    I put this video together after spending a while thinking about what made an impression on me in the 90's, with regards to gaming/computing. I'm certainly not expecting agreement on the choices, I'd be kidding myself otherwise. These ten things, I hope, conjour up some nostalgia for you.:)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlVlq3aJuvM

    Batman Returns on the SNES! It was so satisfying to grab an enemy and throw him 'up' the screen instead of across. As a beat 'em up I think it was as good as if not better than Final Fight. Wipeout was super impressive, the glow effects on the weapons were wicked.

    Worms was great, originally written in Blitz for the amiga, then on to fame and fortune on the PS, very cool.
    Loved the random level generator and the voice samples "traitior", "I'll get you" and so on.
    Also liked the cutscenes, like the one where a worm sneezes and see's the live grenade in his "hand" before exploding
