From Power Rangers, Beanie Babies and Napster to frosted tips, dozens of boy bands and dozens of wannabe boy bands, the 1990s brought just about everything, including a video game revolution. We are 15 years removed from the decade dominated by N64, Game Boy and PlayStation but those video game systems and a few others are still seeing heavy use due to their large repertoire of groundbreaking and entertaining games.

Here are the best-selling video games worldwide between January 1, 1990 and December 31, 1999, starting with a couple classics from Game Boy:

25. Super Mario Land 3

Game Boy – 1994

24. Dr. Mario

Game Boy – 1990
