    It blows my mind how many iconic games came out that year, looking at that list… Also Sonic Adventure, Goldeneye and Ocarina of Time all came out in the same year??

      It reminds me of how Weird Al’s wonderful movie UHF didn’t do great in theaters, being released in the summer of 1989. That meant it was competing against the following blockbusters:

      • Ghostbusters II
      • Back to the Future Part II
      • Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
      • Lethal Weapon 2
      • Batman
      • Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

        Not to mention? Imo, Spyro, MGS, Half Life, and Pokémon should be the main arguments for GOAT. The rest mentioned are just supplemental.
