They aged super nicely, and 2 is that perfect mix of stealth and rooty tooty missions.

In my eyes it was always more fun to play than MGS.

>>3532959
2 is amazing, and I still hold that my child self could be MLG pro in it

DOn't remember if it was 1 or 2, but on the very first level I just keep tazing and burning dudes for an hour before continuing with the game.

>>3532959
Syphon filter 2 has 100x better mtiplayer than goldeneye prove me wrong

>>3537729
lol I'm the guy mentioning a hypothetical MLG scene for syphon filter 2 and most deff not samefagging.

On another note say what you want about it's sequels doesn't take away from the game itself. There are plenty of series that have gone down the drain thanks to sequels

I don't know if you could call it legend, but try Double Strike/Twin Eagle for NES.

It looks stupid but it's a great game, the controls are perfect, difficulty is a bitch but you have noone to blame but yourself.

2 players are recommended, it's a long game.

I recall Code Name: Viper being a hot-shit game back in the day, yet nobody talks about it now. I recently got a copy of my own a few months ago and it's indeed great. Just the right amount of challenge, great music, and somewhat unique gameplay that adds a bit of stealth to its action-platforming. I think it might be up your alley, OP.

Done by the same minds behind Bubsy.

PC Engine is the only "completed" version that Kojima oversaw so purists say that that is the intended version.

The Sega CD is of interest being the only one with an English localization which is pretty good for that era.

For me though the game worked best on the MSX2 or PC88 despite it's lack of a 3rd Act since the 3rd Act that was made up for the PC Engine release was just like Disc 2 of Xenogears, nothing but rushed exposition scenes

>>3532959

I consider Syphon Filter 1 to have one of the best, if not THE best introductory level of any game.

These series was basically third person GoldenEye for the PS1, but with higher production value. I miss objective-based shooters so much.

>>3545097
When I got my first PC this came with it along with MDK and Fifa 96. Tons of other shovelware but I was always puzzled why they would bundle such a decent game. Unfortunately it came with no instructions or anything, I literally just got a spindle of discs and being the naïve 8 year old I was, didn't have the slightest clue what I was doing. In fact, I remember my uncle got Nuclear Strike on PS1 around this time and I would spend hours playing that also with no idea what to do.

I thought about it for a bit and then decided to go for Brian Lara Cricket (1999) for the PS1/PC. Most people here I'd imagine are Americans who don't know much about cricket, but for those that do I still think this is still the greatest cricket game of all time (not that the competition has been particularly great).

>Top notch (though occasionally glitchy) commentary
>The only game that I feel nailed the ambient sounds and atmosphere of a test match
>Smooth shot animations, batsmen look around the ground and practice their shots in between plays
>Genuinely hard to play in bad weather conditions, pitch visibly changes colour after rain
>Going for big six-hit shots requires precision timing, meaning risk/reward balancing instead of FIFA scoring multiple screamers from 40 yards with ease
>Batsmen more likely to get out in the start of their innings, so more measured play is required in the early stages in order to build up a good score before playing more freely
>Shit tons of game modes
>You can set the computer to play itself and just leave it on in the background
>Loads of glitches, but falls into that bracket of glitchy games where it actually makes the game more interesting rather than game-breaking or annoying

The only parts where it falls over a bit is the bowling, which can get a bit boring, and the fielding which I swear must have only been added in as an afterthought as it is so broken. Only Don Bradman Cricket has come close in almost twenty years.

The fact that only the second game has a translation is pretty disappointing, considering this is proto-Phoenix Wright in a lot of ways.

It was more of the same, there's some cool guns like the x-ray gun, explosive shotgun and some others experimental guns.

Best levels are the Afghanistan flashbacks and the gold mine infiltration.
Costa Rica is great too.
