I dunno, Simpsons might be super nostalgic for some people. that might be my generation and not most of gamefaqs, though.

the simpsons in your memory from 1991 is one of the best ever, yeah. the simpsons, or TMNT, revisited today would be far from.

Simpsons is alright - I'm guessing most people have put a couple quarters in that machine, but it's no Killer Instinct. And Lemmings is certainly no DKC. I think Turtles in Time would have been a better arcade choice for 1991, but maybe Simpsons was more popular back then. Not really sure.

Simpsons gets me very nostalgic, too. I think it's a good lineup for people who were actually playing games during that era. 1994's got stuff that's more relevant today, but 1991 has a nostalgia advantage for people who were gamers back then.

yeah 1991 pretty much loaded up on nostalgia. I think FF4 being so low could be a negative, especially with FF6 being top bar. then again, you wouldn't want FF4 facing off against FF6 so whatever. this match should be great.

Yeah, I think FFIV being as far from FFVI as possible is probably better for 1991, even if it's on the bottom line.

You know, I legitimately think the question of The Simpsons's strength is interesting

It's possible that too many voters are too young to remember it, but back in the heydey of the 90's The Simpsons was THE arcade game that everyone wanted to play - it was a huge deal to go to the local pizza joint and get a bunch of people around The Simpsons and feed quarters into it. Plus it's got a really recognizable name attached to it

Its strength is probably completely wrecked by the fact that it has been irrelevant for a really long time now and there are few opportunities for younger people to play it, but still - to me it makes 1991 look good

I thiiiiink 1994 still wins this but it doesn't look as deep as I thought it would. Earthworm Jim, Daytona, and System Shock are some deep cuts

As a 1994 fanboy with MMX as my favorite game of that year, I'm now thinking 1994 might have actually won out. Yeah, it lost MMX, but 1991 lost an SNES pic, which may be a bigger deal.

I'm also more pessimistic about The Simpson's strength - I see that game, Lemmings, and perhaps Metroid II (though damn that pic is nice) as liabilities.

Lemmings is definitely a liability. F-Zero is a pretty nice addition though because there are people who are crazy about that series. 1994 has liabilities in System Shock and Daytona USA, so those will balance out. I'm not convinced Killer Instinct is worth much either, especially with 1991 having SFII on the other side.

as a fellow crazy -- F-Zero is not F-Zero GX, not at all. those may as well be two different franchises. and I like F-Zero SNES.

I think this'll mostly come down to SM/FF6 vs SMW/Sonic and I think 1994 wins that based on how strong Super Metroid has polled in recent years

You know what would've been good for 1991?

Super Castle****in'vania IV

Can't take away something like Lemmings though, might be my favorite puzzle game of all time.

And hey what about Tecmo Super Bowl? Huge love for an old sports game.

Turtles probably gets more of its strength from the 92 SNES port than it does the 91 Arcade release.

It wouldn't beat Mario World though, I don't think.

And I don't know that the math is that straightforward. Mario 64 would have a good shot at beating FFVII these days and 1996 is getting slaughtered.

Fixed. Tomorrow we'll have three Sonic the Hedgehog's, and one of them will be furry porn.

Where's my furry porn, damnit!?

I submitted a pic for Tecmo Bowl. I also would have submitted for SCIV, except I had a hard time making a decent one.

But y'know what I also submitted for, that got overlooked? Freaking Civilization. For some reason the site has it listed as 1990, even though the official site for Civilization and everywhere else says Sep '91. I love Lemmings, don't get me wrong, but if you want to woo the PC vote, you can't do better than Sid Meier.

Anyway, I got 1 pic accepted despite submitting like 15 of them (all for 91), and it's the one I put the least time into. Go figure. But maybe having Metroid II up there will do some good.

Any of those probably would have been a better option than Lemmings.

I mean, I loved the game back in, oh, 1991, but I doubt it even has much clout in terms of nostalgia.

better than Lemmings probably but not very important either way

94 missing MMX is way worse. and honestly i maintain that Shining Force 2 would make a difference here, too.

Or, y'know, that fabled system pic we were told at the start of the contest would be a thing. SNES pic probably pushes this things over the top.
