Much like any other type of media, the games you grow up with undoubtedly shape your taste in games as an adult, and the mid to late 1990s was a prime time for video games, when the industry was growing like never before. Great games were releasing everywhere, and audiences were flocking to them.
Born in August 1999, while I was technically alive for four months in the 90s, I wasn’t exactly out in the world experiencing the culture of the age. As such, I consider myself a 2000s kid, meaning I missed out on this era filled with future classics. While I can go back and play them now, I can’t experience them with fresh eyes, unbiased by the attitudes of the modern age.
