  4. blaknoizee on August 12, 2020 at 9:08 pm

    That Mario warp ending was the icing on the cake.

  5. jazzlehazzle on August 12, 2020 at 9:08 pm

  6. X on August 12, 2020 at 9:08 pm

    Mortal Kombat?

  7. Chiji on August 12, 2020 at 9:09 pm

    Final Fantasy 6 an honorable mention…

  8. The Old School Video Game King on August 12, 2020 at 9:11 pm

    Poor Game Gear didn’t even get considered for this list.

  9. Dan johanson on August 12, 2020 at 9:12 pm

    Super Mario kart

  10. Mean bean Machine on August 12, 2020 at 9:12 pm

    Where’s sonic 3 & knuckles?

  11. Sandwich on August 12, 2020 at 9:12 pm

    The Nerd would disapprove of the “so-called” list

  12. Firemblem Gaming on August 12, 2020 at 9:15 pm

    Final Fantasy VI

  13. anvb5a1 on August 12, 2020 at 9:16 pm

    This is a VERY tough call! … But if PC games are taken into account, the rest is just doomed! Ascendancy anyone?

  14. iLoveJackingOn on August 12, 2020 at 9:19 pm

    No Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat?

  15. Daniel Goldgraber on August 12, 2020 at 9:22 pm

    Super Metroid at 7?!?!?!?!😤 I played that game on my switch last month and it was amazing for today’s standards.

  16. Alan Trejo on August 12, 2020 at 9:24 pm

    Sonic is the goat. I demand a new video. Sales dont count number of fans to date is what count.

  17. Marjorie Johnston on August 12, 2020 at 9:25 pm

    Pokemon is THE best RPG ever, how is it not #1????????

  18. Neven on August 12, 2020 at 9:26 pm

    Mario above Doom?!? Hahahaha…. unsubscribed

  19. gamecatz on August 12, 2020 at 9:26 pm

    Personally, this is what I think the list should be:
    4th Generation Games:
    10. Pokemon Red & Blue
    9. Gunstar Heroes
    8. Doom
    7. Sonic the Hedgehog 2
    6. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
    5. Super Metroid
    4. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest
    3. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
    2. Chrono Trigger
    1. Super Mario World
    Honorable Mentions: EarthBound, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, Super Castlevania IV, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, UFO: Enemy unknown, Mega Man X, Super Mario Kart, and Final Fantasy III

  20. Liam Moriarty on August 12, 2020 at 9:27 pm

    Why did you put Sonic the Hedgehog 2 over Super Metroid?

  21. Gabetendo on August 12, 2020 at 9:28 pm

    Come on man. Street Fighter 2 at least deserves a place at the top 10. That’s a no brainer.

  22. pablikenemi on August 12, 2020 at 9:28 pm

    Ok but come on, Super Metroid at 7 !? Do you ever play that Masterpiece WhatMojo:
    the Music, playability, atmosphere, Story.. that game has everything to be one of the best games of all time ..

  23. COBRACMR 4 on August 12, 2020 at 9:28 pm

    Chrono Trigger really is a step up above the rest. Best game of all time in my humble opinion

  24. Big Poppin’ Jake on August 12, 2020 at 9:31 pm

    Super metroid, Donkey kong country, doom, and super mario rpg are the best looking SNES games

    i can also kinda see that with chrono trigger.

  25. The Spiritual SmartAss on August 12, 2020 at 9:32 pm

    I love this list but man DKC2 shoulda made it somewhere

  26. 420LP on August 12, 2020 at 9:32 pm

    Chrono trigger is the most overrated game of all time

  27. GAME BOIII on August 12, 2020 at 9:32 pm

    Super Mario World is wayy better than Chrono Trigger

  28. Michael Song on August 12, 2020 at 9:34 pm

    Super Metroid is only #7? Outrageous.

    And FF6 is only honorable mention? WTF?

    CT is well deserved #1 though.

  29. bigbaddawg101 on August 12, 2020 at 9:35 pm

    I remember playing Chrono Trigger for the SNES back in the days of video rental stores. One of the copies the store had glitched on me when I started a new game and gave me all the character’s magic and one of the strongest weapons early on.

  30. Pentashift Whitten on August 12, 2020 at 9:35 pm

    Mario rpg only being an honorable mention is heresy

  31. Richard Gallimore on August 12, 2020 at 9:36 pm

    As someone who grew up with a Super Nintendo, I’ve still never played Chrono Trigger…

  32. C Mitchell on August 12, 2020 at 9:37 pm

    FF6 > CT

  33. Jay Nicks on August 12, 2020 at 9:39 pm

    Castlevania: Rondo of Blood? No, Super Castlevania IV was way better!

  34. Jaroslaw Glowacz on August 12, 2020 at 9:40 pm

    Sonic 3 or Sonic & Knuckles should be #1!!! And Civilization 2 to PC #2 if I get the time of release right!

  35. JB3373 on August 12, 2020 at 9:43 pm

    What about Lucasarts’ Tie Fighter for the PC???

  36. Cold_Chili on August 12, 2020 at 9:43 pm

    Donkey Kong Country 2 was only an honourable mention?!

  37. Joe M on August 12, 2020 at 9:43 pm

    Who the hell came up with this list?

  38. Eric Salinas on August 12, 2020 at 9:44 pm

    FF VI was too good of a game just to be on the honorable mention list

  39. Anthony Krause on August 12, 2020 at 9:45 pm

    Earthbound and final fantasy six were just honorable mentions, why? just why?

  40. Jevon Jackson on August 12, 2020 at 9:45 pm

    Top five videogames of the fourth generation.
    5. Mortal kombat 3
    4. Battletoads Double Dragon
    3. Super Street Fighter 2
    2. Killer Instinct
    1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4 Turtles in Time
    These are the top five videogames missing from this list just my opinion.

  41. King of the Hill on August 12, 2020 at 9:49 pm

    Worst list ever!

  42. Alfred on August 12, 2020 at 9:50 pm

    Ufo Enemy unknown…. GTFO. 🤣🤣🤣

    Where’s Street Fighter? Mortal Kombat? Streets of Rage 2? Aladdin?

    Link to the Past, considered to be one of the GOAT at #4?

  43. Quintín Rodrigo Franco Chavez on August 12, 2020 at 9:50 pm

    Final Fantasy VI deserves a place in this top 10.

  44. M Scott Johnson on August 12, 2020 at 9:52 pm

    How is Zelda your best SNES game, yet Super Mari World places 2 spots before it on this list? Chrono Trigger too.

  45. Shin Ryu Ken on August 12, 2020 at 9:52 pm

    Super Metroid is better than Pokemon Red/Blue

  46. Mr T on August 12, 2020 at 9:52 pm

    Love yall, but where is your real list where Zelda ranks above chrono and doom??

  47. will Thomas on August 12, 2020 at 9:53 pm

    Pokemon Blue/red is a weird one. Cause it technically came out, early on in the 5th generation. Tho the GameBoy is a 4th gen handheld

  48. will Thomas on August 12, 2020 at 9:53 pm

    4th gen is the golden era imo! It’s just waaay too many great games, to only just name 10. They are leaving out a lot of Genesis and Arcade titles

  49. Master CC on August 12, 2020 at 9:57 pm

    4th generation is the best generation

  50. demonpride1975 on August 12, 2020 at 9:58 pm

    games that released between 1991 and 1995, but we will include pokemon red and blue even tho it was released February 28th 1996.
