wow Pac-Man didnt even make the list

neither did everquest thats surprising because there are ppl that lost there job because all they would do is stay home and play that game

neither did Mortal Kombat wow

i don't know i think they screwed up on this top 100 list

[smackman]

the top 6 were predicted, but final fantasy 2 at number 9?!?!?!?! Final Fantasy 3 is head and shoulders above 2!!!!!!! they need to switch 2 and 3, then it would be good.

Oh yeah FF3 is waaaaaay better than FF2. The amazing story, the beautiful music, the tons of playable characters, and the Esper summons were awesome looking. FF2 was good, but pretty corny at times. No way in hell better than FF3. Not by a long shot. Like comparing a Lambourghini to a Geo Metro. Im SUPER pissed that FF7 didn't make the list at all. That's my favorite game of all time. Top 100 my arse.

Why the hell is FFX on the list but not VII, X is crap compared to VII, hell X wasn't even that good, Chrono Trigger should be higher up, and no mention of any of the Suikoden Games? Virtua Fighter 2 but no Tekken Games? Where is FF Tactics? No Fire Pro Wrestling? I didn't see WWF No Mercy either, man that list blows...

[phillymadison]

o ya WWF no mercy probably the greatest wrestling game ever

[Siccx Degree]

Taking another look at that list, I'm not surprised seeing as how you can't spell Ignorant without I G N...

FF7 should be #1 in my book. I almost forgot about FFT. That game is great, despite the fact that it became super easy once Orlandou joined your party. Suikoden should have been on there too that game ROCKED! I would have liked to see Xenogears on there also that was a biotchin game.

[Siccx Degree]

Ah how could I forget Xenogears, that game is a Masterpiece...

[The Shizit]

anyone realize that the original Zelda (argueably the best NES game ever) didnt even make the list. oy vey, i think we need to do our own top 100 list!

[Ridureyu]

FFX, VI, and V are my personal favorites... never was much of a fan of VII.

[Tortle]

Hm... no Zelda, no Mortal Kombat (not even Mortal Kombat 2), and most noticably no Pac-Man... yet there were dozens of games released in the last 5 years on the list that have questionable staying power. This list was obviously generated by 12-year-olds who have never even played Pong. Speaking of which, how the hell could Pong NOT be on the list?!

Hence why G4's list top 100 list is much better, they have been airing it all week, though you have to put up with Hall Sparks wisecracks but their list is much better. I missed 20 to 1 though.

Oh yeah and most of the games you guys said weren't on the IGN list (I just call them copy cats) were on G4's Mortal Kombat was in the top 40

[The Shizit]

is G4 a website or a Tv show? cuz my cable sucks the big one.

I'm glad SMB made 100, but dayyyumn, you right, Nathan!!!

Pong, though not the most amazing game, has historical value, as in it was the first of it's kind. It paved the way to all these new fangled 3-D annoying, fall into the hole type games.

And MsPacman but no Pac man original? E-gad!!!

[AmoiMan]

hmm....

Super Mario Bros. 3
FF 7
Pong
River City Ransom
The Legend of Zelda
........


I thought the top 10 was mad good, though, except I've neverheard of X-com. The reason FF 2 beat three was probably because it was a more revolutionary game, being the first 16-bit incarnation of the series, and 3 was an evolutionary step beyond it

[Adamantiumwulf]

except I've neverheard of X-com.

X-com is awsome. Do a search for it and see if you can find someplace to download it. The game is old and the graphics are dated but the gameplay is awsome.

You have to manage your base(s). Defense, research, production, trainging your squad, Healing them after battle. Then you have to shoot down UFO's and go investigate the crash sites and try to caputure some aliens alive. As well as the aliens harrasing tht people of the world. Depending on how well you do your funding is either increased or decreased. I could go into a ton of detail about the game but you should check it out.

It Rocks

And to agree with Nate, where was Pong? It was the first home video game, and it was addicting as hell when you didn’t have any other options.

I was kind of surprised not to see Donkey Kong either, and that SimCity was on there twice. What’s the difference between SimCity and SimCity2000?

But I have to stick up for Ms. Pac-Man. She was WAY better than her male counterpart. They did a good job of explaining why she was better.

Oh yeah... why no Donkey Kong??? Look at how many games he's been in, and the original isn't ON THERE??!?!

As for Ms. pacMan ... well.. here we go with the History factor again...

Pac Man came out first, so it's historically significant. It's like sayuing Frasier is one of the 100 Television shows, and not nominating Cheers.

But it is a much better game... I feel like a doofus playing it though... Couldn't it just be pac Man 2?

G4tv.com is the website yet it is a station as well
