#2 1988 season Superbowl - not greatest game but I've never been as happy at the end of a game
#3 1984 Superbowl.. Montana shows Marino who really IS the best
#4 1981 Superbowl Great first half - terrible 2nd but NINERS ARE CHAMPS
#5 1994 Superbowl Youngs redemption. DOMINANCE!!!!!!!!!
#6 1989 Superbowl 2 in a row for first time.. Best team Niners ever had
#7 1988 Season - NFC title game.. go into Chicago in below freezing temps and dominate the favored Bears
#8 SF-Cincy reg season - Bill Walsh skipping off the field game
#9 WIld Card SF over GB FINALLY! TO doesnt drop the big one
#10 1994 season NFC title game DALLAS IS DETHRONED!
Basically all of these, I'd say. Maybe not in this order, but the games, probably.
Not sure if that SF Cincy game is the one where Young put the team on his back, with a torn groin and everything, and willed the team to 28-21 win after being down 21-0 at halftime, limping in with the game-winning run for a touchdown.
Yup . . . great list . . . for honorable mention I'd add the 1994 season opener when we waxed the Raiders and Jerry broke Jim Brown's TD record and the 1989 monday night game in Anaheim . . . JT's two 90+ TD's.
Best loss I can remember 1982 . . . strike shortened season . . . Fouts vs Montana at the Stick . . . 1,000 yards in offense . . . Fouts got the ball last and the Chargers won 41-37 . . .

1980 Coming back from 35-7 in OT to beat New Orleans one of the coldest days ever at the stick left at halftime and listened to the game on radio as the Niners came back, OUCH.
1981 First meeting with Cowboys beat them 45-14 previous year had beat us 59-14 in Dallas. The Cowboys laughed in our faces the whole time. When they knocked out Hofer Cowboy fans cheered it was disgusting. Started 5 game winning streak and made Niners legit. FYI.. ABC would not show highlights of game next day on MNF which had Walsh very p**sed off. Back in the day was very big deal to make MNF highlights.
1981 NFC Championship game – Over came 6 turnovers for “The Catch” nough said.
1981 SB our first, great first half, incredible stand and Bunz tackle of Alexander will live forever
1984 SB all the talk was about Marino. East coast media didn’t give us a chance forgot had Montana, 3rd highest rated defense and we had gone 15-1 missing perfect season due to missed field goal.
1989 Niners vs. Rams: John Taylor 286 total yards helping launch a MNF come from behind victory in LA
1989 NFC Champ game Niners vs. Rams watching Jim Everett falling down with no one around him and taking a sack is a priceless memory. Lott covering 40+ yards to break up a sure TD catch.
1989 SB against Cincy and “The Drive”. Horrible game up until "The Drive” and Montana famous John Candy moment.
1994 NFC champ game 49ers and Cowboys finally beat the boys and Young gets the monkey off his back in SB
2002 playoff game against Giants and the come from behind victory Garcia put together.
Honorable mention
Playoff game against Bears in Chicago smacked them 28-3 supposedly we could not play in cold weather
TO catch against Packers in the playoffs
Any time we beat the Cowboys or Rams
Hey Bejaard I see that you did it in Chronological order which is great !
I've watched or listened to all except your number 1. Honestly, I didn't see the NO game in 1980 because I wasn't really cognizant at the time (I was 12)
I remember the Dallas game 45-14 like it was yesterday. My dad, brother, and I were driving back from duck hunting listening to the game on the radio. I still get goose bumps thinking about that game.
From that moment on, I believed in Dwight Hicks and the Hot Licks, Fred Dean, and Hacksaw.
The rest is history.
