What's you're favorite pre-2000 game?

1. Final Fantasy VII & Final Fantatsy VIII

Yeah the big boys. Ignore all the shocking atrocities committed under the final fantasy franchise. Yeah, all the ones before 7 were awful. Yeah, all the ones after 8 were awful (well, 10 was okay.) Hell, even the last 25% of 8 is actually pretty bad. Every single FF7 spin-off has been shockingly gross. But take these two games, 7 especially, at face value, and you wont find anything better today. 8 was a little more reaslitic in a few ways, but 7 was dramatic. 7's story felt genuinely important and relevant. Gushy gush.

/Signed,

Not so into Fallout, but I still regard FF7 as my all time favorite game. The story was enthralling, the leveling system was sweet and simple, and the Materia system IMHO was and still is the best system for spells and such. There were tons of places to go and all kinds of crap to find. Id say the only part of the game that I didnt feel appealing was having to raise a Gold Chocobo to get the final summon. That and the game could have been a bit harder. Killing the final boss in a few rounds was kinda anticlimactic. And one of the most amusing aspects of the game is that there seems to be an online following of people that seem to believe there is a hidden way to resurrect a fallen character <_<

Any way its a great game, pre or post 2000.
