In 1991, DMA Design (later known as Rockstar North) released a puzzle game that would become one of the most iconic titles of the decade: Lemmings (DOS).

In 1995, Blizzard Entertainment released Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, the sequel to Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. Building on the RTS foundations of the first game, it expanded the conflict between Humans and Orcs beyond Azeroth, adding new units, new races, and groundbreaking gameplay features that cemented its place as one of the greatest strategy games of the 90s.
In 1994, Blizzard Entertainment released Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, a game that not only introduced the world to the land of Azeroth but also helped define the real-time strategy (RTS) genre.

In 1994, legendary game designer Chris Sawyer gave the world one of the most influential simulation games ever made: Transport Tycoon Deluxe (TTD).

In 1997, Bullfrog Productions and the legendary game designer Peter Molyneux turned the strategy genre upside down with Dungeon Keeper (DOS).

In 1995, Raven Software and id Software unleashed Hexen: Beyond Heretic, the spiritual successor to Heretic.

It wasn't just another shooter—it was a bold experiment that carved out its place in gaming history.

When Pixar released A Bug's Life in 1998, it quickly became a family favorite, charming audiences with its story of courage, teamwork, and one inventive ant named Flik.

In the late 90s, the PlayStation library was filled with everything from action-adventures to kart racers. Nestled among them was a more laid-back but equally entertaining experience: Vegas Casino (PSX). This virtual gambling simulator gave players the chance to enjoy the thrill of Las Vegas without ever leaving home—and without risking real money.
In 2000, the zany world of Hanna-Barbera's Wacky Races made its way onto the PlayStation 1, bringing classic Saturday morning cartoon antics to the kart-racing genre.

In 1998, MediEvil arrived on the PlayStation 1, blending hack-and-slash action with gothic fantasy and quirky humor.

When Wacky Wheels launched in 1994 for DOS, it brought the kart-racing craze from consoles to the PC with a hilarious twist.
