1995 was a good year for video games with the release of the Sega Saturn and the Playstation 1. But it was an incredible year to be a PC gamer. Games like Warcraft and System Shock were released, monumental games that would shape the modern PC gaming world.
"The award-winning "System Shock remake", based on the iconic 1994 sci-fi action game, has today received its highly anticipated version 1.2 PC content update — adding an expanded ending, a new female hacker protagonist and dozens of gameplay enhancements." - Nightdive Studios and PLAION.
"PLAION and Nightdive Studios are today very happy and proud to announce that the award-winning "System Shock remake", based on the iconic 1994 sci-fi action game is coming to consoles on 21 May 2024, featuring an expanded ending, a new female hacker protagonist and more!" - Jonas Ek, TGG.
With System Shock Pinball, Zen Studios’ treatment of Nightdive’s critical darling remake of one of gaming’s all-time classic horror games is easily one of the best tables to ever grace Pinball M and Pinball FX.
1995, huh? I remember Warcraft! Before WoW.
Heck everything game related back in '95 was just cool even though I was young. Now for some out of this world question. If a time machine existed what gaming year would you go back to(could be consoles or pc time eras)?
I would go back to '87 to play The Legend Of Zelda again for the first time. Also I would like to go back to '96 & '97 for when Goldeneye first came out & FF7. Also '98 for Metal Gear Solid. And lastly '85 when the NES first came out to US. Heck I wasn't even born then lol.
I would go back to 1999 now that was a fun year, I'd get a Dreamcast again
1995 was good...
but 1998 was the best year ever for videogames. Check it.
Half-Life
Starcraft
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Resident Evil 2
Metal Gear Solid
Tekken 3
Parasite Eve
Unreal
Banjo-Kazooie
Rainbow Six
Baldur's Gate
Thief
Grim Fandango
Xenogears
Fallout 2
Final Fantasy Tactics
Spyro the Dragon
Absolutely untouchable lineup of future classics. I still play many of these games on and off to this day. I doubt we will ever see a year full of so much awesome again. You'll note that only 3 of these games are sequels to existing franchises all the others are original recipe. Don't get me wrong, 2010 is gonna kick ass there is no way around it. But I doubt we will see so many future classics release this year.
I had forgotten about 1998, Half-life, Starcraft, Re2, and Thief were all amazing games. I remember pouring hours into Half-life
