Top 5 Games Charts: March 1996

June 7, 2013 By ausretrogamer

March 1996 saw the release of the brilliant Coen brothers movie, Fargo. In the same month, we were bopping away to Take That’s “How deep is your love” (we did?!) and the Prodigy’s “Firestarter” (that’s more like it!).

The Sega Mega Drive and Saturn were embroiled in their own 16-bit vs 32-bit war, while Nintendo’s SNES was being stretched to it’s maximum capability.

These were the top games that had us glued to our consoles in March 1996:

 

SNES 1) Donkey Kong Country 2 (Nintendo)
2) Yoshi’s Island (Nintendo)
3) Killer Instinct (Nintendo)
4) FIFA Soccer ’96 (EA)
5) Street Racer (Ubisoft)

 

MegaDriveGen 1) FIFA Soccer ’96 (EA)
2) Premier Manager (Sega)
3) Sonic & Knuckles (Sega)
4) Micro Machines ’96 (Codemasters)
5) Mickey Mania (Sony)

 

SONY DSC 1) Virtua Fighter 2 (Sega)
2) FIFA Soccer ’96
3) Firestorm: Thunderhawk 2 (Core Design)
4) Virtua Cop (Sega)
5) Daytona USA (Sega)
