I know its early, but I don't even know how 1998 is winning... don't get me wrong, I love all those games, but they are going head to head with arguably the best game ever made in Link to the Past, Sonic 2 which is arguably the best Sonic game, and a ton of other great games.

so for me:

No one gives a shit about sonic games. And the pc library alone best out 92. People need to realise why 98 is so highly rated. Just because 92 had your fav game ever doesn't mean much. The year overall is what counts and 98 completely oblirates 92.

No one gives a shit about Sonic.... thats why it spawned over a dozen sequels on multiple platforms and over 3 television shows, and got him an as a character into Smash Brothers, but yes, no no one cares about Sonic.......

And I'm not saying 1998 was a bad year in gaming, not at all. Just that 1992 blows it out of the water. First real competitor to Street Fighter in Mortal Kombat, Wolfenstein which is credited as establishing the First Person Shooter Genre, and LTTP which is in the running for best game on the SNES.

And no, Link to the Past isn't my favorite game. That would be Megaman X, or Terranigma, kind of a tie between the two.

I want to know why Xenosaga 2 was mentioned in the 2005 profile. Would anyone ever be swayed by the most disappointing Xeno game?

People don't care about genre codifiers or how big a game was back then. They are more concerned with the game still being playable now when compared to modern things like BotW.

I mean, I'm pretty sure Pac-Man has a similar pedigree. What year did 1980 lose to again? Oh it didn't lose to any year because it literally wasn't in the contest? OK. 1981 had Ms Pac Man, which was the more popular sequel, and it immediately lost to 2006, which immediately lost to 2011. And Pac-Man is legit, in some ways arguably still the best game at what it does.

(By comparison, my general opinion of Sonic is that it was a strong marketing campaign. Sega presented him as the "cool" version of Mario. And in 1992 that worked; people owned one console or the other, and would argue their games were better without even playing the other system's games. But in 2017, people can easily go back and play both Mario and Sonic, and say "huh, these Mario games are better.")

Heh, I don't even like ALttP, definitely think OoT is better...but nevertheless you've swayed me.

Sorry but Your argument for 92 blowing 98 out of the water is weak. Noone cares about wolfenstien being the first FPS or whatever. Sonic games were decent in the 16 bit era but every other sonic game post the 16 bit era has been utterly shit. Sonic 1 and 3 are vastly superior to Sonic 2 as well.

92 was a decent year. Yes Lttp was great as was MK But cmon now. Not even the best year for 16 bit era gaming. 98 had more platforms and vast amount of AA/AAA games of the highest quality.

Whats more insulting is you didn't even bother to mention the best game that came out in 1992. Which was Flashback. Technically it's a 93 game on SNES/GEn but it came out on Amiga in 1992.

A true masterpiece.

never said it was the best year in 16 bit gaming, but in comparison to 98 it was better.

I don't believe that Sonic 1 was better than Sonic 2 and here is why. Sonic 2 had more memorable zones, better theme music(though I do love me some Green Hill Zone), and most importantly it added the ability for Sonic to spin dash. Sonic 1 just felt so slow.

As for Wolfenstein, you seem to forget that it was a pioneer. Without it you might not have gotten games like Doom, Duke Nukem 3d and Quake.

As for the best game released in 92, it could very well be Shining Force 1, though Turtles 4 also came out that year, interesting that wasn't mentioned in the battle.
