What was the game ranking like thirty years ago?

At that time, it was still a home phone world, and PC games were not yet popular on a large scale. The games that players can learn about are all on the home computer platform. In 1993, it was the heyday of PCE, MD and SFC, during which there were a large number of games affecting later generations, which laid the foundation for the development of the game industry in the next few decades.

Those sincere games in the early years were kept in mind by the players, and even became divine works many years later.

GAME concentration Camp has always admired Sega's games, and there are a large number of related games in almost every magazine. Although the super Nintendo is the same hot, but the domestic ownership rate is not high, often ten Sega players have only one super Nintendo. Therefore, there are relatively few records in the magazine.

Today, the editor will come with you to recall the "ranking of MD games of the year 1993" recorded by Diansoft. See which games are immortal and which games are lost in the public!

No. 1: "Musketeer Hero"

In previous years, the number one game ranking was RPG, but it was topped by this shooter in 1993. It is estimated that many friends did not expect it.

But if you have come into contact with games related to treasure, you will find that the greatness of this game company, each game is a masterpiece that can remain immortal. And "musket Hero" is one of the most representative games.

The bullet combination is the biggest highlight of the game, and the jump attack is the core operation of the game. Although it is a shooting game, but the process is very long, and the story is relatively complete (I didn't understand the plot at that time, I skipped it directly).

In the early 1990s, "musket Hero" even appeared in arcade halls because it was so classic that it was forcibly transplanted to the arcade platform by pirates. It is for this reason that even players who have not been exposed to the MD game may have been exposed to the game.

I remember that in order to find this game, the editor once turned over all the arcades but could not find them.

It wasn't known until a long time later that the game was released on the MD platform, and there is no arcade simulator to play the game at all.

Second place: "Dream Star IV"

In the early 1990s, RPG games were very popular, and by this time, the super IP "Warriors fight Dragons" and "final Fantasy" had already accounted for half of the RPG games.

On the MD side, due to functional limitations, the early RPG game was crushed by SFC. In order to improve its popularity, Sega had to innovate during the period of "Dream Star 3", but it ended in failure.

Just when people thought the series would stop there, IV, the pinnacle of the Dream Star series at the end of 1993, directly decided Sega's life and death in the field of RPG games.

In the end, "Dream Star IV" used its strength to tell players that MD is also the best choice for RPG players.

The emergence of "Dream Star IV" is precisely to counter "the brave fight against dragons" and "final fantasy". At that time, the emergence of "the end of the millennium of the dream star IV" did earn Sega a lot of RPG popularity, barely breaking the dominance of "the brave fight the dragon" and "final fantasy".

For many years, the Dream Star has been closely followed by the final Fantasy of the Warrior against the Dragon. What's more, it launched the sensational "Dream Star Online" in the later stage.

The third place: "Dream the Story of the Museum"

How many players, like me, saw the name for the first time and thought it was "Dream Poe".

Dreaming of the Story of the Pavilion was definitely a rare masterpiece at that time. Plot, picture, planner and other awards are among the best, and even directly won the first prize for best screenplay.

"Dream the Story of the Pavilion" is definitely one of the strongest games to create an atmosphere at that time.

The publicity focuses on "thriller". When you really play, you will find that there is nothing to be afraid of, but the more you play, the more frightened you will be. It is a shiver from the bottom of your heart.

The plot of the game is somewhat similar to the House of the rotting corpse, in which the female owner is confused by a butterfly into a strange house, while the male master can only follow him. The whole process is a journey on the run.

Fourth place: "Silver Star Fighter" this game can be said to be Sega MD CD's strongest flight shooting game, completely draining the skills of the host computer.

In the early 1990s, 3D games were very popular. Although the 3D technology is not mature at this time, it has been used in many games. In the eyes of players at that time, 3D games = high-end.

The operation and feel of the Silver Star Fighter is amazing, and the three-dimensional feeling is very strong. If Sega resets the game screen today, it will definitely be very popular.

Fifth place: "Dinosaur Wars 2" recorded in the magazine is "Dinosaur Wars 2", now commonly known as "Dinosaur Brothers 2" on the Internet.

Players play the role of Creator, breed dinosaurs in the game, and control a variety of environments to ensure the growth and reproduction of dinosaurs. And against the monsters created by aliens, and finally succeeded in protecting the earth.

Painting style is very lovely strategy game, the difficulty will increase with the increase of the level, very durable to play a game. There are even a lot of little friends who haven't cleared customs for several years.

The following rankings are as follows:

Knight Legend, Light and Dark, Dolphin Adventure, Sonic Boy, confused Girl Gongmei, Catlint, Dayin, Aladdin, Wrath Iron fist 2, Keiying guerrillas, Victory Horse Race, Union Football, Street Fighter 2PLUS, Super Ⅱ, EX Mobile God of War, Rocket Cavaliers, MAD & MIGHT CD, NIGHT STRKLE, Holy Devil Legend 3 × 3 EYES CD, CD Taige determined Biography, three Kingdoms Ⅲ, CD, Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty (CD), Ninja Warriors (CD), Sonic Boots, Middle East War, Nobutaka Wild Wangs, Legend of the hungry Wolf, CD

I don't know what games you came into contact with at that time? Of course, the names of some of these games are slightly different from those we are familiar with. It's like the Great Bin Brew, which we called "Battle Maria 2 Great Yin Brew" at that time.

Note: the magazine pictures in the article are quoted in the GAME concentration Camp.

Today, when we reflect on these magazines again, there is always some special emotion in it. Excited with a trace of aftertaste, a trace of nostalgia. This feeling seems to open up the "God's perspective", let us look at people's views on games in the 1990s from the perspective of people who have been there. The collision of views and spiritual blending that have spanned several times.

"there are so many things in ancient and modern times, they all laugh and talk about them."

Game magazine, witnessing the rise of an era, has left us a lot of precious information, which is worth digging a little bit. Thanks to the major magazines that made outstanding contributions to the development of the game at that time.

Right or wrong, it is enough to bring us happiness in that age of material scarcity.
