transience 04/16/17 7:31:11 AM #33:	1990 top 5 games: Super Mario Bros. 3, Final Fantasy, Mega Man 3, Dr. Mario, Castlevania 3 notable consoles/technology: Neo-Geo GameFAQs strength: medium historical importance: medium rally potential: low overall: medium Mario 3 is almost like a console launch in and of itself. it's the crown jewel of the NES and the first video game that truly matters on this site. Final Fantasy is a notable launch as well. there's a good Mega Man and several other notable games not listed here. 1990 vs. 2000 is one of the few matchups between the early years and the 2000s. who you pick depends entirely on how much you think the site values the NES. - does 1990 get bonus points for Mario 3 being such a breakthrough game? - does Final Fantasy resonate with people today? - 1990 is 27 years ago. is that too old for folks here? that's going to be the defining question in its matchup vs. 2000. 1991 top 5 games: Super Mario World, Sonic the Hedgehog, Street Fighter II, Final Fantasy IV, Super Castlevania IV notable consoles/technology: SNES GameFAQs strength: medium historical importance: high rally potential: low overall: medium-high 1991 could be really strong. there's something about a picture of Mario and Sonic along with the SNES that could really resonate hard. there's also big games like SF2 and FF4. you wouldn't put any of these games besides Mario World on a pedestal in a game contest but combine Mario and Sonic and this comes off as being a hugely notable year. I think you can make a solid argument for 1991 to make it to the semifinals. 1988 is an easy round 1 opponent. 2002 should be interesting - Prime, KH and Vice City are probably stronger combined but 2002 doesn't have the SNES nor a headliner like Mario World. from there, it could face a number of years - 1994 is probably the most interesting theoretically because you'd be looking at the two biggest 16-bit years. Mario World vs. Super Metroid, Sonic 1 vs. Sonic 3, FF4 vs. FF6. again, edge 1994 in games but dat SNES. - how much does the SNES matter? - does 1991 get bonus points for being the height of the Mario/Sonic rivalry? - how influential will people see SF2? it's hugely important but SF2 has never been nearly as popular as it seems like it should. - can FF4 get into the match picture when the real story is Mario and Sonic? --- xyzzy <cite>transience posted [p:877294068] in transience...
