ILX'S 100 GREATEST VIDEO GAMES EVER

Brilliant game but there's never been a perfect version of it. Eventually too much of the challenge comes from hitting the right lemming at the exact right time.

NES version was fucked so you could get in an infinite loop that stopped you finishing a level. Coz of that--fuck it.

I voted high for nostalgia, didn't expect it to zoom so far up. It's one of the few games I played LOADS, though.

I like Lemmings 2: Tribes a lot as well. More jobs, less fiddly staircase shit.

Never liked this at all - but the N64 version was a big hit.

so many teenage punch-ups over this game

Battle Zone 4 FTW

lol the karts are small as fuck compared to now.

battlezone?

The only game all my girlfriends have liked as well.

Not Battlezone.

I am ok with mario world being number one. the visual / audio melee of crossing a goal post riding yoshi with bullet bills a flying and chucks a charging and the spotlight zooming in is soooo satisfying

Battle Course 4, sorry

I wish mario kart had a "red shell proximity warning" light in at least the battle mode

Mario Kart 64 had better tracks - and four player was a big plus - but the AI cheating was turned up even more than before (and it's still way up). It's just retarded when you hit Princess with two shells near the end of a race, only to have her boost past you for the win seconds later, for no reason.

Just look at the other half of the screen.

I would veer off so they couldn't see this.

ZS - I mainly played it in multiplayer with minimum of two other people, so the computer AI wasn't really an issue for me. But I can believe that would be obnoxious!

Gonna post the next two together, for obvious reasons...

ugh so so so so wrong.

PAGING DR CASINO

Most overrated game of the 90s? That screenshot says it all - four hideous deformed freaks in a completely undifferentiated space. My friend Matt and I played this a couple years ago, and every deathmatch ended with us running out of time before we even found each other to try and shoot it out. Like, "OK, I'm gonna stand still in this room. You come here and shoot me." "Fuck, how do I get over there?" This game sucks.

Goldeneye is one of the best FPSs ever in single or multiplayer. You know it's the best selling N64 game ever? The weapon selection, the mission design, the level design - "completely undiffferentiated space" wtf? the levels were copied straight from the Goldeneye sets which means, as the game producer Martin Hollis puts it, "many of the levels in the game have a realistic and non-linear feel. There are rooms with no direct relevance to the level. There are multiple routes across the level ... it contributes to a greater sense of freedom, and also realism".

More from Martin Hollis on why it ruled in this great "making of" article:

GTAs should have really fallen under the "sports game series" clause.

best selling N64 game ever in the US, xp to self

Fuck it, if Rise of the Robots had the GTA:SA soundtrack I would have voted for it.

Dude, even if the levels had been copied from the house I grew up in, I would have been lost because everything would have looked the same. Can you even jump in this POS?

"There are rooms with no direct relevance to the level" === "there's random shit that wastes your time and they didn't get around to filling it up with enemies, items, or details to distinguish it from every other environment in the game."

I didn't vote in this. CT would've been my #1.

I hope Earthbound is on the list, but I kinda doubt it

We're really running out of time for ULTIMA 7 to make its JUSTIFIED AND TRIUMPHANT entrance...

guys guys are there no fighting games in this? if there were surely SF2 or MK will show up soon!

xpost Wtf sacrilege

hahaha oh shit LTTP beat all of these

omfg you people are going to hate yourselves

I suppose I can get behind that but I thought it was "tepid" compared to mario world

Doctor Casino, you just sound like the n00b upon whom better players fattened themselves.

Yoshi's Island for #1

yeah deathmatch FPS games tend to inspire much enmity from the "where the fuck am I" crowd, of which I am one

^^^still to come

Again: I played Goldeneye TRYING TO GET KILLED and couldn't do it because the multiplayer takes place in a meaningless No-Place with no past, present, future or any distinguishing marks.

stfu Dr Morbius Casino

better not be Halo ....

Fox looks pretty cool there.

And I speak, as mentioned way upthread, as a lover of the genre, aghast at what was being lapped up as a bold new development. If Goldeneye had been a PC game it would have been laughed off as being even shittier than Heretic or Rise Of The Triad.

Mario World and SMB3 need to switch places. Both great games though.

Goldeneye was popular because most high school students didn't have lans with multiple ethernet equipped pentiums in their houses.

I don't think there are enough xbox owners/gayzor mountains residents on ilx for that to happen, re: HALO
