What do you guys think?

Any gripes?

Any praise?

Any predictions?

i cant believe final fantasy 3 was #43. thats a damn travesty! thats one of the best RPG's on SNES with only Chrono Trigger right by its side. both should be in the top 10. and we all know super mario bros is going to be #1.

[Tortle]

Speaking of travesties, Galaga was placed at #73! WTF?! This game is so popular that 90% of the arcades still have it 20 years after it was released, and they recently rereleased Galaga in a brand-new arcade machine. Galaga should clearly be in the top 20, at least.

And if Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man isn't in the top ten, then this list is a joke!

I'd agree that Super Mario Bros. will probably be #1. Good call! Tetris will also probably be pretty high, maybe within the top 20.

Personally, I think The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time will be # 1

[AmoiMan]

I also feel that it's probably incredibly hard to put together a list like this, spanning all genres and platforms. I almost feel like a bunch of the ones on there could be switched around, and it should be more like "these are the 100 best games, in no definite order"

but I feel they've done a mad good job so far, putting those obscure good games on there, as well as the mainstream titles.

I'm glad to see these two made it...

Name: Adventure
Platform: Atari 2600
Developer: Atari
Publisher: Atari
Year Released: 1978
Why it Made the Top 100 List: A title that's full of firsts: the first graphical adventure (it was actually inspired by a text-based game of the same name), the first game to introduce objects players could pick up and move and the first Easter Egg in videogame history (hidden credits for the lead programmer/designer Warren Robinett). This early masterpiece on the 2600 was about a good a game as you can cram into 4k. While lacking by today's standards, Adventure was an amazing game for its time, and certainly influenced all action-adventure games from the King's Quest series to The Legend of Zelda.

Name: Wolfenstein 3-D
Platform: PC
Developer: id Software
Publisher: Activision, Apogee, GT Interactive
Year Released: 1992
Why it Made the Top 100 List: You know the shot heard round the world? You could consider Wolfenstein 3-D to be the gaming version of that. That first shot from BJ Blazkowitz fathered countless games over the years including a revisit to the castle nine years later. While it was preceded by its cousin Catacombs 3-D, Wolfenstein 3-D had a much greater impact on the industry and gamers making it one of the most influential games of all times. Along with its younger brother DOOM, Wolf 3-D popularized the 3D FPS, and started a new revolution in gaming.

Hmmm...interesting.

I have not seen Doom or Unreal yet on that list. They must be closer to the top then , or they didn't make it.

[Drtooth]

I like How Sam and Max got on the list... but

Kid Icarus and Excite Bike WTF?!??!?

Those were the worst games I've ever played. One was impossible, the other was boring...

[AmoiMan]

Doom made it...it's like # 44 or thereabouts

[The Shizit]

i would like to see where Myst and The Sims rate. the sims is the best selling computer game of all time and it took that title from Myst. even though Myst is a horrid game! the sims rawks

[phillymadison]

First off i think Saturn Bomberman should have been #1

that game was awsome on the old Saturn Netlink

But i think super mario brothers will be #2

I think the man that started it all Pac Man will be #1

also Joust better be in the top 20

[swoodington]

Kid Icarus and Excite Bike WTF?!??!?

Those were the worst games I've ever played. One
was impossible, the other was boring...

I agree. Thats funny I thought I just didn't have the patience. LOL!




Wheres shinning force 3 thats a great game. & what about Dragon warrior games?

[smackman]

i cant believe final fantasy 3 was #43. thats a damn travesty! thats one of the best RPG's on SNES with only Chrono Trigger right by its side. both should be in the top 10. and we all know super mario bros is going to be #1.

I totally agree. Final Fantasy 3 and ChronoTrigger are definitely in my top 10 of favorite games (see avatar<<<). Magus Rules! CT better show up on there. Along with Castlevania Symphony of the Night, and Final Fantasy 7. I was also pissed that Metal Gear Solid wasn't higher up it was like #35 or so.

Kid Icarus and Excite Bike WTF?!??!?

Those were the worst games I've ever played. One was impossible, the other was boring...

I let that go the first time, but now two of you say that? I haven't played kid icarus much, but mad people talk of how good it is. Excitebike, on the other hand, is definitely one of the greats. What other game of it's time had an option to make a custom track....or custom anything for that matter. Plus it was incredibly fun. It also incorporated overheating....again, an innovation....lastly...the music simply rocks, haha

Sorry I should've been more descriptive. Kid Icarus Is impossible (for myself anyway ) to beat. Excite bike was fun when It first came out. I was refering to Kid Icarus on the first post.

[The Shizit]

I ALWAYS OVERHEATED! DAMN YOU EXCITE BIKE!

[The Shizit]

i beat kid icarus on the nes emulator for my computer. f4 saves at anytime, so pretty much any game could be beaten. i know i would have never beaten that game though w/o instant save.

[AmoiMan]

20 - 11 is posted....and not what I expected

[The Shizit]

chrono trigger #12... the top ten is already a travesty and it isnt even out yet!

[AmoiMan]

I thought that was a good spot for Chrono trigger....damn good....depending on what is ranked higher

[phillymadison]

Ms Pac man #13 wow

#3 maybe not 13

o well

[smackman]

I thought that was a good spot for Chrono trigger....damn good....depending on what is ranked higher

I think CT should have been higher. At least it was up there. Castlevania SOTN should have been higher though. FF7 better be in the top 10.

[AmoiMan]

.......At least it was up there.......

that's how i've been looking at the list. i'm looking generally in 20s. top 100, top 80, top 60, top 40, top 20.

And of course top 10, too

[The Shizit]

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.

[arforbes]

Doom made it...it's like # 44 or thereabouts

Cool! Thanks Amoiman!
