[Ren96]

Most of my favorite '90s games are from '95 or '97... For 1996:
1) Pokemon.
2) Panzer Dragoon II Zwei.
3) Megami Ibunroku Persona.
4) Nights into Dreams.
5) Sakura Wars.

Notable Mentions: Saturn Bomberman.

I've not played Dragon Force yet.

I have the impression that 1996 was Sega Saturn's year. The next year PS1 dominated, and a year before, the SNES (Chrono Trigger)...

[Mago]

Duke Nukem 3D
Guardian Heroes

I imagine the Pandora Directive will be a contender when I play it. ToonStruck is close but damn that rushed ending. Also really remember loving Lennus 2 but not sure how well itd hold up for me now. Chaos seed I need to play more of.
