What are your top five games of the year 1990?
 
In no particular order:

Thunder Force III
Mega Man 3
Ys Book I & II
Super Mario Bros. 3 (technically 1988, but released in 1990 for NA)
The Secret of Monkey Island
 
Super Mario World did not release in the US until 1991. This was toward the end of the NES era. One of my favorites was Silk Worm from Sammy because it was 2 player shoot'em up. One person had a plane and the other drove a Jeep. Another one was Dusty Diamonds All Star softball. Characters were weird like a witch who could fly on her broom to catch fly balls, or a devil with a giant spiked clubbed bat. Super Mario 3 would be another favorite for 1990. I liked turning into the raccoon and flying around more than completing the levels.
 
Huh, Ultima VI was 1990? Not much longer until they release Underworld, which blows people away with its 3D environments that will soon be outperformed by the first game from a business software developer on a $299 console.

Anyway, Super Martin Bros 3. I feel like this list is missing most released I'd like, though.
 
Oh mai.

Super Mario World
Dragon Quest IV
Final Fantasy III

I played F-zero too, but I don't think I actually like or have played enough games from the year to justify a top 5.
 
-Super Star Soldier
-Mizubaku Adventure / Liquid Kids
-Down Load
-Air Buster / Aero Blasters
-Out Zone
 
Simple but true classics:
  • Super Mario World
  • Castlevania III
  • MegaMan 3
  • F-Zero
  • Commander Keen
 
Mario 3
Castle of Illusion
Golden Axe
Strider
Konami's Aliens arcade game
 
i have no console in 1990 yet. i got it in 1992/3 I think.
and if it's about 1990 mentioned above, I played Chip n Dale a lot, and finished it a lot. one of my favorite game. I think i will need to replay it again someday

How long is a gaming session for you?

Self explanatory. Mine last 20-40 minutes depending on what I'm doing in the game. How about you?
