Pre ‘96
Live a Live
Console: SNES
Release: 1994
Genre: RPG
HLTB: 19 hours
The HD Remake
Live A Live has you choosing between 7 different characters all taking place in different time periods. Also, the game uses a grid turn-based RPG system. Each setting is vastly unique which keeps this game fresh. It is almost a collection of short story JRPGs that are all put together, or someone had a bunch of ideas and wanted to try them all. Therefore, it creates a unique experience.
Live A Live was a game that was also stuck in Japan for years. Recently it was brought to the West with a beautiful HD remake on Nintendo Switch and Steam. Nevertheless, if you want to play the original, there is a great English translation patch that you can download below.

Ship of Harkinian with HD Textures
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a classic. Surprisingly, it hasn’t won GotM yet, but here we are. You play as Link who is to adventure on his journey to stop the evil Ganondorf. The game is full of great dungeons and an open world to explore. On the whole, this is one of the most influential games at the time of release.
In addition, Ocarina of Time is made better with the unofficial source port called Ship of Harkinian. This makes playing the game with many enhancements available for PC and Android! The port improves the game in every way imaginable with updates like a free camera, 60+ fps, the ability to upload custom textures, and much more. Unquestionably, if you have a problem with the original, this fixes it. In brief, read more about how to do this here.
