The Best of 90s Cool in Video Games - Your Mom Hates These Games

Here they are guys, the very best of 90s cool in video games. Your mom hates these games… Actually, many people who loved these games are probably moms and dads now. It was fun to dive back into the world of dark, mysterious characters with trench coats, combat boots, leather, and sunglasses. All with a healthy dose of techno and sword fighting. My definition of 90s cool is pretty fluent. Initially I was focused more on the action side of things, but recently I’ve begun to include some pieces that were less action focused but fit the aesthetic. I hope it was worth the wait.

Again, sorry if I missed a series you really enjoyed or expected to be here. Keep in mind there’s no “90s cool index” which means I will definitely miss some games. I’m still discovering 90s cool games, movies, and anime on a weekly basis, which makes me sad that I missed them but excited for the future of this series! Next time we’ll get into the 90s cool anime. There’s a metric crap-ton of them. So it may take me a while to get there, but I’ll be back. I want to say a big thank you to everyone out there who makes longplay gameplay videos. Without you, this video would have taken me a year+. Maybe I’ll invest in a better rig to capture some footage myself in the future.

And now for those pesky tags…
