Hoe deze ranglijst is opgebouwd
- Games worden gerangschikt op de samengestelde criticiscore op 100 die van IGDB en Metacritic komt, nooit op de eigen scores van Tier.
- Een game komt pas in de ranglijst vanaf 80 externe beoordelingen, zodat één enthousiaste recensie nooit een bewezen klassieker voorbijstreeft.
- Elke game wordt in slechts één genre gerangschikt, het genre dat hem het best typeert, zodat dezelfde titel nooit twee verschillende genrelijsten aanvoert.
- De community-scores van F tot S staan naast elke game en worden pas als feit gesteld boven 5 Tier-beoordelingen.
- Gedekte releaseperiode: 1999.
- 10 games staan op deze pagina, samen goed voor 3,055 beoordelingen.
- De ranglijsten worden elk uur herberekend; deze is op 29 september 2026 opnieuw opgebouwd.
Top 10
01
Chrono Cross
CHRONO CROSS, the sequel to the SNES favorite CHRONO TRIGGER, is one of the most ambitious role-playing games ever made. There are over 40 playable characters, each with their back-story, special moves, abilities, and weapons. The story spans two discs and follows the story of Serge, a young man who is able to cross dimensions. Suddenly he is pulled between worlds, trying to figure out his own past at the same time. The graphics are bright and beautiful, utilizing the PlayStation's capabilities to the fullest. The polygonal character models are huge and detailed, and the pre-rendered backgrounds are immaculately detailed. The music is composed and arranged by Yasunori Mitsuda, and features very realistic-sounding synthesizers. The battle system revolves around Elements, which are used to grant magical powers, as well as to summon huge monsters. For anyone that wanted to see the story of CHRONO TRIGGER continue, this is your chance.

Gorky 17
November 2008. NATO intelligence services report that, for reasons unknown, the Russian military has destroyed GORKY 17, one of the old Soviet "Secret Cities". A year later NATO takes over a former Russian secret base built on Polish soil. Diggers discover a laboratory complex in the completely demolished town. After examining the wreckage, NATO decides to leave the lab as it is. But shortly afterwards the town's previously deserted streets are suddenly teeming with hordes of grotesquely deformed creatures. Word soon gets out to the media, making it impossible for NATO to simply destroy the site. So troops are ordered to hermetically seal the area. Nobody is allowed in or out. A team of three NATO specialists under the leadership of the Canadian Cole Sullivan is sent in to examine the horrifying events on the ground. Will they discover the terrible secret of "Gorky 17"? And more important - will they live to tell about it? Be prepared for intrigue, betrayal and even some romance. A host of multiple-choice dialog scenes present you with constant choices - many of which can have some unpredictable effects ...FEATURES:The combination of adventure, RPG and strategy elements gives the game a uniquely original feel The best of three genres: (1) exploration and interaction with a challenging world (2) character development and (3) challenging high-level tactical combat.

Pokémon Stadium
In the game's Stadium Mode, one player competes in 80 different battles, divided into four tournaments. Beat the Stadium Mode and you're in for a bonus battle against the ultimate Pokémon warrior, Mewtwo, as well as a secret mode that gives you 80 brand-new, and devilishly tough battles. There is virtually no way you can beat the secret mode without having trained your own, elite Pokémon. One to four players compete against each other or the computer in a no-holds-barred battle with customizable rules. You can select rental Pokémon for these battles -- but that makes them much too predictable since their selection of techniques isn't determined by the trainer. You can also select quick and easy versus and random battles.
