Missing the best PC classics of 1992: Wolfenstein 3D, Ultima VII, Dune 2, and of course Star Control II.

Wow! Half the list is comprised of SNES titles: and they are still some of the best games of all time!

So many great games in 92. Super Mario Kart, Contra 3, SOR2, Link to the Past & Sonic 2 are each all time classics in my eyes. Magical Quest was the first game I ever beat (I was around 7 at the time), so it also holds a special place in my heart.

I was only 22 in 1992 great times with Amiga kind off wish it was possible to time travel to back the I feel ancient at 53 now.

Such a great year for gaming. But let's give special attention to Streets Of Rage 2's soundtrack. Which is so good that it even eclipsed the mighty Sonic 2's. The first opening beats just pull me back to that year. Fate of Atlantis also deserved it's accolade fir best point & click that year. I played it on the Amiga and it really pushed my 9 year old brain.

If you haven't played it you should download streets of rage remake. SOR 2 is easily one of the best and most forward thinking soundtracks ever, the first is a great one too, all hail Yuzo Koshiro, gaming legend. I grew up on my mega drive/genesis (I'm from the UK), am 40 years old so was 10 when streets of rage 2 came out, I loved Revenge of Shinobi too, again all hail Yuzo Koshiro for that soundtrack

Soulblazer and everything from Quintet rocks. That said, there are a few PC games released that year (in the US) that deserve mention: Ultima VII: Pretty much perfected the early persistent open-world sandbox RPG Dune II: the first great RTS Star Trek: 25th Anniversary: the only good Star Trek game ever made? Wolfenstein 3D: the first FPS worth a damn

I replay King's Quest 6 at least once a year; it's one of the few games I'd consider doing a Quick Play of. More importantly: Sierra made a host of awesome PC games back in those days.

Great stuff again guys I do enjoy your vids thank you

My personal top 10 of 1992: Thunder Force IV, Desert Strike, Sonic 2, Road Rash 2, Contra 3, Alien 3 (Mega Drive) Soldier Blade, Gate of Thunder, Streets of Rage 2, Mario Kart. I've never played Alone in the Dark or Link to the Past so I can't comment on those but they are on my future to try list.

Random: The best-selling album relesased in 1992 is THE BODYGUARD (SOUNDTRACK) by WHITNEY HOUSTON which sold 45,000,000 copies.

Magical Quest Is a deceptively great game. Especially in a age when Disney games were suitable for 6 yr Olds and younger. (I was 7) It's actually quite replayable to this day

Sonic 2 was my fav- I realized early there was a game under the x-mas tree...well that box shape is undeniably and though I felt guilty, I had to play it so careful unwrapped it played it for hours and rewrapped it. I acted extra surprised at x-mas morning.

Wait, the evil guy in KQ VI is actually called "Abdul Al Hazred"? Totally missed that as a kid somehow^^

if you guys never played Castle of Illusion for Genesis, give it a play. it's a Mickey Mouse game, but the graphics are so cool, and it's such a creative game. i don't care much for Disney stuff, but that's probably one of the most creatively designed games i've ever seen.

I loved Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis when I was a kid. There was 3 ways to solve every puzzle and 3 endings, depending how you did the final part. It was always punch, talk or sneak your way through a situation. Great game.

The nostalgia is almost too much. The early 90s was the very best decade in gaming, with more all-time classics coming out than in any other. Also, it was a pleasant surprise seeing Soul Blazer just squeak onto this list .

Zelda Past would have made a fine honorable mention to have it in the best of 91

12:58 "Zelda - A Link to the Past", as epicly good as it is, is NOT an RPG, but an Action Adventure.

I have very vague memories of 92. No memories of the games though

Fun fact: Billy Ray Cyrus had a Billboard 200 #1 album for several months in 1992.

I really actually have each and every single one of these games to this very day!!

Soul Blazer looks and plays like Ys, I'm going to have to check it out.

Sad no Shin Megami Tensei. It started a massive franchise and even a genre.

Final Fantasy V & Wolfenstein 3D if you ask me the best games from 1992.
