You made a great selection for mid 90's as well, but....

No River City Ransom? Sim City was pretty epic, but I'd still have given it runner up. It's one of the few NES games I can play.

WOW You really like Final Fantasy...Never been a huge fan, but I'm working through VI and I can see why this is the best of the series. I particularly like the smaller Square and Squaresoft franchises like Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, Front Mission, Drakengard, XenoGears, Valkyrie Profile, etc.
