The third original book from CD-Action takes readers on a nostalgic journey through the golden era of video gaming—the 1990s. Spanning 400 pages of brand-new content crafted just for this volume, Games You Must Know: The '90s (and Around That Time) offers a comprehensive and colorful celebration of a pivotal decade in gaming history.


Inside, you'll find:

  • A curated review of nearly 90 console and PC games from the '90s and nearby years

  • Thematic articles on game genres and industry trends

Whether you're a veteran gamer reminiscing about the titles that shaped your youth or a newcomer eager to understand what made '90s games so captivating, this book is a treasure trove of retro gaming knowledge.


The '90s marked a transformational period for the industry: the leap into 3D, the evolution of design philosophies, and the boom (and bust) of entire genres. Divided into seven major chapters, the book explores tycoon sims, first-person shooters, classic RPGs, horror games, real-time strategies, fighting games, and more—highlighting the era's rich variety and long-lasting influence.
