It got little respect at retail, but this unique platformer has become a revered cult classic.
98. Sensible Soccer
This classic top-down soccer title spawned one of the most important sports game series of all time.
97. Tekken 3
The PlayStation version was one of the best arcade-to-home fighting ports when it released, with nearly arcade-perfect visuals and spot-on gameplay.
96. Wipeout
Mastering the control of the floating ships was almost as satisfying as connecting a missile to an opponent’s afterburner.

The epic story, big boss battles and intense combat made this one of the best action games of recent times.
94. Gitaroo Man
This rhythm game tested coordination in ways unique from other titles in the genre.
93. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
If the “flat” colorful visuals didn’t draw you in, certainly it was the accessible gameplay or sharp humor.

Its big scares and overall creepiness defined survival horror—and let’s not forget the outrageous yet lovable voice acting.
91. Super Smash Bros. Melee
This fun mish-mash of Nintendo characters has earned respect in pro gaming circles.
