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...

El Tomboto, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:09 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

Leee, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:10 (sixteen years ago) link

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

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.

better not be Halo ....

zappi, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Fox looks pretty cool there.

Raw Patrick, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:13 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:14 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:14 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:15 (sixteen years ago) link

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

El Tomboto, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:15 (sixteen years ago) link

halo was like #73 or something

No Wizball no credibility.

edwardo, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:27 (sixteen years ago) link

ah the top 10 is awzom so far !

jhøshea, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Games I nominated that didn't make the 100:

Sid Meier's Civilization II
Spellbreaker
Final Fantasy III
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
A Mind Forever Voyaging

I think only 1 of those is in the top 2.

abanana, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:27 (sixteen years ago) link

er, voted for, not nominated

abanana, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:28 (sixteen years ago) link

Link fixed (I think):

Games you would have voted for on that ILE poll if they'd been nominated

Z S, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:28 (sixteen years ago) link

A Mind Forever Voyaging is upthread.

Raw Patrick, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:28 (sixteen years ago) link

No way, it's gotta be FF3 and Civ, it's just a matter of what order.

Z S, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:28 (sixteen years ago) link

Tetris for the victory!

Tuomas, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:29 (sixteen years ago) link

Final Fantasy VI FTW!

Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:30 (sixteen years ago) link

TETRIS IS VERY VERY OVERRATED AND I DON'T TO SEE IT WIN.

Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:30 (sixteen years ago) link

ugh no sf2 no cred

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:31 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh wait, yeah, Tetris is gonna be up there. Wait, that means either FF3 or Civ isn't on the list at all.

Z S, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:32 (sixteen years ago) link

#1. Snood

jhøshea, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:32 (sixteen years ago) link

Guys we need some Autoduel on here, that game ruled

robertwolf8080, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:33 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh come, SF2 sucks donkey balls. Fuck E. Honda and his hundred-hand slap.

Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 4 May 2008 23:33 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm not sure how Tetris can be called overrated. It's like calling Checkers overrated. I was watching some webvideo on Tetris recently and one of the people on it correctly noted that in 100 years, it's likely that only Tetris will be around in its original form. It's flawless.
