Alone in the Dark 3 was released 30 years ago, on maybe the 16 of maybe March 1995. (I've been completely unable to confirm its release to anything more specific than being in 1995.)

Someone providing more evidence to my hypothesis that low-fidelity game graphics put a lower workload on the brain to process what it's seeing compared to games filled with lots of small clutter to create more realistic environments.

Which is what I believe to be a major factor in how 90s games really do "feel" objectively different to play from 2010s and onwards games.

Rebel Assault II was released 30 years ago on 24th November 1995.

This is not a great game, even when it came out. I would not recommend this game. But I did have a lot of fun with it back in the day. When I had played through X-Wing and TIE Fighter several times and needed more Star Wars to play, this did do the job.

And the box cover is absolutely awesome! One of my favorites of any games.

Still just blown away that John Calhoun, the guy who made Glider (and several other games in this post on Mac games I'm researching and writing) is still active online with his blog/site engineersneedart.com and he's put a bunch of the old Soft Dorothy stuff over at GitHub: github.com/EngineersNeedArt/So.

Also, shout out to @setsideb who wrote about John and his projects a while back here: setsideb.com/john-calhouns-los

Finally working a bit more on the post about old Mac Performa games. I started it around this time last year. Takes a bunch of research, etc, is why, I wanna have emulation links, etc. And of course I play each a little. It's a blast, really. If you want me to tag you when I post it, lmk here.. I still have the older post where I'd talked about it and those folks are in, too- but just to be sure I don't miss you. Hope I finish it soon (eventually)😂

While compiling a list of classic and influential videogames from 1994 to 2001 for my #90sGames series, I discovered that many games I assumed to be huge classics in 1998 seem to have been largely forgotten since then.

Simon the Sorcerer (1993)
Gabriel Knight (1993)
Discworld (1995)
Rayman (1995)
Broken Sword (1996)
Syndicate Wars (1996)
Schleichfahrt (1996)
Master of Orion II (1996)
Privateer 2 (1996)
Shadows of Riva (1996)
Turok (1997)
Carmageddon (1997)

@VaporVenger 95 and 96 have some neat gems.
But I think it's 97 to 99 where things get absolutely wild.

I already have my release date lists prepared, and there's a classic coming out every week in the late 90s.

I didn't think that of all the #90sGames I'm posting for #1995InVideoGames, #Worms would be the most popular.
I think it already has more favorites and boost than all the other games so far combined. 😆

Worms was released 30 years ago on 17th November 1995.

The Dig was released 30 years ago in November 1995.

General opinions of the game seem to be that it's a decent but not remarkable LucasArts point and click adventure. But the visual and audio presentation of this game have long made it one I really want to play, but I still never got around to.
