Who made that list?
I recall 1990, Mario 3 was a great game.. but it was already a bit old by then (1988), because we already had the Genesis and TG-16 in North-America... and well, the reference for GOTY back then as EGM not Nintendo Power...
I found that list of EGM'S GOTY with the eyes of people from that tim, after the year 2000 (or so) EGM became much less relevant...
