89. Tomb Raider
Lara Croft is now a brand, and this is where it started. The original made the world feel big even in the confines of a tomb.
88. Sega Rally Championship
Still one of the smoothest-controlling racing games around.
87. Mr. Driller
It’s a dangerous job, drilling through blocks, but Mr. Driller made the task really, really fun.
86. Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast
This title put the “arcade” back into “arcade-style racing” with big drifts, great accessibility and sexy Ferraris.
85. Silent Hill 2
The sequel to Konami’s Silent Hill was even ghastlier than the first outing on the original PlayStation.
84. Phantasy Star Online
Phantasy Star Online’s attack combos were derived from crack cocaine.
83. Nights
In a console world where full 3D was getting all the attention, Nights took to the skies and went 2.5 to achieve results just as spectacular as full-on free-roamers.
82. Lemmings
They’re mindless little rodents, but you want to save them nonetheless in this addictive classic.
81. Robotron 2084
This game’s dual joystick configuration was new at the time, and its execution is worthy of recognition still today.
80. Virtua Tennis 3
Virtua Tennis 3 is the pinnacle of Sega’s stellar pick-up-and play tennis series—and we love the minigames.
