Some games released in 2000, alone:

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Counter Strike

Deus Ex

The Little Mermaid II: Pinball Frenzy

Shadow Warrior, PC

Might and Magic III

F19

B-17 (intellivision)

Pitfall

Myst

Gauntlet (arcade 4 person game)

Final fantasy 8, it is the best, no sarcasm.

I would give a testicle for a proper remake, expand the Laguna story, a more populated world, even more battshitery

Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap - Master System

aka:

• Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap - Game Gear
• Dragon's Curse - TurboGrafx-16

Total Annihilation

missile command, arcade

It just barely makes the cut off since it came out in 99, but Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is my favorite strategy game of all time. It even managed to get a Linux port and you can get it on GOG. I was excited when Civ: Beyond Earth was announced that it would be a true successor, but sadly it wasn't even close.

Phantasy Star IV

Wonder Boy: Monster Land, Arcade, 1987

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (PS1)

So many games that I even upvoted that are still absolutely amazing haven't really aged perfectly control- or gameplay-wise, but Oddworld could be released today and it would still be perfect.

Star Flight, 1986(?). Huge universe, multiple alien races, reputational, on two 360k floppy disks, and a great story too.

Suikoden

Puyo Puyo Tsu (1994)

Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar (C64)

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Edit: nevermind, this was already posted. I literally did a search on the page first and it didn't match for some reason.

Day of the Tentacle - PC

asteroids, arcade

Shinobi 3, Sega Genesis

Out Run - Arcade

Zork
