Way to many good games here lol Tmnt Arcade,Tetris etc. Cant pick a fav here. But ty for taking me down memory lane! Wish so bad could go back to this era and relive the Generations of games again. This time i would keep all my stuff.

Ah, the memories. Herzog Zwei was a fantastic game that was way ahead of its time, yet it seems to get so little love. Part shmup, part RTS, great music, nice graphics, fast and solid gameplay, and dual endings. Great stuff that really needed a sequel.

Expected to see Strider at number one, but not too far off.

Better year than I remember. A decent number of my favorite NES games and the rise of the mighty Sega Genesis. Also a great year for the arcades. This was also the year my friends and I played the Famicom Super Mario Bros 3 on the Play-Choice 10 arcade before it was released on the NES. My cousin got a Sega Genesis when everyone else had an NES. Had a few launch titles in the beginning.

How were these rankings decided? Those bottom tier rankings are... unique... and that's at least more interesting than the usual standards and measurements.
