Blasto (PS1) (1998)

1/2
The game opens with a large sign saying "Welcome to Uranus" floating in space near a brownish celestial sphere shrouded in darkness (I bet it's Uranus *ba dum tss*) above some flat platforms and a stylish glass dome, all looking very very Looney Tunes like, specifically the spacey cartoons with Marvin the Martian. A bodacious red-haired babe smilingly waits to be rescued by our hero. Like everything else, her outfit is very 50s retro-futurism coded. A Pikmin-looking green alien with a dangling antenna with a red bulb on top is shooting at you with his fancy laser gun, looking very stylish in his pink astrosuit. He's standing in front of what looks like a glass wall next to a street light. Very noir and abstract at the same time, this street in deep space, going nowhere. Our hero, Blasto (voiced by Phil Hartman no less) in an intense encounter with an alien, set on a lava covered planet with floating pieces of land scattered here and there and a tree that's somehow survived in this hellscape. Good work, tree! The clear night sky is visible on the horizon with a large planet with a ring orbiting in the distance. How anybody is able to breathe in these environments is anybody's guess.

Fighting Force (PS1) (1999)

1/2
A gosh darn mercenary, hero and Leon Kennedy lookalike Hawk Manson doing the highest of high kicks while wearing tactical gear almost worthy of a young Big Boss. His astronomically high kick is currently making contact with the head of one of the clone army thugs (led by The Knackmiche Corporation, try googling it, you'll only get Fighting Force 2 results, now THAT'S some good SEO) who are wearing blue ninja uniforms and girthy metallic codpieces. This particular blue ninja that's currently being kicked in the noggin has a bright flash over his head, as if to signify that maybe instead of good crotch armor, they should've invested more in getting a helmet or something. An octagonal hallway with a large bulk head at the end with very warm golden yellow/orange lighting, seen from the first person. Hawk is extending his arm and doing the gangsta sideways gun thing, aiming it at a poor scared enemy that's literally holding his gun in over his face in fear, pooping his pants. The words KEEP - CLEAR are display on both side walls of the hallway. The thug obviously didn't follow that advice. A closeup of our hero wearing a jungle camo version of his tactical gear (he changes outfits a few times during the game, pretty neat!) with a jungle, some ruins and a sandy beach behind him, with pale blue skies and the sun shining brithly above. Hawk has come to Ibiza. It's time to party. Another first person, side gun look, this time at a sexy female ninja assassin, with short blue hair, bare arms and showing a bit of cleavage (as was the male-gaze-oriented-female-character-game-design fashion of the time) and wielding a pretty sharp looking katana. She's just casually standing there under a large doorway, stepping out of the darkness, hand on hip, looking all like "what's this guy gonna do, shoot me?" That's exactly what Hawk did.

Legend (PS1) (1998)

1/2
One of our heroes, Axel, looking like a young Ray Wise with a narrow backwards-spiky black hair, sporting a nice armor that properly shows his bare shoulder, the other one covered hefty pauldron. He's carrying a pretty hefty axe but the blade is so thick and kinda chunky/bloaty that it looks more like an inflatable toy axe. Just a very naked pig man doing pig man things. He does have nice diapers with a huuuge belt holding them up (thank god). Mr. pig man is standing on some kind of wooden bridge in front of a castle and he's looking kinda drowsy with his eyes closed and his head turned in deep sleep or disgust, not sure. Another thug, this time a spitting image of one Arnold Schwarzenegger with a warrior helmet, some nice purple pants and brown boots. He's very awkwardly holding a poleaxe almost as if he's holding a broom, trying to shoo off a seagull or something. Another one of our heroes, the warrior Tara. She's got long-ish blonde hair tied in a ponytail, wearing some kind of a warrior dress, almost like a Chinese qipao dress (similar to Chun-Li's for example) with short sleeves, fully black with bright red rims. She's also wearing thigh-high white leggings for that extra 90s female character design. She's in a very battle-ready stance, about to gut the first thug with her very wide and flat sword. However the most striking feature is her face that looks like a flat surface stuck with a photo of a woman's face that was then painted over in Microsoft Paint for some extra eeriness.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (N64) (1997)

1/2
The titular Turok, trying to target the top of your temple. It's a scene from the intro where Turok, with his shirtless bod and impeccable aim (even in thick fog) is drawing an arrow with his trusty bow, aimed right above the camera. One of the enemies in the first level, a jolly looking fellow, showing off his pecks being all shirtless with arm pads and brown poppy pants and aiming at you with a machinegun. His face is clearly a photo of one of the developers, tacked on a few polygons and kinda squished a little bit with some red paint on his forhead and sporting a dumb smile with a few missing teeth. It's probably one of my favorite enemies in the game. Turok looks upwards to the sky as a tall tall tree fades behind the clouds. A few vines hang scattered around and a neat looking palm tree, and of course the thick blue-gray fog that permeates the entire game. A dark rocky scene with a lava pool covering the entire floor and a few purple triangle pickups are floating above, adding even more to the surrealistic look of the game. Turok is holding some big ass high-tech gun, and nobody to shoot it at. Aww :(.

Gekido: Urban Fighters (PS1) (2000)

1/2
Travis, a private detective hired to find a kidnapped girl is roaming the streets at night with his red hair, white shirt and jeans and shoulder gun holster, doing a squat and charging up his electric powers to land a devastating blow to crime. One of the bosses in this decrepit neighborhood is Generale, a buff dude with a blue beret, eyepatch and moustache, small black shirt and red pants. I had to zoom in a bit even though the gun in his hand is huge, it just looks like a gray cylinder so I don't know if it's a pipe, a cigar or a gun (it's a gun). Another boss, Kobuchi, a muscley weirdo with a receding hairline, a devilish grin and a face texture that's a bit too stretched wide so it makes him look like a humanoid monster with a mask with a man's face printed on it. He wields Wolverine-like claw blades on his right arm that also extends pretty far to deal a little bit of tickle damage. A closer back shot of Travis on a more Japanese looking street with a few thugs running at him. By the way, none of these screenshots of this game show the actual camera perspective which is a more classic sidescrolling brawler, so it's kinda nice seeing this game with it's sometimes impressive graphics being seen from a different perspective, almost like a more modern third person shooter.

Jet Moto (PS1) (1996)

1/2
A wide four-lane race track littered with over a dozen hovercraft bikes set on a wonderful tropical resort with some cliffs and a large hotel building in the distance. Smack in the middle is the starting line with a huge ad for Mountain Dew which also sponsors the racers so a bunch of them area wearing the green red and white suits and decals on their hovercraft. Kind of a funny thing how the LOD (level of detail) works in this game, since there's a large number of racers on screen, the LOD is very aggressive and pops in very close to the player so at least half of the racers are in lower detail but they're made of just a couple of flat planes and textures so it's very jarring. A racer zooming off a ramp and flying through the air over a sandy beach with palm trees and red buoys designating the edge of the track. The ocean stretches into infinity and you can see a few fluffy white clouds scattered around the clear blue skies. Man I need a vacation. A closer chase cam behind a racer in a stripy yellow and black outfit, very bee-like, zooming over a swamp with the water splashing under it (the splash textures are pretty effective especially for the PS1 era) with a few broken and rotted trees scattered about and it's all nicely reflected onto the surprisingly clear (though black) water of the swamp. A towering ad for Pepsi World just over the next racing gate. A racer rushing through a curvy oval tunnel lit with yellow night lights, looking very nice and moody and in stark contrast at the end of the tunnel is a glimpse of the snowy mountain range the race is set on.

Apocalypse (PS1) (1998)

1/2
Our hero, Trey Kincaid, voiced by none other than Bruce Willis (who provided his likeness for the character as well, here on full display in all his action hero glory. Kincaid is standing in a narrow hallway in his short sleeve brown shirt and green pants with a grenade belt around his thighs and a sort of metal exoskeleton/boots around his lower legs. He's weilding some kind of futuristic machinegun. Kincaid aiming at the crotch of a hulking robot guardian with a sort-of a Transformer kind of face, a large yellow pauldron over its right hand which is just a slab of incoming pain, and a large yellow star on his chest. Is he the sheriff of this town? Probably, with a tin star the size of his head. A look at a city street completely split open with a river of lava underneath it, like the city of Venice but IN HELL! Kincaid is standing on the roof of a taxi hovercar with a few other taxis flying in front. The design and idea is very obviously inspired by The Fifth Element, another Willis joint. One of the four horsemen of the titular apocalypse, Death, seen from a very low step-on-me angle. Death looks very ethereal, basically a glowing skeleton with a ghostly cloak, giving off a genuine Scare Glow vibe to him and his right arm turns into a scythe at the end. He is voiced by Joe Frank, the voice of the computer in Galaxy Quest.

Ape Escape (PS1) (1999)

1/2
A science facility overrun with apes... who've escaped! They're very silly and have bulging googly eyes and metal helmets with red alarm lights on them. They're confused, chaotic and ready to cause mayhem! The Professor (that's his name, just like The Doctor) and his granddaughter Natalie aka Katie aka Natsumi depending on where you live, tied up to the wall, looking shocked while witnessing the inhuman atrocities the apes are committing off-screen (I'm guessing they're just flinging poop at each other). Our hero Spike aka Kakeru, with his spiky hair, red and white shirt and blue shorts showing off by doing a one arm handstand. The scene is set on a grassy meadow with some rocks and cliffs in the distance with a big rocket with Specter's face decal on its side (the main apetagonist) lodged in it. A single cheeky monkey is standing on a rock, looking all dandy. A closeup of a Zooka, an ungodly monstrosity out of time and space. It's basically a googly-eyed green thing with puffy pink cheeks and a sexy, sensual puckered mouth. We only really see its head as it pops out of the ground to shoot rocks out of its sexy, hot mouth.

AD&D: Iron & Blood: Warriors of Ravenloft (PS1) (1996)

1/2
Luthor the Paladin looking like he's got lines of coke sprinkled on his eyebrows and nose (it's just pure white pixels) and weird enlarged pupils like a YouTube thumbnail from a few years ago. He's sporting a white and blue armor with golden crosses (well they're really plus signs, he's really into math) and wielding a huge zweihänder. This game has a very peculiar, early PS1 western dev style where the characters have unusually high polygon detail on unnecessary things like the pieces of the sword handle or even Luthor's hair, where the artists were probably used to different high-poly techniques and not taking advantage of the texture work to carry some of the detail. Because the textures also look extremely plain and amateurish compared to other PS1 games of 1996. Growing pains and learning how to make the most of the hardware has certainly contributed to this game having pretty gnarly art direction. Balok the Black Knight vs Togo the Dwarf set upon a platform of concrete and and red runes on its sides with meadows, mountains and a huge castle looming in the distance. Balok is an evil dude with spiky dark armor and a helmet with two front protruding horns, very much like the classic Marvel Loki design. He's wearing a shield and a vampiric blade that controls him. Togo is your classic dwarven warrior with red hair and beard and a massive hammer and a curious helmet with one big horn protruding from the front, almost like a Rhino. Just two horny guys looking deeply into each other's eyes. Sasha the Werewolf, doing a scary squatting "I'm gonna get ya" stance with her claws under the pale moonlight. First of all, I love the little twist of having the werewolf character be a lady for once. Second of all, she's got like a stripy brown shirt showing her cleavage and best of all, she kinda looks like she's wearing lipstick in this shot (although that might be dude to some polygons overlapping and being more visible due to the high resolution. Shinesta the Elven Princess. I think this is her alt color with brown hair and green outfit (she's blonde with a purple colored shirt and pants). She's an elf lady sporting a quarterstaff and has a thirst for knowledge of the arcane and magical. Also apparently she's not an actual princess and "the title refers to her stubborn and haughty personality". Well excuuuuuse me, princess!

Shadowgate 64 (N64) (1999)

1/2
This game is dark and murky with subdued colors, caves, dungeons, and castle hallways so it's got a certain vibe and look throughout all of the screenshots here. Though this one has a bit of color as well, we see an antechamber of a castle (probably?) with red and blue tapestries, a chandelier and a central hallway leading deeper into the castle a a door on the left (there's one on the right as well, off screen). An ancient crypt with ornate walls with a big stone plaque with some blurry symbols or runes on it. There's a passage with some stairs behind the plaque and a big shield crest above showing two intertwined dragons. A hulking brute carrying the hero's unconscious body on his shoulder, walking through a dungeon hallway lit by lanterns on the ceiling and just about to through your sorry ass into the brig. A dungeon sewer with some broken and bent metal grating on the ceiling. I could've said this is like an underground river or something but that ain't water and it ain't fresh.

Einhänder (PS1) (1998)

1/2
The Einhänder, a spacecraft vaguely resembling a bird shape with two huge thrusters on the top and grabby grab legs, in this case carrying a large cannon. The ship is flying through an urban nighttime cyberpunk backdrop with tall skyscrapers and lit windows, with a large banner on the side of one building that says "Legend of ⭐ Super Powers". Not sure if the star goes after "of" or "powers", but there's a star in the corner. Maybe just to add to the coolness of the PowerPoint presentation style of the banner. A couple of yellow and green hovercraft with their emergency lights on, possibly cops, flying over a highway at night with the dim red lights of the city in the background sparkling under a cloudy night sky. The Einhänder rushing head on into a bipedal tank boss with a green and brown military camo paint and the number 09 on its side. Could this be... Metal Gear? Another boss fight inside what looks like a high-tech industrial tunnel with a giant spider bot clinging on the side walls with its spidey legs. It's got that yellow and black stripes construction site paintjob, armed with cannons and missile launchers and green neon V-shaped lights on its legs. The neon lighting suggests this might be a gamer spider-bot.

Akuji the Heartless (PS1) (1999)

1/2
A closeup of the titular character Akuji, a voodoo priest and warrior, having his heart ripped out (on his wedding day!) and cursed to wander the underworld, which is made of old ruins with blue and green lighting (very moody). Akuji wears a peculiar spiky bone mask and is voiced by Richard Roundtree aka Shaft. A closeup of Kesho, Akuji's bride to be, looking as blue as a daba dee daba die (she's spiritually projecting to the underworld to warn Akuji). She's basically just wearing a bikini with some arm and leg wrappings and a loincloth with three little skulls on it. Peak 90s female character design. A dungeon hall with large paintings of creepy skeleton things. Rocky cliffs surrounded by a dark green mist and a a massive ornate blue and silver portal structure with a statue of one of those aforementioned creepy skeleton things standing there with open arms.

Heaven's Gate (PS1) (1996)

1/2
Jin vs Dulffer (with a backwards R like a Russian "ya" sound so it's more like Dulffeya). The battle is set on some kind of blue and yellow marble platform with the same texture for the low ceiling (lots, but not all, arenas in this game have low ceilings) and you can see waterfalls and old ruins and shrubs set on a dark background. Jin is our hero character with full on denim vest, exposing his chest and arms and jeans, red headband and spiky black hair, doing a left hook with an explosion at the end. On the receiving end we have Dulffer, a skinny pervy weirdo covered in leather and metal pieces and spikes and wearing a metal muzzle akin to Hannibal Lecter's mask. His main weapons are two knives that he likes to slice people with. A closeup of Jin. His denim jacket is kinda reminiscent of Kenshiro's leather jacket, with even more exposed pecks. A closeup of Dulffer. His bio says he's in the British special forces, is very good with knives and loves killing people with them. Charming bloke. He gives off major Voldo from SoulCalibur vibes. A closeup of Kyosuke looking very dastardly with his handsome evil face and flailing his tonfa (batons basically) around. Apparently he's a good guy and has a family and kids and whatnot according to his bio but he looks like your typical handsome anime villain with long-ish hair, beautiful long eyes and an evil smirk. He's dressed kinda like Alucard from Symphony of the Night - the stereotypical anime look of a German 18th century gentleman.

Crusaders of Might and Magic (PS1) (2000)

1/2
Our hero Drake, sporting a brown and blue medieval shirt and leather armor and wielding a mace (the medieval kind). He's also got a very distinct patch of white hair on his right side. Drake has been captured by the undead army and imprisoned in a dark castle so this is his attempt at an escape. A long tall castle hallway with torches lighting up the walls and a couple of skeletons waiting to be crinkled to death (again). They're very fancy for a pair of skeletons, wearing some leather shirts, crotch cloths and some tied up fabric for their arms and legs. Much fancier than your run of the mill naked skeleton. Celestia, leader of the Crusader Knights standing at her throne with her hand on her hip all "you don't impress-a-me much" like. She's wearing a very videogamey impractical female armor showing a lot of cleavage and skin. Also her hand on her hip is releasing pink sparkles around it, I don't know what that's about. Maybe it's a hidden compartment/button on her armor that does this sparkly magic just because it's cool. A large wooden castle door guarded by an evil dark knight (not Jedi related), fully covered in sick black armor, wearing a helmet with a red visor, all Robocop-like, holding a sword and shield. His lower armor design kinda looks like he's wearing a garter and leggings made out of metal. Hot.

A closeup of the main hero character Eiji, sporting a white and red uwagi (the jacket part of a martial arts uniform), a white headband and signature brown spiky hair. Eiji's weapon of choice is a katana. A closeup of Kayin, a red-haired, silver jacket wearing friend and rival of Eiji. He's the Ken to Eiji's Ryu. Kayin wields a traditional longsword. Sofia, a Russian whip-wielding private detective with a dominatrix-style latex leotard and blondish-green hair with a ponytail. Also the most Windows 95 skybox with blue cloudy skies can be seen in the background. Fo Fai vs Mondo, seen from the side of Mondo's back, looking at Fo. Fo is an elderly Chinese magician with Wolverine (or more adequately Vega's) claws who is secretly a cold-blooded serial killer. You wouldn't guess it from his hunched posture. Mondo is a Japanese ninja warrior with a naginata as a weapon (long metal pole with a curves blade on one end).

Castlevania 64 (N64) (1999)

1/2
The spires of Dracula's castle loom high beneath a black night sky with a massive blood red moon dominating the skyline. One of our heroes, Reinhardt Schneider, the most German ginger man there ever was, seemingly running past some big wooden beams in what looks like a big sawmill structure. Reinhardt, in the forest, in the rain, holding his hand by his chest, perhaps his hardt can't take all this rein falling, it's his only weakness. That's probably the worst quip I've written yet. Reinhardt surrounded by a couple of human-sized skeletons as well as a huge towering skeleton boss with a hole in his skull where possibly a third eye was once socketed.

Opie One Jalopy doing a squat while swinging his laser saber down through a Roger Roger Droid, exploding its crotch. Jar Jar Blinks looking very angular and as confused as ever with a laser gun pointed at him by Tholothian Jedi Master Adi Gallia, wearing her traditional Tholoth headdress with like white tentacles or something. Jedi Master Winded Mace getting ready to destroy a couple of Droidekas. Jedi Master Plo Koon (that's just his name, I didn't alter it this time) being ganged up by a rare blue-skinned Rodian and an Ishi Tib ruffian (I'm just reading these names from the wookiepedia I've no idea).

1/2
A weird angle from like the side of the bed (I said as if I didn't move the camera there and take the screenshot myself) of a children's bedroom at night, with blue wallpapers with stars and crescent moons and shelves with all kinds of toys and books on them. One of our heroes, Ruff, a blonde child shaped like a Lemming with spiky hair, wearing purple jimmy jams and holding a candle (for whom I do not know), looking angry and shooting psionic rays of light while an anthropomorphic clock is standing right beside him, looking at the paranormal occurrence in complete disbelief, and mind you, he's a sentient clock called Wakey Wakey. A blue-lit dungeon with an old wooden casket, a yellow vase, a mirror and between them partially obscured is a painting of two green-skinned children with glowing yellow eyes and white hair, very Children of the Corn. A blueish-green dungeon with a green fuzzy orb creature with disembodied legs (kinda like Rayman) and colorful yellow, purple and pink striped horns. It's got a mean look in its eyes and a derpy mouth with a single sharp tooth in the middle. It's the kind of creature design you'd expect from a five year old, or an Amiga platformer.

Pandemonium! (PS1) (1996)

1/2
A closer look at the level select screen with our two heroes, Nikki the acrobat and Fargus the jester with his stick puppet named Sid. The characters run around little dioramas to choose the next level, and as this is the beginning of their journey, they are standing next to Skull Fortress which in this case just looks like a normal castle with some towers and blue roofs. Nikki doing her acrobatic jumps on, you guessed it, floating watermelons which are apparently a good substitute for your run of the mill generic bouncy platforms. Fargus the jester standing on some sort of glassy or icy platform, seemingly set deep inside some kind of crypt or underground city. Right in front of the jester is a derpy looking red spider with hairy legs and shiny black eyes. From this perspective and because of the low polygons his head is kinda like Pacman shaped doing a big ol' :D. Fargus standing at the edge of a huge platform with roman pillars and bisexual lighting, looking down at a purple orb of light sending lightbeams upwards and being all bisexual.

A red 1997 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe (C5) driving through a covered bridge (you know, like it looks like a barn you drive through) with rays of light coming through the windows on the right side. Riding the road through a North American rural town with colorful autumnal trees and green hills all around you. There's a nearby white house with a gray roof on the right side of the road. I thought it was a church at first but perhaps not? A dystopian looking industrial city at night, with some ruined walls and a tall wooden fence littered with dirty, smudgy posters. A yellow 1996 Ferrari 550 Maranello (F133) (I think?), driving through a beautiful pinewood forest road with a lovely wooden house/resort with a triangular roof sticking out on the right side. Very pacific northwest.

A verily vaporwave scene, a park with green grass in brighter and darker horizontal stripes, towers and houses seen in the distance, ancient Roman columns surround the central circular site and a big frog man guy is looking at you, ready to pounce. A barren volcanic wasteland with a very derpy red dragon standing in the middle. He's quite large but has a silly smile and googly eyes and is friendly shaped. Alas, he's a boss in the game so Robbit the robotic rabbit has to slay this dragon. Some dark and gloomy underground crypts with a weird demonic looking maneater plant thing, it's red with black squares and some spikes that kinda make it look like it has devil horns and small tusks. Oh and googly eyes, everything in this game has googly eyes. A magnificent panorama of vaporwave wierdness. The ground is filled with a circular pattern with some odd buildings in the distance, kinda looks ilke a circus. A purple fog covers the horizon and the skies above with some clouds scattered about. Underneath them, swirling pathways and floating islands are scattered about. Closest to you is a very low-poly giraffe creature made of think candy cane-ass legs, a trapezoidal body and long neck with a diagonal yellow and brown stripy pattern and a prism for a head. It kinda looks like a Chris Foss spaceship. Oh and googly eyes, can't forget those.

Lifeforce Tenka (aka Codename: Tenka) (PS1) (1997)

1/2
This is a first person shooter so all of the screenshots show the same hand gripping the sideways handle of the futuristic machinegun, though it looks very cool. You only have the one weapon in the game but the upgrades morph it into different modes (kinda like the service weapon in Control) and the power and ammo are displayed on the top of the weapon, years before stuff like Doom 3, very cool! I also just realized the protagonist's name is Joseph D. Tenka and he's fighting Trojan Incorporated and their genetically engineered army. In this screenshot we're looking down a staircase of an apartment building with a floating enemy drone looking right at you. A small cube room with a giant cylinder generator with ominous green light/goo/energy emanating from within. Looking at a very chunky looking robot bio-weapon guy with guns for hands through the sci-fi lens of your visor, triangulating the enemy and such. A closeup of yet another hunk-a-chunk of an enemy lit very dimly but you can definitely see his abs, massive shoulder pads and Megatron-like face and helmet.

The disembodied floating head of one Mario Mario, looking bedazzled by a floating sparkling star in the upper right corner. A hallway leading to a wooden railing and a painting beyond that depicting a colorful island with a tower and blue skies. Mario looks at the camera with his arm stretched out, like he's inviting you into the castle. It's not even his castle, he's just taking advantage of the fact that Peach is not there. The colorful green fields, hills and dirt roads of Bob-omb Battlefield. Mario is standing on the road next to a giant Chain Chomp, the black orb with sharp teeth and eyes that have seen things you wouldn't believe. Mario standing in front of a wooden cottage in Cool, Cool Mountain, next to a puddle with a big mama penguin staring into the distance, contemplating the ways she'll disembowel Mario when she sees him next. Mario looks understandably cautious.
