What are some western developed games made before 2000 that you liked?

From Americans or Japanese people? I have a friend into pinball like that and his basement has 8 pinball tables and 4 candy cabs. It's not that uncommon. Pinball seems to have persevered and there are still spots to go to in Michigan (I'm sure the same in other states), but what would interest me more is seeing Japanese people into American pinball.

Yes I meant Japanese people into American pinball, having tournaments and everything. I was surprised.

There is so little space these Japanese goobs (joobs?) had to turn their entire home into an arcade. Thanks for proving my point.

lol. I guess you had a point?

Yes, their homes are so small they had to turn them into arcades, so technically it's now an arcade, not a home.

I dunno, considering the otaku problem and low birth rate in Japan, might as well spend your life savings converting your home into an arcade.

I see nothing wrong with this.

The Adventures of Batman & Robin on Genesis. I had this game as a kid but man it was wayyyy too tough for me back then. Might still be. But watching a longplay of it now and being reminded of the absolutely incredible graphics. It's so hard to believe this was made by non-Japanese, the level of polish is extraordinary. It turns out the developer, Clockwork Tortoise, Inc., only made this game and the Sega CD version, which was a completely different driving game. A shame such a talented group of people never went on to make something else together.

Honestly, until today I thought it was developed by Konami like the SNES version was. The quality was that good.

Lots of good pre 2000s output from Black Isle, BioWare, Looking Glass Studios, etc.

PO'ed is actually a really good shooter for example, people just need to get better with the pad for all these PC ports in the 90s on consoles, thats the real issue with this 90s disparity. With PO'ed there wasnt even any PC port originally, PC snobs and modern console gamers end up gate keeping themself because they refused to strife with shoulder buttons and other whining lol.
