@Immortalshadowarrior, gameplay variety. In DOOM, you shoot things. In OoT, you shoot things...and slash things...and explore things...and solve things...and throw boomerangs at things =)
@TheOSUfan46, not very. Mario 64 was the better platformer and far more significant to the development of the industry as a whole. Sonic was eliminated rather quickly.
I don't even think about ifs. Before I even began making the list, I knew "one per genre" was needed. The 90s were too loaded to not have a rule that balanced the genres out.
i disagree with your critera. 'one game per genre' the 90s was the decades of platformers, the platformers of the 90s where better then the other genres and should be reflected. sonic and mario should be represented. also goldeneye changes gaming as mouch as any game of the 90s
@cv003799, as big of a platformer fan as I am, it's really narrow-minded to say that platformers are the supreme genre. Gamers all have different tastes, which is why this list needed to be balanced.
The 90s were more than just platformers. It was the decade where numerous genres now popular today were born and/or popularized (i.e. FPS, RPG, RTS, fighting). It was the decade that went from 8-bit blips and beeps to full 3D gameplay. In fact, by the decade's end, platforming had died.
@ZhangtheGreat Then I shall ask politely... *Ahem* Good chap, shall you kindly indulge me as to the reason why you have not included Pokemon in this list of top ten games?
@azi2g, remember that I have a "one per genre" rule. That means only one RPG could be chosen. In a decade loaded with RPGs, Pokemon had to compete with Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Earthbound, a slew of Final Fantasy games, etc. Its chances to be chosen were slim.
@phazonness117, cut and cut. Earthbound had to compete against too many RPGs to be chose. Spyro had to compete against too many platformers to be chosen.
@ZhangtheGreat yeah the game with the most fanboys ever aka final fantasy 7 and 3d platformers it's own genre and banjo, crash, and mario 64 were the only other 3d games out there
@phazonness117, well I can't go by your definition of "genre" when assessing FF games. Plus, I only selected one platformer overall (2D or 3D). If I wanted to distinguish between 2D and 3D games, I would have.
@phazonness117, bias? No. I just weigh impact and legacy heavier than many others who create these lists. Neither Spyro nor SMW accomplished what SM64 did. SM64 didn't just create an outstanding game. It kick-started the 3D era, an era that hasn't slowed down since. 3D games before SM64 were just experiments. 3D games after SM64 used it as their prototype (even today). As great as Spyro and SMW were, neither game launched a revolution.
@ZhangtheGreat legacy look at all the smw rom hacks, popularity SMW outsold Super Mario 64, and while Super Mario 64 introduced the mechanics not many games use it's formula aka do task A collect the star leave the level, no more games use the banjo method of collect item A,B,C, some can be randomly found others you need to do tasks
@phazonness117, impact and legacy > popularity. A game that leads to a shift in the way the industry develops newer games has established a much more significant legacy than a game that only sold a ton.
@Happytreefriendsfan3, impact on its genre was the reason. DOOM led to an explosion in the popularity of the FPS. Super Mario 64, while taking us into the 3D era, did little to save platformers.
@Darcond, no it's not. An expansion requires the full game to play. SF2 Turbo doesn't require SF2 to play. It's an update (not a remake), which is not one of the exclusions.
@TediousAffair, did you, like many others who've commented already, also overlook the "one game per genre" rule I preset? I even listed each game's genre in case anyone missed it.
Mario 64, Zelda 64, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Doom, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, Panzer Dragoon Zwei, Half-Life, Chrono Trigger
@ZhangtheGreat Relax. Lots of people are leaving lists of their favorite games from the nineties in the comments section. I don't care about your "one game per genre" rule. It's just my opinion; you're entitled to your list as well.
Obviously not going to read all 968 comments but would add my vote for NHL '94. Others I would recommend (not criticising your Top 10 but merely suggesting my preferences) are Tenchu : Stealth Assassins and Warzone 2100 (the latter of which was so good that it survives as a free download and in my opinion still hasn't been surpassed). Remarkably ahead of it's time.
(imo) In no particular order: 1. Zelda Ocarina of Time 2. Mario 64 3. Street Fighter 2 Turbo 4. Daytona USA 5. Super Metroid 6. Metal Gear Solid 7. Sonic 8. Final Fantasy VII 9. Half-Life 10. Streets Of Rage 2
@NostalgicSince2005, it's all about who you ask. Because FF fans will never agree on a single "best" game, I had to choose based on popularity (since I can't choose the "best" game if the most die hard fans can't even conclude what's "best").
@blackcladlizard, why is that a surprise? The best year in the 90s (and possibly best year of all time) for gaming was 1998. It shouldn't shock you to see quite a few entries from 1998 on the list (MGS, Starcraft, OoT).
I don't understand your gripe. I had a fair share of early-90s games (TSB, SF2, DOOM), and the list isn't restricted to one per year. If you want something different, feel free to make your own list.
@TheTrueDecepticreep, only one game per genre. Please reread the rules. I selected Super Mario 64 as the platformer of the decade, meaning no other platformer could be included.
@TheTrueDecepticreep, impact was the ultimate tiebreaker for Mario 64. As outstanding as Super Metroid or SotN were, neither game led to anything. Both helped close off the 2D platforming era in grand style, but it was Mario 64 that kick-started the 3D era of gaming, an era that we haven't stopped embracing since. Of course, all of this was because it was so well polished with near-perfect controls, superb camera, and phenomenal gameplay. No other 3D game before SM64 accomplished this.
@TheTrueDecepticreep, "many people consider..." doesn't automatically make it right. Zelda's RPG-ness is too much in doubt and constantly up for debate; that disqualified it as a solid, no-questions-asked, no-brainer RPG (i.e. Final Fantasy). "Fantasy-adventure" suits Zelda much better, since there's little doubt about that label.
I've been looking for that version of Doom! What system was it for? I used to have it for Ps1 but I'm not sure if they had it for other systems too. (At least I think it I had it for Ps1)
@Tankoke, *sigh* I wish people would read the title and rules first before throwing games out in the open, because frankly I'm getting sick and tired of answering the same questions over and over again.
- See the number 10 in the video? That's how many games I'm limited to.
- See "one game per genre"? That's how many of each I can choose per genre. I even wrote the genres for each entry in case you missed it at the beginning.
Now use logic and tell me if I can include everything YOU want.
Ok... is there a list of games i don't have in my collection that i can emulate that isn't half bad i have played chrono trigger and all 9 final fantasies all the way through anyone have any ideas about a good rpg that won't put me to sleep -.-
@tinygangster666, maybe you should study gaming history a bit before declaring a game unworthy. SF2 changed fighters forever with its pristine controls, addictive gameplay, and character appeal. Its imitators (including Tekken) are everywhere. Its balance is still unchallenged today, and it remains the preferred fighter of choice in many arcade tournaments. Tekken might be 3D, but that's all it was. It never reached SF2's impact on the genre and gaming landscape.
@ZhangtheGreat dude the only fighting games that can beat tekken is mortal kombat end of discussion tekken also changed how fighting games were seeing as though fighting games became 3-d afterwards INCLUDING STREET FIGHTER not to mention tekken had better stories comparing tekken to streetfighter is like comparing mario to pacman mario had way more content--tekken had way more content than streetfighter
@tinygangster666, if 3D is the only thing Tekken had going for it, that's not much at all. And how is MK the only game that stacks up? MK1 was completely overrated; all it had was blood. Just look at the reviews: The Genesis version got praised for blood, while the SNES version had better controls and graphics but was slammed. MK2 had one of the best fighting systems ever, which made MK1's look even worse.
SF2 took fighters mainstream and remains mainstream today. Tekken? Not as much.
@ZhangtheGreat well this is the last thing im going to say to you.. despite the tekken franchise being 7 years younger than the street fighter franchise tekken has managed to sell 9 million more copies than street fighter
@tinygangster666, sales numbers mean little. ET is one of the top selling games for the Atari 2600, and look at how good that is. SF2's sales numbers will be lower because most of the attention it attracted was at the arcades. Besides, we're talking about individual games here (SF2 Turbo vs. Tekken 1), not an entire series, so total sales for an entire series don't matter that much.
chrono trigger instead of ff7 for best jrpg of the 90's?? but obviously ff7 was more successful and is a great game anyway so it probably deserved it... nvm
Sonic did not make the best series in the 90's where did you get that crap from? I used to work at Emerald Software and we were ahead of information on which games sale better and which games are known as "wasted development" Sonic 1 barely sold approx 4 mill copies and sonic 2 approx 6 mill WW During 90's SEGA really didn't have that much hits as most people actually think. The most record breaking best selling game by the end of dec 31 1999 is tetris which sold approx 30 mill.
The 1990s brought us so many memorable game franchises – Sonic, Fatal Fury, Doom, Earthworm Jim, Megaman X, King of Fighters, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Arc the Lad, Samurai Shodown, Virtua Fighter, Shenmue, Streets of Rage, Pokémon, Soul Calibur, Metal Gear Solid, Seiken Densetsu, Metal Slug, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Grand Theft Auto, Donkey Kong Country, Guilty Gear, The Elder Scrolls, Breath of Fire, Legacy of Kain, Dead or Alive, Chrono, etc.
why is it tht all 90s games had the best soundtracks ive ever heard...and nowadays we all get...zero soundtrack, most games i play mostly have gunshot sounds, explosions, guys screaming,slashing sounds and whtsoever...noone ever stops to think about the music -.- theres too much silence in videogaming
@PrrrromotionGiven, that's always debatable. What isn't is impact, which SM64 is miles ahead of the competition in. After all, it's THE game that set off the 3D era, an era that hasn't ended since.
@nick7305 I'm not trying to start fan war here, can we just forget about this before it gets out of hand? I will say that Mario 64 is very good, just to clarify, though. I like both series' games.
@ZhangtheGreat The action/adventure genre would have been close to choose from with the likes of Res Evil and Tomb Raider also fighting for top 10 spot.
Btw.. I thought there was less that 10 genres... RPG, Beat-em-ups, Shoot-em-ups, Action/Adventure, Platform, Driving/Racing, Sports, Puzzle
@Monosono120, the only game Pokemon could've replaced on this list was FF7 due to the "one per genre" rule. In a decade with RPGs such as Chrono Trigger and a gazillion FFs, Pokemon's chances to win were not as high.
@dexz0und, did you overlook the "one per genre" rule? Quake 2 had to contend with Half-Life, Counter Strike, DOOM, and GoldenEye. Crash Bandicoot had to contend with Super Metroid, Sonic, and an onslaught of epic Mario games. Neither really had much of a chance.
@BlastProcessorDotCom, everyone has their own opinions. Feel free to make your own list if you're dissatisfied.
As for being mid-late 90s, perhaps you overlooked Tecmo Super Bowl (1991) and DOOM (1993). Besides, don't we expect games to get better over time? And 1998 was THE year for gaming (hence it had multiple entries).
Yeah, 2000 is really "the one". It made the greatest impact. Everything after that added some more depth (which I feel is needed) but at the cost of upsetting 2k's equilibrium of simplicity and satisfying gameplay.
@phdotsco I know. The graphisms were shit. I think resident evil remake have better graphisms. But the one released in 1996 marked the beginning of this awesome serie.
@ZhangtheGreat yeah. you should do one for 90s handhelds

Just look at the reviews: The Genesis version got praised for blood, while the SNES version had better controls and graphics but was slammed. MK2 had one of the best fighting systems ever, which made MK1's look even worse.
SF2 took fighters mainstream and remains mainstream today. Tekken? Not as much.

@ZhangtheGreat well this is the last thing im going to say to you.. despite the tekken franchise being 7 years younger than the street fighter franchise tekken has managed to sell 9 million more copies than street fighter
heh.

@tinygangster666, sales numbers mean little. ET is one of the top selling games for the Atari 2600, and look at how good that is. SF2's sales numbers will be lower because most of the attention it attracted was at the arcades. Besides, we're talking about individual games here (SF2 Turbo vs. Tekken 1), not an entire series, so total sales for an entire series don't matter that much.

chrono trigger instead of ff7 for best jrpg of the 90's?? but obviously ff7 was more successful and is a great game anyway so it probably deserved it... nvm

Sonic did not make the best series in the 90's where did you get that crap from? I used to work at Emerald Software and we were ahead of information on which games sale better and which games are known as "wasted development" Sonic 1 barely sold approx 4 mill copies and sonic 2 approx 6 mill WW During 90's SEGA really didn't have that much hits as most people actually think. The most record breaking best selling game by the end of dec 31 1999 is tetris which sold approx 30 mill.

Sonic Adventure? Or at least Sonic 3&Knuckles? I think they're better platformers than Mario 64.
PrrrromotionGiven 6 months ago
@PrrrromotionGiven, that's always debatable. What isn't is impact, which SM64 is miles ahead of the competition in. After all, it's THE game that set off the 3D era, an era that hasn't ended since.

no banjo kazooie or tooie those were awsome thas just sucks
nick7305 6 months ago
@nick7305, one game per genre. Once Super Mario 64 was picked as the platformer, all others were out.

@nick7305 Yeah, Tooie was great :D I especially liked the bosses

@ZhangtheGreat The action/adventure genre would have been close to choose from with the likes of Res Evil and Tomb Raider also fighting for top 10 spot.
Btw.. I thought there was less that 10 genres... RPG, Beat-em-ups, Shoot-em-ups, Action/Adventure, Platform, Driving/Racing, Sports, Puzzle

@Monosono120, no honorable mentions. Otherwise everyone will want every game ever released in the 1990s to be on here.
ZhangtheGreat 6 months ago
@ZhangtheGreat Fair point, but i still think it was more memorable than Super Mario 64 was
Monosono120 6 months ago
@Monosono120, the only game Pokemon could've replaced on this list was FF7 due to the "one per genre" rule. In a decade with RPGs such as Chrono Trigger and a gazillion FFs, Pokemon's chances to win were not as high.
ZhangtheGreat 6 months ago
wow how can you forget quake 2, crash bandicoot :/? they shouldwe been in the top
dexz0und 6 months ago
@dexz0und, did you overlook the "one per genre" rule? Quake 2 had to contend with Half-Life, Counter Strike, DOOM, and GoldenEye. Crash Bandicoot had to contend with Super Metroid, Sonic, and an onslaught of epic Mario games. Neither really had much of a chance.
ZhangtheGreat 6 months ago
@ZhangtheGreat Ohh never thought bout that =/
dexz0und 6 months ago
Haha, so no Sega games? No SNES games? No best of the 16-bit wars listed?
I agree, this is more like the best of the late 1990s. The real classics came out before 1995.
BlastProcessorDotCom 6 months ago
@BlastProcessorDotCom, everyone has their own opinions. Feel free to make your own list if you're dissatisfied.
As for being mid-late 90s, perhaps you overlooked Tecmo Super Bowl (1991) and DOOM (1993). Besides, don't we expect games to get better over time? And 1998 was THE year for gaming (hence it had multiple entries).
ZhangtheGreat 6 months ago
Link to the Past beats OoT hands down... I'd say this list is more the best of the mid-to-late 90s...

applemctom 6 months ago
@applemctom
Yeah, 2000 is really "the one". It made the greatest impact. Everything after that added some more depth (which I feel is needed) but at the cost of upsetting 2k's equilibrium of simplicity and satisfying gameplay.
