#1 Contra
Another fan favorite of the 90s. Contra was the epitome of side-scrolling shooters. Another really really challenging game but rewarding at the same time, Contra paved the way for future platform shooters.
The game had a lot of mechanics and was way ahead of its gen. A prime example of the fact that the game set benchmarks for future games is the various different guns the game in the form of powerups.
