I played it for the first time about a month ago, and I was surprised by how well it could still stand up against a brand new FPS. Honestly, if that game was released for the first time today, with better graphics but the same level design and gameplay, I would still consider it one of the best games ever.

I am now going to buy Half Life 2 just so I can play that.Sir Pysco Sexy said:
Goldeneye was the best I played in the 90's. For me it added a whole new level of gameplay & realism to what I had played before, and it made sense to me instead of wander corridors, shoot monsters, find red key to open red door etc.
Plus it has commies and RL modern weapons, Perfect Dark didn't speak to me in the same way. It wasn't until Cold Winter on the PS2 that I found a a game that surpassed it for me personally.
For some reason I din't like Half life, although I didn't play it until a few years after it's release. I guess I just prefer killing people.
I'd have to say Goldeneye because that was the only one I did play in the ninties because I was born in the ninties.
I take the question in the absolute sense of what I'd still be interested in playing if I saw it now for the first time. Not "what was the most significant game" or "best relevant to its time".
Single player: Aliens versus Predator
Multiplayer: Counter-Strike
Honorable mentions go to Team Fortress, Gloom and Action Quake.

South park.
NO, I liked perfect dark and the fact you could spice up your maps with bots. I would get four friends then set up a whole bunch of bots that only slapped, it was like left4dead before it even came out.

Half Life by a country mile, console gamers didn't even know what they were missing. Goldeneye was terrible in so many ways.
How can I get myself a copy of Duke Nukem 3D, the greatest FPS of the 90s?
*gets time machine*
Ohhh...I went forward by mistake. Now I'm in 2025...And Duke Nukem Forever still isn't out.

I never was a fan of this genre but there was one I bought on the used shelf of blockbuster for $5.
Tenka or I think it was fully called: Code Name: Tenka
I don't think anyone knows about this game. It actually had a story, a reason for him to do the things he was doing, some puzzles to figure out (but honestly nothing hard, just "go there, activate this, go back to the previous room, click - done" type of ordeal, and not all boards had those, maybe four.
It had a gritty "slum and dirt" type feel to it, in a universe that was future but worn down (sort of reminded me of the 'Aliens' world) - too bad you never got to see most of it -just the interior of buildings and a few dark streets (dark because of draw distance) but I did feel the black gave me the feeling that things weren't working right or that technology was 'run down' despite being, what we would consider, future tech.
It's not going to win any awards by today's standards but I do think it's worth it to play.

doing a quick search on amazon found it:

I honestly think the music is also a unique thing about this game - really sets the mood and, at least to me, never got boring.
