So entsteht diese Rangliste
- 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.
- 8 Spiele stehen auf dieser Seite, zusammen mit 1,408 Bewertungen.
- Die Ranglisten werden stündlich neu berechnet; diese wurde am 29 September 2026 zuletzt neu aufgebaut.

EarthBound

FINAL FANTASY VI
Final Fantasy VI is the sixth main installment in the Final Fantasy series, developed and published by Square. It was the final title in the series to feature two-dimensional graphics, and the first story that did not revolve around crystals. The game gives players up to fourteen playable characters, the largest cast in the series, and features the Active Time Battle pseudo-turn based menu command system. A party can consist of up to four characters, though some events require the player to assemble three different parties of up to four and switch between them. Each character has a unique command ability, such as Terra's Trance, Locke's Steal, Edgar's Tools or Sabin's Blitz, and can also learn Magic spells from earning AP from battles with magicite equipped. Each character's rare Desperation Attack will randomly activate after using the Attack command when at critical health.

Master of Magic
You came to the world of Arcanus as a fledgling wizard. Sparsely equipped with but a spell or two, you begin as the ruler of a tiny hamlet and its people. With these raw materials, you must build a thriving city, explore the two worlds of Arcanus and Myrror, expand your empire and learn new spells. In time, you will meet other wizards, each rising from equally humble beginnings, each having the same goal as you, namely conquering the worlds. How well you allocate resources, make use of your races’ potentials, seize opportunities and negotiate with other wizards determines your eventual success. In the end, though, there can be only one Master of Magic!
