I got bored one day and started my 90s playlist for next month. I came up with a new solution to what always ends up being a gigantic list I can't possibly tackle. Here 'tis. 

Firstly, to concentrate on only original hardware, no collections or ports on other systems. Secondly, make as short a list as possible and play them to decide if they belong on a top 10 list or not. If the list drops below 10, start and play another list. 

The top 10 list goal is something I like and applied to my previous lists even ones for reading and music. 

So here's what I got:

Games from 1990 only: 

1. Final Fantasy Legend (GB) - I own the third game in this series. Pricey?
2. Astyanax (NES) - Probably won't make the cut, but I own it. 
3. Final Fantasy (NES) - Will definitely make the top 10 and I own it. 
4. Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (NES) - Diddo Final Fantasy. 
5. Swords & Serpents (NES) - Played long time ago, maybe bad, want to revisit. Likely cheap.
6. Dragon Warrior II (NES) - Not affordable, but a likely top 10. 
7. North & South (NES) - I own the remake, maybe original is affordable? Unknown quality. 
8. Golden Axe (Genesis) - Top 10 for sure and I own it. 
9. Phantasy Star II (Genesis) - Likely top 10. Own in collections. Original pricey. 
10. Fire Shark (Genesis) - Top 10. Sequel to Fire Shark. A down/up shooter. I own it. 
11. Sword of Sodan (Genesis) - I own this but I remember it's terrible. Will revisit to confirm. 
12. Cars Wars Tanks (Board) - Affordable? I played Car Wars with my college roommate. 

The SNES hadn't come out yet in '90, but I'll get to that with the 1991 list, but not before evaluating this current list. I predict it will contract to about 6 titles. 

That's it. I'm off to a library book sale.
