- Die Spiele werden nach dem aggregierten Kritikerscore von 100 gewertet, importiert von IGDB und Metacritic, nie nach den Tier-eigenen Wertungen.
- Ein Spiel kommt erst ab 30 externen Bewertungen ins Ranking, damit eine einzelne begeisterte Rezension nie einen bewährten Klassiker überholt.
- Jedes Spiel wird nur in einem Genre gewertet, dem prägendsten, damit derselbe Titel nie zwei verschiedene Genre-Charts anführt.
- Die Community-Wertungen von F bis S stehen neben jedem Spiel und werden erst ab 5 Tier-Bewertungen als Fakt ausgewiesen.
- Abgedeckter Erscheinungszeitraum: 1994.
- 10 Spiele stehen auf dieser Seite, zusammen mit 763 Bewertungen.
- Die Ranglisten werden stündlich neu berechnet; diese wurde am 29 September 2026 zuletzt neu aufgebaut.

Tekken (1994)
Tekken is a fighting game and the first entry in what would become the Tekken series and franchise.

Killer Instinct (1994)
Killer Instinct is a fighting game developed by Rare and published by Midway and Nintendo. It was released as an arcade game in the fall of 1994 and, the following year, ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and the Game Boy. The game's plot involves an all-powerful corporation organising a fighting tournament. The story was adapted in a limited comic book series published under the short-lived Acclaim Comics imprint. Killer Instinct features several gameplay elements unique to fighting games of the time. Instead of fighting enemies in best-of-three rounds bouts, each player has two life bars. The player that depletes the other player's life bars first wins the match. The game also introduced "auto-doubles", a feature which allows players to press a certain sequence of buttons to make characters automatically perform combos on opponents. Also featured in the game are "combo breakers", special defensive moves that can interrupt combos.
