Five games from the 90s that are ripe for revival - AllAboutTheGames

"As you get older, it's astonishing how the passage of time seems to speed up, and events that you imagine as 'recent history' were actually 20 years or so ago.

The 90s was arguably one of the best decades for gamers to be alive in. Kicking off in grand style with console revivals, and ending on a high note with the emergence of powerful (for the time) GPUs in PCs, there truly was something for everyone.

It's insanely difficult to cherry pick the best games from an era so chock-full of classics (and one that doesn't feature nearly enough in those daft "top 100 videogames of all time" lists that seem to consist of games that aren't fit to lick the boots of some of the classics of the 90s) so forgive me if I've missed your favourites but here's a tiny, tiny selection of the stuff that I think is ripe for resurrecting for today's gaming generation.

I think from a historical perspective I would change Spyro for Grand Turismo. It's the franchise that made the PS1 look like an absolute unit. Other than that, I can't argue with the rest when it comes to games that defined the PS1.

And to be honest, there should be space for Tekken 3, Wipepout and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in order to round out the PS1 identity as the machine to own at the time.

With Tomb Raider 2, Silent Hill, Symphony of the Night, Tenchu, and Soul Reaver as backup contenders.
