FIFA 2000
This is where things started to change. I can’t exactly explain why or how, but this game just didn’t feel right for some reason. Here we are again with another FIFA game—it feels like I’m spamming FIFA articles at this…

FIFA 99
A safe haven for people who love “orta – kafa – gol.” If you know, you know. I love this game. For me, it’s a great alternative to World Cup 98. It offers a wider selection of teams and features.…
Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit
First Need for Speed game with police chase. The game was released in 1998, just a year after Need for Speed II. The difference is significant. First, the game modes: Knockout, Tournament, and, of course, Hot Pursuit, where multiple police…
FIFA: Road to World Cup 98
A.K.A FIFA 98. Another excellent FIFA game from Electronic Arts. This game was pretty much all you could ask for in a football game. It featured team and tactics management, league games, and World Cup qualification rounds. The gameplay was…
Need for Speed: Road Challenge
Released as Need for Speed: High Stakes in the US, this game was sandwiched between NFS III: Hot Pursuit and NFS Porsche 2000 (Porsche Unleashed in the US). I guess that’s why not many people paid much attention to it.…

Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri
Yet another game where I have absolutely no idea what’s going on. Even before I started, I knew this would be the case. I tried using the automated gameplay option to progress as far as I could in the game.…
Alone in the Dark
A well-known horror-adventure game. A good story, crippled by the technology available at the time of development. The game starts with our Mr. Moustacheman telling us about receiving a letter saying there’s an antique piano at a nearby house, and…
Age of Wonders
I really wanted to love this game, but I couldn’t. Why? Because I suck at it. There are some games I just can’t understand how they work. It doesn’t matter how many in-game tutorials I check or gameplay videos I…
Age of Empires
WOLOLO! Sometime in late ’97 or early ’98. My cousin and I were looking through demo games on a CD from a computer magazine in their guest room, where the computer was set up—and there was no heating. While our…
