Were they even trying?
Looks more like a bunch of random games put together, with overhyped mid-'90s stuff placed waaay to high.
>>3806090
>2. Tetris (1987, Nintendo, Spectrum)
Figured as much. I never understood magazine's obsession with this overrated puzzle game. The only good versions of Tetris are the Grandmaster series by Arika.
>>3806112
It's one of the best-selling games of all time, with over 35 million copies sold. Magazines always appeal to lowest common denominator.
>>3806090
>>18. Micro Machines (1991, Multiple Platforms)
This is the biggest bullshit on the list. Utterly middle-of-the-road game.
>>3806119
>sold
more like bundled
>>3806145
it's a lovely racer but like, 17 is absolutely way too high.
How can u get it so wrong?
