5)Spindizzy
6)Tetris
7)Secret of the silver blades (and other SSI D&D RPG's of that era)
8)R-Type
9)Gran Turismo
10)Speedball I & II

Quake I & II & III would probably lead the pack of FPS's in at around 15, only because of the multiplayer frenzy it produced. That was someting worth experiencing. The game itself wasn't particularly spectacular.

TA had nothing on Dark Reign or Starcraft. Its only claim to fame is that it was a good prototype for 3D RTS's, but it lacked some majorly important gameplay standards that had been used successfully in the sprite RTS's.

No, seriously, my fav's are:

- Quake x
- CTF
- Rocket Arena
- Team Fortress
- Head Hunters
- Gran Turismo x (just need a PS2 for GT2000 now. :( )
- Tony Hawk Pro Skater (just getting into that)

plus probably quite a few more...

Diablo II probably would have gotten a mention there if it was written a little better. I gave it points for addictiveness, but deducted a lot because of the frequent lockups and lack of anything other than 640x480.

Wolfenstein, for opening the doors to the FPS genre.
Doom Series, for taking it to the first step with multiplayer.
Quake Series, for refining multiplayer gaming and evolving it to where it is today.
Wing Commander series (though it started to lose flavour towards the end)
Speedball II, for its simplicty and fun-ness).
Populous Series, because being god is more fun than worshipping one.
Dungeon Keeper (hell, anything by bullfrog)
Sim City (more addictive than crack)
Dark Reign (yeh)
Rescue Raiders (Apple II)
Captain Goodnight (Apple II)
Oh, so many more.

quake is fun, but I have a special place in my heart for 'battle mode' in Mario Kart GP (SNES). Before quake, it was all we had - unless the guys at my gf's work would let me play on their shiny new 486 66's. Ah... Doom.

I tried to resist, but anyway...

Some of my fondest gaming memories occured sitting in front of my Commodore 64.

Remember the classics like:

Wizards of WOR
H.E.R.O
Pitfall
The Last Ninja
Double Dragon
River Raid
and
Frogger

Then I upgraded to a SEGA Megadrive in the height of console popularity. Much of my early teenage life was wasted in front of this little black box.

I was a Die-Hard Sega fan. To utter the word "Nintendo" was blasphemous.

Who could forget the Sonic series?
or Shinobi?
What about StreetFighter II?

This is bringing a tear to my eye.
I am being overwhelmed by a warm, fuzzy feeling of nostalgia.

I cant believe I sold my C64 and 400 games for $20.

If like to back on the past sgt.strex with such warmth.imagine how I feel when I look back on my induction to the gaming world it was sitting awe struck in front of a little wonder called a hamenix(s*** it was so long ago i can't remember how to spell it lol)playing games like pong and indy 500 which was nothing more than a couple of squares for cars and a TV screen that was for the most part blank.then of course I upgraded to the awesome power of the first Atari when my mum bought me one for my 11th birthday with games like
1.asteroids
2.missile command
3.defender
4.and of course the legendary
space invaders the game that hooked

i think that most of teh games here would be considered instant clasics and guranteed top 100 game of all time slots.

like master of orion. that still rocks today. i can't wait to see what they do with master of orion 3.

oh and TA had no flaws. the diversity of the units was it's biggest plus. though limiting u to 250 was annoying. but u did'nt need any more then that. i mean just 1 krogoth was f*****g awesome yet it would get owend by a buzzsaw so easily. how i fondly remember being in a 20 hours non stop game of TA. and i don't think anyone won that either :)

mario kart on snes was all skill and if you were a newbie...you sucked, if you were a pro..you were a PRO

mario64 takes less skill to master, has more flukeelements in it due to the course design and the items.

i cant believe the number fo people who's favourite games are recent pc games.
allthese games most of you talk about are just multiplayer blast away games.
older games had so much more to them. in my opinion the super nintendo was the ultimate gamming platform, soooo many awesome games, games with so much depth to them, pitty so many awesome rpgs weren't released in australia or even any english speaking countries.

thank god for emulators, and thank god for hte hard working people who translate and release english versions of all those snes games that never got released in english.

im sorry but ijust dont see how you can prefer wingcommander 1 to number 2
number 2 had waaaay more story, and it was an excellent story too
and the missions were generally a bit more tactical
the ships were better aswell

you knwoi always hated the hornet, you coudl hardly see anything out of that little windscreen, give me a broad sword with tripple mass driver cannons anyday!!!
holy s*** ithink im gonan start plyaing it again its so awesome

i will admit that wing commander 1 came with better documentation thoug, ship blue prints and character profiles
