The 90s? Ok here are some for Poland
Earth 2140 - rts
Teenagent - adventure game
The Prince and the Coward for Windows - another adventure game
Gorky 17/Odium - turn based strategy "horror" rpg
Mortyr - wwII fps about time travel
Jack Orlando - 30s based detective adventure game
The games listed here were published in English as far as I remember and were at lest decent back then. I haven't listed the dozens of adventure games that weren't released outside of the country. There's also a decent amount of Amiga/Spectrum titles but mostly in Polish.

Well, I could write some pretty obscure stuff like ZX Spectrum and other Soviet computers games or early 90s DOS games, but that's not what former USSR is known for.
So here come late 90s games: Vangers, Hard Truck, Z.A.R. (Russia), Warcraft 2000 (Ukraine).
There were probably other games too.

shit, was just about to post that.

So was Imperium Galactica, the first Last Ninja (disputed), S.W.I.N.E., and I think one of the recent Heroes of Might and Magic games. I think so was Crysis Warhead.

And the team who did Ecco also had a bunch of other games - Three Dirty Dwarves, some Star Trek game, Jurassic Park Lost World, Tiny Tank, and Contra Legacy of War.

All Warsaw pact countries got their first video game exposure through Dendys, many didn't have computers or modern consoles since they were proven quite expensive. This is especially true for Balkan states in which computer clubs are still more popular than home computing,

I seriously doubt Donkey Kong Country was written in Cornwall. What the fuck is this even a map of?


Try masking the boxcovers with the area of the country of origin itself, so that the viewer can still see all the national borders. That and some better placement of the covers and titles might clear up what this is even supposed to be.

Rising cost's of development and 90s piracy killed many creative euro devs. Literally the only developers that still exist from then are those that made international releases and console games.

Add to the Russia:
Allods 1/2, also known as Rage of Mages ('98 RTS+RPG, really good IMO)
Konung series (picrelated, basically Diablo with a party)
Dungeons of Kremlin ('95 Wolf clone)
Arkona (http://www.old-games.ru/game/download/1835.html) - a decent Myst-like quest.

Too bad Space Rangers is not retro.

Shovelware tier, just like its sequel, not really worth it, also OP add Gromada to the russian list, pretty neat twin stick vehicular combat game.

Crazy cars III

Also, Team 17 games.

Russia:
Sea Dogs is 2000 so idunno if it counts. Regarded as best pirate sim series by some.

Pilot Brothers - a '97 gremliins knock-off, somehow even more whacky. Can be bought off steam

Ukraine:
Carnivores - dinosaur hunting sim, built on engine very similar to Unreal.

Wonder why you took Obelix for Spain? I mean, it is one of the best looking games on the system and it features music from one of the best chiptune composers of all time, Alberto Gonzalez, but I'm wondering why you picked it.

Love The Settlers. Definitely needs to be up there. How about Anno 1602?

>>3159135
>Shovelware tier
True, but it still had some vibe. Sequel, it was complete garbage with really shitty sprites, but that fairy-tale themed messages about killing a monster or picking up helath/losing some from poisonous mushrooms, and "100 years of life" instead of "100 percent" is what hooks me. I replay it once a couple of years listening to Moscow afterdark by Powerwolf, they go together wonderful.

I find it funny how that's the case, yet the Scottish accents of Love Fist were so hilariously bad. Seriously, you couldn't grab a random chav off the street?
>>
>>3159840
Yeah it's not really on CTRs level, but it was definitely one of the best. Visually it's pretty reminiscent of Nintendo, and I never had that stuff growing up. So when I was a kid I remember really liking the colours and the sense of wide open spaces.
>>
>>3159898
If anything it felt very uninspired. The kids all filled very typical archetypes. Even if it was intentional, the character themselves could be more interesting.

On the flip side, turbo pick ups refilling by the pips felt alright, the visuals were some beautiful low poly work and the music definitely felt very UKish with the breakbeat and drum & bass vibes.

UK had great Dizzy Adventures series.
