Nobody mentioned Psychonauts? It is among the "easily missed" titles, if I've understood the situation quite accurately, yet an excellent and stylish platformer that no-one should miss out on.

Wtf? Psycho is barely from the past mr Toxic. I though this was a true retro list, but whatever. Psychonauts is great if you ignore the bad controls and at times shitty camera.

As this has migrated to 'easily missed' et al, then Pathologic is worth a mention. Primarily for being Russian as fuck. Also, surreal as fuck. While the English translations are quite wonky at times, the denizens of this forum are busy applying their collective brain meat to a grand undertaking that should (hopefully) remedy much of these issues. Hopefully before 2013.

Regardless of the dated graphics, and despite the occasionally indecipherable dialogue (which, I should note, are often wonderful in an entirely different sense), I found it to be well worth playing to completion. Three times. I leave it to the discretion of the reader as to whether this was simply masochism on my part.

An exceptional sound track, too.

Pseudo-Edit : There's also a reasonably comprehensive play through, if you haven't the fortitude. Seems promising in that, unlike several prior attempts, it may be finished. Eventually.

He was asking for "Must Play" games from 98 to present day. I'd say that includes Psychonauts.

As Pathalogic has been brought up, I'd also recommend its more recently released cousin Outcry.

What was that game called were you were part of a cop squad in helicopters that had jetengines instead of props? Set in a future kind of world much like in The Fifth Element...

G-cops or something. It was pretty good anyway!

It was from the very early days of hardware accelerated graphics, like in the VOODOO gfx cards days!

What about the old school Command and Conquer games? Dune 2000 was in 1998, Tiberian Sun was 1999, and Red Alert 2 was a 2001 game as was Emperor Battle for Dune. Also Relic had made a lot of good games, Homeworld and Homeworld 2, and Dawn of War and its expansions were great. All of the Total War games are plain fun.

Recently though I've taken a liking to Sins of a Solar Empire.

I started playing this through again and something got fucked with the base game cause enemy shield regen is way too high and friendly AI way too retarded.

I managed to get Diablo II working again, somehow. If any of you guys wanna co-op, I'm down.

I often get down to play Diablo 2, install it, fire up a game and.... just stop playing after a few minutes because it did suck. Act 2 and 3 were fucking annoying. Especially the pygmees of the third act.
