Nice to see oddworld is in the top 20!

I have momentary selective vision so I am unable to see what number #7 is, therefore I feel completely justified in saying that I really like every game in that list!

I've only played one of those games, I think. Oh, maybe Grand Theft Auto a couple of times, not sure.

I've played all but Super Metroid and Goldeneye.

No Mega Drive Sonic the Hedgehog! Blasphemy!

I only played: MGS (Psx) (multi multi multi times), Oddworld (Psx) (3 times) Tekken 3 (partly finished) , GTA2 (Psx) (did not finish)

I only tried at someone elses place:
Super Mario 64, Golden Eye 007

Haven't touched the rest

I've played 19/20 and am defying conventions by not complaining about the one I didn't! (Chrono Trigger)

Phylum · #7 03-26-2010, 01:59 AM

Love SMB3, and MGS is very high on my list of priorities.

Well done AO!

This list is broken; it's viewing games of the '90's with a 2010 eye, whilst ignoring games and genres that were incredibly popular at the time but have since died out - note the fact that almost all of those games have had sequels or remakes in the last few years.

Where are all the Adventure game? Where is Sierra and Lucasarts?!

Grieva · #12 03-26-2010, 04:47 PM

I'm only missing all the Nintendo ones (as I never had a Nintendo

), Tekken 3 and Dungeon Keeper.

So apart from most of them, I actually have them all!

***Nate*** · #13 03-26-2010, 05:19 PM

Oh, and in case it's not obvious from my last post, I've only played 1 out of the 20.

***Xavier*** · #14 03-30-2010, 01:38 AM

I only played two of them...

And yeah! Where is Rayman?

Phylum · #15 03-30-2010, 01:50 AM

In our hearts! We don't need to be told that's a great game, it's a given.

Also, it's very hard to pick 20 brilliant games from a decade; you're bound to miss one.

That list was the games played in the late 90s when i wasn't very old.

...other than that i don't get what your trying to say?

Well, the adventure game genre was much bigger in the 90s than what it is in this decade, would have been good to see that genre represented somewhere in the list.

Personally, I still make sandwiches by "use bread with toaster, pick up margarine, use margarine with toast, pick up ham, use ham with buttered toast"

That it's not an accurate list of which games actually were popular in the '90's. Rather, it's a list of which '90's games would be popular if they were released today.

It is pretty hard to look at old games with new eyes and judge them as they were when released.

EDIT:

It is pretty hard to look at old games with new eyes and judge them as one would have when they were released.
