I'm setting up my MiSTer FPGA and want to prioritize a bit. I currently have DOS and Win 95 running, but plan to setup Macintosh and any other worthwhile computer platforms. Any computer platform welcome (I already have the consoles figured out). What are your "must try" game suggestions?

Edit: I just got back to this post and am pleasantly surprised by the response. I'll probably be adding most if not all of these to test since I have the space. Thank you to everyone who commented.

  • FFVII (and VIII)
  • Homeworld
  • Shadowrun (Sega Genesis version)
  • Parasite Eve
  • Wing Commander Series
  • Colony Wars: Vengeance
  • Gran Turismo 2
  • Freespace (can't believe I forgot about that one)

...I'm in my late forties, so pre-2000 was my peak gaming time. As a result the list could go on and on and on....

Parasite Eve, now here is a man who knows his SquareSoft games

Underrated. I'd be all over a remake.
