my personal games of the year for the last 19 (started early on a NES) would be"
90': final fantasy - no idea what i was doign, i was 2 at the time going on 3, but i loved the music, probably never made it out the first area but it was a hoot for me and a franchise ive loved for almost 20 years since.
91': the legend of zelda - a link to the past - VERY cheesy name in retrospect but its a great game still and again started a longtime love of a franchise. -again the music is what i remember most.
92': Kirby's dream land for the gameboy - fuck you guys, i was a toddler and loved the fuck out of this handheld platformer!
93': The Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening - the first on the list i remember with crystal clarity i loved going back to zelda again, granted it was black and white but it was on my bigass white brick of a "hand"-held and i could play it in the car. at the time this blew my mind.
94': Final Fantasy 6, or 3 as it was then known, got it on import from my grandparents for christmas and loved it, i prefer it to 7, sorry, but its out there.
95': Chrono Trigger - seriously, i was a jrpg nut when i was younger.
96': Resident evil - though i would play this till later this wasnt a big year for me, i lost all my games and played nothing, in retrospect thsi was my game of the year.
97': castlevania symphony of the night - again not till later, my mom was scared by the media that games would destroy my brain so i spent a few years without them.
98': pokemon red - first game in years, tetris got me back in ,this was the lock on the escape route door.( though in retrospect ocarina and resi 2 are both close calls but resi 2 wins it overall, this is a personal list)
99': final fantasy 8/silent hill/metal gear solid - these 3 were all i played for months, an unshakable three way tie.
