31 Years Ago: The Games of 1995 - How Many Did You Play?

1995 was a AMAZING year for gaming, and in this video we take a look at 100 of the games released that year. There were two new players on the block; old veteran Sega gave us their new Saturn while new player Sony brought us their PlayStation, changing gaming forever! The first wave of those fancy 3D consoles were here, and the games started coming in; we saw the debut of series like Twisted Metal, Wipeout, and Air (Ace) Combat. The future was here! That's not to forget the older consoles, however. The SNES and Genesis were still getting some great titles to appease those who weren't crossing over to the next generation yet. Titles like Vectorman, Comix Zone, Terranigma, Chrono Trigger showed that there was still life in the 16-bit consoles. Even the humble Game Boy was getting some love with an entry in the Donkey Kong Country series. The arcades were also popular! Fighting games still ruled the coin munchers of the day with titles like Tekken 2, Mortal Kombat 3, Darkstalkers making their entrance. PC gamers were also having a blast; the explosion of the RTS genre started this year with the introduction of the Command and Conquer series, and the second entry in the Warcraft series. Adventures were still the business as Full Throttle and the FMV-laden Phantasmagoria and Gabriel Knight game showed us. And of course the FPS genre grew with titles like Dark Forces and Hexen being enjoyed by thousands. A truly amazing year for gaming!
