December 1994, the PSX is released in Japan alongside a few games like Ridge Racer and Crime Crackers. This was a lot more mindblowing than fucking Demon's Crest which nobody cared for

>wow mind boogling 3d effects! Gameplay? What's that!
>>
>>12558080
how in the hell do you not include X-COM: UFO Defense and Colonization?
>>
>no system shock
>fucking arena on the list
>earthbound number 1
What the fuck?
>>
>>12558080
Earthbound was 1995
Mother 2 was 1994.
These lists are always iffy depending on who you ask. Asking a person who was a gamer in 1994 what his favorite games were that year, there was no earthbound nor other games yet to be localized. he will lists games that he played, games that actually existed.
Asking a modern gamer about favorite year and its all japanaese dates from wiki pages, and relaiable emulators and fan patches have existed for their entire lives.
Both are technically correct, but it fucks up these lists.

if you made a 1986 list and it had a bunch of Famicom games even though no Americans played them at the time and anyone who was gaming then probably did so on a C64
>>
>>12558080
1994 is all about Sonic for me... Sonic 3 & Knuckles alone would be great, but getting Sonic Triple Trouble too? That rocked.
>>
PC and Arcade never existed
>>

Parodius is on Arcade, Doom 2 and Arena are on PC

Best year in gaming. No contest. For me anyway. Not just for the tippy top-tier stuff, but there were tons of fantastic B titles released on a weekly basis. As a kid who rented most of his games, I was completely spoiled that year.

Also other people appointed this out, but EB was only 1994 in Japan. Moreover, it feels very much like a 1995 game anyway.

>>12561112
the Speccy was long over by 94

>>12558452
Ridge Racer is a great port of a great arcade game, but what's so special about Crime Crackers?
>>
>>12558080
no one cared about Elder Scrolls until Morrowind.

demons crest sucks. that is all.

Meh, I can get even if I disagree.

Can we please stop pretending to like Crime Crackers. It's shit and you only pretend to like it because it didn't leave Japan and has anime girls in it sometimes.
