1994: Super Metroid, Final Fantasy VI, Donkey Kong Country, Earthbound... You name it xD

Since I never had a SNES, it wasn't until many years later that I got a chance to played them. And I gotta say... It's tough to choose just one. But I guess Super Metroid is the one game that was born a masterpiece and remains a masterpiece 26 years later.

Don't have many choices, but I'll pick Indy 800 (1975).

curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

I'm reliably informed by Wikipedia that Super Mario Bros 3 was first released in 1988, so that's the clear choice for me.

None I guess...well, technically, games existed on university mainframes of the time, which led to Spacewar! being reworked to become coin operated Computer Space the very next year (1971).
