The special 200th edition of Electronic Gaming Monthly (Feb. 2006 issue) has a list of the All Time Top 200 video games across all platforms.

TRON Arcade made the list at number 43. No mention of any other TRON games.

By comparison, the top 10 games were:


10. Pong - Arcade - 1972
09. Grand Theft Auto III - PS2 - 2001
08. The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time - N64 - 1998
07. Space Invaders - Arcade - 1978
06. Super Mario 64 - N64 - 1996
05. The Legend of Zelda - NEW - 1987
04. Tetris - Multiplatform - 1988
03. Street Fighter II - Arcade - 1991
02. Pac Man - Arcade - 1980
01. Super Mario Brothers - NES - 1985


So what do you all think of this list?

Other than 8 and 9, I agree with the top 10. I love that so many arcade games got their props over the new games. An excellent overall listing.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

I would not personally rank FF7 as a top game, but I can see where it would be by others.

Here are the placings for that series on the list.


133. Final Fantasy X - PS2 - 2001
036. Final Fantasy III - Super NES - 1994
029. Final Fantasy II - Super NES - 1991
027. Final Fantasy VII - PlayStation - 1997


After reviewing the list, I would say you are right. Nintendo is heavily represented on that list. Genesis games are in short supply, as are most of the other platforms. Perhaps not the greatest 200 after all, unless you work for Nintendo.

I just didn't like it. Sorry.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Karate Champ - Arcade - 1984 placed 105 on the list.

Ultima is not represented anywhere on the list.

PC games are not represented at all on this list unless they accidentally fall into the 'Multiplatform' designation.

I'd like to see this list with all gaming genres included.

I hate these "best games of all time" lists. They should NOT lump the games from various formats together. They're just being lazy. Top lists should be done for each format, so that the best games from each get representation.

There should be a "top 100" Arcade list, PC list, 2600 list, Intellivision list, Colecovision list, NES list, Genesis list, SNES list, N64 list, Dreamcast list, PS1 list, PS2 list, Gamecube list, Xbox list, etc.

But that would mean a lot more work, so that's why they don't do it that way.

I guess I'll do my current top 20 countdown... I say current because it's always changing..

20. Journeyman Project (PC)
19. Relentless a.k.a. Little Big Adventure (PC)
18. Bionic Commando (Nes)
17. Yar's Revenge (Atari 2600)
16. Ultima III (Commodore 64)
15. Archon (Commodore 64)
14. Hybris which ties with Battle Squadren (both for Amiga)
13. Gyruss (Arcade)
12. GTA: Vice City (PC)
13. King of Fighters 98 (Arcade/Neo-Geo)
12. Another World (Amiga)
11. GTA: SanAndreas (PC)
10. Unreal (PC)
9. Tetris (Commodore 64)
8. Tron (Arcade)
7. Ms. Pac-Man (Arcade)
6. Ghouls'n'Ghosts (Arcade/Sega Genesis)
5. Revenge of Shinobi (Sega Genesis)
4. Half-Life 2 (PC)
3. Tron 2.0 (PC)
2. Dragon's Lair (Arcade)
1. Unreal Tournament 2004 (PC)

This is just a rough top 20... If I gave it more time, the list would most likely be different than what it is... But I know that my top 5 stands on it's own two feet... or on it's own... uhh... or... whatever... You get the idea... order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

I forgot about System Shock 2 and the Theif games. A really good call.

What I love so much about SS2 is the A.I. virus. She is sort of Tronish. I always figured that if they make an OS that had A.I. tech and a polygon character you can look at and interact with, I would love to put her as my A.I. .... voice and all...

10. Pong - Arcade - 1972

Pong was great. Such a simple game, and so exciting to be able to play an interactive video game. It cemented video games in to pop culture and made people long for more. As far as number 10 among the all time best? Yeah - I guess it deserves to be in the list.


09. Grand Theft Auto III - PS2 - 2001

I've never played this game. Been curious about it because of all the negative press, which I think is stupid. I mean, it's a game - a fictional, interactive, NOT REAL experience. The press and politicians need to chill. But I've never really cared for games like this. Though I'm sure it's packed full of video goodness, it just does not interest me at all. I don't fully get why games like this are so popular, but whatever. Different strokes.


08. The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time - N64 - 1998

Hands down - this is the most amazing gaming experience I've ever had, period. Never before have I been so drawn in to the experience of a game. And never again, has any other game even come close to the amazing experience that this game was to me. It was truly like a fantastic journey I got to take in a fictional world of wonder. I keep wondering if I'll ever feel this captivated by a gaming experience again. Every couple of years, I find myself playing through it again. This is absolute number 1 in my book.


07. Space Invaders - Arcade - 1978

Space Invaders ROCKED! I poured many quarters in to this gem back in the day. It was really the first ever arcade video game I got to play. The experience was amazement and wonder at this computer generated game. That's how I looked at it back then - it was just so cool. I was very intrigued by the technology that made this possible and loved playing it a lot. Mostly played the two-player table-top version at the local roller-skating rink. Ahh - the good old days. Yep - definitely a good spot on the listing.


06. Super Mario 64 - N64 - 1996

I never had this for my N64. Only a few years ago, did I first play it on an emulator. The emulator did a decent job with it, but I couldn't really get in to it much. Mostly because of the quirky controls of playing it on a keyboard. I would have loved to experience this on my N64 - perhaps some day I'll buy it and hit it the right way.


05. The Legend of Zelda - NEW - 1987

I tried to get in to this game. I tried many times. It just never captivated me. Everyone seemed to love this game so much, talking about it like the holy grail of all games. What was wrong with me? Perhaps I just couldn't dig an adventure game like this that was so graphically... well, flat and uninteresting to me. I know - this game is not about the graphics. But whatever it was, this game failed to interest me. And this is probably the only game I ever really tried to force myself to get in to. But I could not. I'm glad it existed though - it lead to my favorite game of all time as mentioned above.

04. Tetris - Multiplatform - 1988

This is a fun and somewhat addicting game. But I can't see it in the top 10. As addicting as it is, it also becomes old and boring just as quick... or at least did to me. I can't play more than 3 or 4 games back to back before I'm just tired of it and don't want to touch it again for months.


03. Street Fighter II - Arcade - 1991

This was probably one of the most addicting fighting games I've ever played to this date! I played it on my SNES mostly, only playing it in the arcade a couple of times. But the SNES version was pretty dead-on in terms of game play... or so I thought. I loved it and played it in to the wee hours of the morning many times in my early 20'abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

If it exists in graphic form only, perhaps try OCRing it?

Of course, you'd need to probably enlarge it (to a 300dpi equivalent) and convert it to a 1-bit B&W format first, but it might work.

Just a thought.

*Boooooo* *Hissss* I don't like this list. And GTA in the Top 10? I hate GTA. It's so boring. I don't get the fascination with it...

I can see the Pong, Space Invaders and PacMan 'classics' being in there, but nothing else. I'm sorry to burst your Zelda bubble, TheReelTodd, but that game annoyed the heck out of me. I wasn't at all impressed by it. Not graphics-wise; not gameplay-wise; not story-wise. I was severely let down as it was my first and only experience with Zelda. I had some high expectations of it as I read previews of it for the year or two prior to its release; and got the gold cartridge on the first day it came out. But that's awesome you were so moved by it. Hold on to those Zelda memories! I'm sure there are plenty of games that I liked that you'd absolutely despise, too.
