Sonic CD. The crazy patterns and colors in the art and the super early-90s music (either soundtrack) all comes together perfectly.

I'll probably set up a Pentium II rig this summer for the ultimate in 90's PC gaming. I already have the computer scoped out, I just need to go pick it up from a relative some 200 miles away and order some better parts for it, and I managed to score a really good CRT a few months ago.

Man, that game was the shit.

Except for the ecosystem level where it was literally just a MASSIVE sliding block puzzle. Fuck that shit.

It's a point and click some guy is making that tries to embody the feeling of weird 90s point and click games. He says he aims to hopefully finish it this year.

Dude...

Back when I was a kiddo I had a demo for this game on my blocky-ass laptop. I would play the demo all day long, it was amazing.

That and a Star Wars chess game which I don't remember the name anymore.

What part of the 90's? There was a large difference between the early and late 90's dude.

Anyways, if you're going for a general sense of the 90's I would say Comix Zone
>>
This about it this way. In 2000 there were still making PS1 games. In 2010 MGS 4 had already been out for 2 years.
As technology rapidly increases our communication infrastructure, culture is exceedingly evolving through those exchanges. The 90's gave us the internet man, shit changed a lot.

Nothing is more 90s than Comix Zone

It is the 90sest

Sonic CD more so. It focused on art than gameplay
>>
>>376037968

Gonna have to go with this as a global answer, since the 90s in Japan and the US were somewhat different (in Japan it felt more like the 80s and that arcade fighting game look while in America it was about rad shit and pastel bright colors). So this looks like a good balance of them both, the one-liners, the colors, the gameplay, the arcade feel, and the cartoony gaijin ninja turtles look, like pottery.

To me Resident Evil 2 does, in a number of ways. In addition to Leon's NSYNC haircut, the police station just looks a lot like an administrative building would in the 90s in a number of ways. The furniture, the items scattered about desks, even the floor tiling and the general appearances of the structures in the building just seem really 90s to me. Not to mention running into Will Smith

Then as long as we're talking about Capcom games, I feel that all of the Street Fighter Alpha and Marvel fighting games give me a fix as well.
