brother. And usually he/she was the Luigi🇧🇷

4. Street Fighter II (1991)

If you were a fan of ~wrestling~ games, you know that the street fighter lasted for many generations: the first game released for the arcades it was in 1976! Even with eight players, the coolest thing was to be the Chun Li, the only female character in the game. The hand even had a cramp from pressing the buttons so much to release the specials!

5. Mortal Kombat (1992)

beyond the street fighteranother dueling game between players was also very popular: the Mortal Kombat🇧🇷 The most fun of it was discovering the easter eggs, the secret items such as characters, music and the like. Like its counterpart, it also only had one female character: Sonya Blade🇧🇷

6. Sonic The Hedgehog (1991)

Sega’s launch conquered thousands of fans all over the world – who, by the way, still love this game. Who can forget that amazing song?

7. Resident Evil (1996)

From the first title, resident Evil it was that game that we loved to play, but we were scared to death! Incidentally, like many other games of the time, it also served as an inspiration to become a movie story.

8. California Games II (1990)

Although the first version was released in 1987, the game fell in love with fans even in the 90s, as it was originally made for computers – and only later was it adapted for video game platforms. Therefore, the second version also became fashionable with the modalities of skateboarding, surfing, “embassies”, rollerblading, cycling (BMX) and frisbee. The face of California!

9. Donkey Kong Country (1991)

The truth is that the nintendo has a great participation in childhood gamer: when did the donkey kong country, everyone who knew the universe of the brand wanted to play. And grab some bananas, of course!

10. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Times (1998)

The continuation of the saga of Link arrived for the Nintendo 64 towards the end of the decade, but the series debuted in 1986 for the NEShaving appeared in the Super Nintendo (1991) and Gameboy (1993).

11. Daytona USA (1994)

What was even nice in Daytona USA it was the feeling of “driving” a car with a steering wheel, gearbox and pedals – even if nobody knew exactly what the gears were for.

12. Super Mario 64 (1996)

The flagship of the new console also revolutionized the gaming market of the Nintendo, being a great driver of video game sales and a novelty in 3D that was very well accepted.

13. NBA Jam (1993)

If you liked sports and, more than that, North American basketball, nba jam it was exactly that: it allowed you to become the greatest players in the 1992/1993 league.

14. Silent Hill (1999)

Two words perfectly define what we felt when playing: psychological terror. And that made us even more addicted to it!

15. Diablo (1996)

RPG is a very classic type of games, both consoles and computer, but nothing compares to diablo🇧🇷 In fact, fans had to wait almost six years for the final version – thankfully it was worth it!

16. Tomb Raider (1996)

No, Angelina Jolie wasn’t the star of that very entertaining 2003 action movie. Lara Croft is so successful that, in 2006, she was named the “Most Successful Video Game/Video Game World’s Best Adventurer Hero” by the Guinness Book🇧🇷

17. Gran Turismo (1997)

GT, as it became known, was that game that always had a fight, because you never wanted to get out of control!

18. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater (1999)

Skateboarders on duty, we dreamed of doing the ~ most radical ~ maneuvers and beating our little friend in the points. Other than that it was pretty cool to be Tony Hawk for one day :).

19. Crazy Taxi (1999)

It sounds like a story from a movie (or from real life), but the coolest thing about Crazy Taxi was having to get passengers to their destination as quickly as possible. That always meant breaking one (or several) traffic laws here and there!

20. Spyro The Dragon (1998)

Long before Mama Khaleesi came into our hearts, another dragon was already king in this land: the spyro🇧🇷 Already at that time, the game became so popular that, in terms of sales, it was tied with the crash bandicoot, as console icons.
