1995 was the year where Brad Pitt was the sexiest man alive (according to People magazine), Coolio invited us to join him in his Gangsta’s Paradise, and a website called Amazon sold their first book. However, whilst the rest of the world was watching Toy Story and doing the Macarena, we were sat in front of our SNESes and Sega Saturns enjoying a plethora of brilliant video games, and we’re here today to reveal the crème de la crème. Here are the 10 Best Games Of 1995!

    Fun fact: Toby Gard who created Lara Croft, was inspired to make a female protagonist after seeing how interested the male staff at Core Design were in playing as the two female characters in Virtua Fighter on the Sega Saturn.
  • @tec5x5
    Yoshi's Island is graphically flawless because that sprite work is timeless
  • @aperturius
    Sega Rally Championship is so, so good. The physics are absolutely perfect and made the game eminently replayable.
  • As Canadian child in the 90s, NHL 96 was so beloved because they brought back fighting after it was missing in 94/95.
  • I played Yoshi’s Island so many times when it released. I would play it, get 100%, then erase the file to play through it again. It’s that good.
  • @KnuxKitsune
    05:09 "...2019, some 14 years after the game's original release." Seiken Densetsu 3 is now one of the best games of 2005.
  • @PeterAtkinson
    One of my favourite years in video game history. It has 3 of my favourite SNES games of all time Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country 2 and Yoshi’s Island. Still to this day, Yoshi’s Island is my favourite game of all time. 👍👍
  • @KRS2000
    Christmas 1995, I unwrapped DKC2 and Yoshi's Island. They are among the greatest games I've ever played.
  • @NeoSamus
    Great video. I am surprised that Virtual Fighter 2 was not on this or 1996 lists as it got just as good reviews and I’m sure that it had more than 7 reviews. Still a great list ❤. Keep up the fantastic work!
  • @StageRight123
    Ah yes, 1995. Such a great year. I graduated high school, got my own apartment. Definitely wasn't playing video games at the moment though.
  • & here are some honorable mentions: Comix Zone Command & Conquer Descent EarthBound (or Mother 2 if you want to get Japanese about this) Full Throttle Hexen: Beyond Heretic Marvel Super Heroes Rayman Star Wars: Dark Forces Street Fighter Alpha Suikoden Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together Tales of Phantasia The King of Fighters '95
  • Chrono Tigger is the greatest RPG of all time imo and is my favorite game. It's, coincidentally, a timeless masterpiece.
  • @Isoquant
    1995 was maybe my favorite year ever. Wonderful things have happened in life since, but what an amazing time to be alive.
  • @drgonzo123
    Virtual Fighter is a series that endures to this day.. I mean, does it though? When’s the last time you played a Virtual Fighter game? I honestly didn’t know they still made them.
  • @cunott280
    i still have my original warcraft2 disc somewhere. loved playing that game.
  • warcraft 2.....perfect game. played it most when i lived in germany. the language was set to german, and it really gave the game a cool vibe. i still say the ghostly "naturlich, meister" when my wife asks me to do something
  • I remember being at the mall arcade playing Mortal Kombat 3 (and the Simpsons game) for far too much time before it was available for snes
  • @mjdf122
    1995 was another great year for gaming - guy from the 1980s
