A look at 100 obscure PC games that were released in 1995!

Note that in breaking tradition with the previous 5 videos in this series, this video includes games for Windows '95.

Many of these games were "bandwagon jumpers" - lots of first person shooters ("Doom-likes") and multimedia CD-ROM based point and click adventures ("Myst-likes")

A few of these titles were actually fairly well-known at the time (e.g. "FX Fighter") - but have completely faded into obscurity and remain mostly unheard of for people who weren't actually PC gamers at the time.

Also note that Korean software developers were really taking off; they were bringing quality console style gaming titles to PC - most of which were never released in the West, unfortunately.

Overall, the production of games was becoming more professional; even shareware games were much more polished than shareware titles from a few years ago. And of course, the advent of Windows 95...

And if you've read this far, congratulations! Please have a steam key for your troubles. If you claim it, please post a comment saying what it was!
