My Top 25 (+20) Games of the 5th Generation
The 5th gen was a weird one. It was a highly transitional era, pretty mind-blowing at the time, but the vast majority of the games from back then have aged incredibly poorly. So nostalgia winds up counting for a lot more here than it does in my other lists.
Here are my favorite 25 games in ranked order, with some runner-ups listed alphabetically.
Eligibility: Released on PS1, N64, Sega Saturn or Game Boy Color. Released on PC/Arcade during 1996-1999 in the US.
Noticeably missing because I haven't played them (much): FF Tactics, Baldur's Gate, Homeworld, Metal Gear Ghost Babel, the Resident Evil games.
