I can't possibly name just one.

Donkey Kong
Turbo
Galaga
Frogger
Ultima 1 The First Age of Darkness

But if I have to only select one, I'd go with the one that aged the best out of them and go with Donkey Kong.

Video games were still in their infancy in 1976 (the Atari 2600 was still a year away from even being released). From what was released that year, I guess I would say Breakout.

I was going to go arcade and haptic feedback with Fonz

Fun topic! I'm the same age as the OP here so it's an easy answer of Super Mario World for the best game of 1990.

However if I were to pick a favourite one from my year which I actually played as a young kid I'm choosing Castle of Illusion - the Master System version. Have fond memories playing that when I was like 4 years old back when we lived in Scotland.

It's gotta be Super Mario 64. I've only played a few games from 1996, so it wins by default.

Lifetime Sales Predictions

Switch: 151 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 57 million (was 60 million, then 67 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

You missed out on some great ones that year.

Of course, every year has some great games. I know Yoshi's Island is from 1995 too, but it's not really my thing. Outside of those two I can't really think of a notable game from that year.

Chrono Trigger is another big one. Earthbound if you consider the North America release. Secret of Evermore. Castlevania: Dracula X. Mega Man 7 and Mega Man X3.
