Most memorable for me would be:

Panzer Dragoon Zwei - the sunlight trickling through the forest level and the huge bosses, amazing graphics, and haunting soundtrack made this game killer.

Twisted Metal - bought PSX for this game. I actually bought this game about a week before the actual system.

Twisted Metal 2 - improved on the old game tenfold and took out some of the useless characters. Shadow is still the best car ever in the series, if they did **** him (her) up later in Black.

Assault Rigs - excellent Battlezone clone but with so much more. This game was an adventure and excellent for it\'s time.

Medal of Honor - Better than Goldeneye. Excellent one player mode that made me laugh alot and alays got me excited to play.

Driver - excellent trailblazing game. Still fun to this day. Pity the sequel sucked. Hoping the new one is as good as the first.

Virtua Fighter 2 - beautiful, fast, and fun. Me and my brother put too many hours into this game :)

X-Men Children of the Atom - large characters, excellent supers, and home to the hardest boss ever: Magneto.

Sega Rally - Another classic trailblazer.

NiGHTS - introduced me to analog sticks and showed me the greatest controller ever made...to this day.

Killing Time - Still the only game that has ever really freaked me out. In one part you are in the sewers and you here this moaning, a really freaky low moaning. Silent Hill wishes it could do what this game did.

that\'s about all I can think of when I think of memorable games of the era.

NiGHTSIt was the first 32-bit game I owned.  Extremely original, innovative, but too short.  I still played it 4 months straight striving to get A\'s on all the levels.  

Where\'s the sequel Sega?  Don\'t make me write another letter!

Runner ups: Zelda: OOT, Banjo-Kazooie, Final Fantasy IX

Final Fantasy VIII and IX- I never really got into 7 as much...don\'t ask me why

Zelda: OOT: Incredible game, my favorite for N64

Goldeneye 007: I spent countless hours playing the multiplayer stuff with friends.  No game was as fun with 3 other people

Mario 64: The first N64 game I had, and an incredible game overall.  It was huge, it seemed, and I spent a ton of time playing it.

Nights: I have to agree, this was a great game.  The earlier masterpiece of this era that I enjoyed.

Definately Final Fantasy VII. I might have just completed it a few weeks ago, but this game must be one of the best I\'ve played, ever!

Since Sonyfan likes part 8 better, I think I might have to give it a try. I\'m on FFX now, but after I\'ve completed it, I\'ll make sure to check out for part 8 and then 9. :)

Easily the most memorable is Final Fantasy VII.
Then comes Metal Gear Solid.

-Super Mario 64

Was the flagship game of the Nintendo 64, which displayed next generation technology.

-Turok 2

Probally the only game that really brought the N64 to new heights in the visuals department. Made good use of the expansion pak, and was the game that was forever mocked with having a fps issue.

-Goldeneye

This is what made Rare gold. Yes, I know they had a past history in the SNES era, but this was a huge success that sold N64\'s for a long time.

-Donkey Kong 1,2,3 (SNES)

These titles really made the SNES shine, again another Rare classic.

- Sonic Adventure (2)

Dreamcast\'s flagship title as well. Displayed various technalogical advancements. Sonic 2 raised the watermark even futher.

Aight man, good choice, just don\'t flame me if ya don\'t like it. ;) FF8 is the kinda game where you either love it or hate it, there really isn\'t an inbetween about it. FFVII is still best in the story department, so don\'t expect FF8 to blow you away. It really falls apart in the 4th disk IMO... but still good overall.

Anyhow, since you can probably buy it for the same price as you could rent for a few days I\'m jus gonna go ahead and recommend you buy it. It\'s a good RPG.. but dosen\'t fit in all that well with the FF series. One piece of advice... when you get a Guardian Force capable of refining magic from item and then refining low lvl magic into higher lvl spells.. rely on that for your spells. Don\'t waste time drawing unless it\'s something really high lvl like Ultima. On disk 3, go to Cactaur Island and lvl up your GF\'s to get the abilitys much faster.

Mario 64.
Goldeneye.

I never was very into PSX during that era. I\'ve become broader in tastes and have gotten into PS2 and whatnot now, though. But I am perhaps the pickiest gamer in the world.

I\'m guessing I\'m going to be in the minority here, but as a guitar player/musician, my most enjoyed game from the 32-bit era was Mr. Bones on the Saturn. Really cool game concept with tons of different gameplay styles. And pretty good music, too. I mean how could you not love a blues guitarrist who comes back to life as a skeleton and takes out an army of evil skeletons :)

Mine would have to be Little Big Adventure2 which was on PC.....that game was increadable, both innocent and twisted, lovely and mysterious...you should all play it (although, it\'s very hard to find nowdays)

Woah thanks for the tips SonyFan. I didn\'t see it until now... anyway, I\'ve just completed FFX and I\'m on my second way through the game, but I can already say one thing for sure: Square is becoming more and more my favorite dev... I\'ve only played 2 FF as of yet, but I can\'t wait to experience the other parts. I\'ll start of with FFVIII and see that I can follow your advice. Thanks again. :)

Associating FFX with increasing your love of Square sounds terribly wrong.

FFX in 2002 is a poor man\'s RPG. I never want to go back to THAT kind of battle or storytelling, especially when other games do it so much better. Square loses more and more of my respect with every game they release. Chrono Trigger is still one of my favorite games of all time, but they have never advanced after that.

no way, spectre\'s special didnt do enough damage

shadow could sit behind a wall, and just cause mad havoc

my favorite spot in the whole game was in the lava level where u fight minion on top of the building that held the 3 homing missiles.  i would sit up there forever and just bust people with shadows special when they came around the corner, and drop napalm from the heavens  :)

You\'re missing out on the best part of TM: B. Well, at least you still got the killer Intro by \'The Rolling Stones\'....right?

Perhaps you forgot about Sonic R and Sonic 3-D Blast?

Both on Saturn...

Not to mention Sonic Jam, but it was more of a compilation of 4 Sonic games but it did include a 3-D world for you to explore.

You mean 5...

Sonic CD and Sonic & Knuckles...

S & K was just so innovative in that it allowed you to play as Knuckles on your old, existing Sonic 2 and 3 as well as was a whole game by itself.

Has any other game done that?
