Desperately wish I could have been working in that era. You've seen all the FF11 stuff right? www.playonline.com/ff11us/guide...

What IS fun though is finding the oldest game that still holds up perfectly (ignoring Tetris because obviously). Like SMB3 or A Link to the Past are almost perfectly timeless.

Yeah for sure, I just think its less fun when Mario Kart 8 is also on the list, and if the criteria is 'right now', then MK8 clears no questions asked.

Makes sense. I'm just not ready to see every 3D PS1/N64 immediately hit the bottom of the list lol.

I always think about this when I see all time game rankings, and it's harder, but you have to do it based on when it was released. The technological, graphical, control and quality of life innovations over time completely remove 95% of anything over 20 years old from contention.
