ILX'S 100 GREATEST VIDEO GAMES EVER

A Mind Forever Voyaging is upthread.

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

Tetris for the victory!

Final Fantasy VI FTW!

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

ugh no sf2 no cred

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

Guys we need some Autoduel on here, that game ruled

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

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.

It's a good game don't get me wrong, there's just too much luck involved. How many times have you stacked your blocks all nice and neat but then die because you didn't get a straight Tetris block in time?

Considering how many variations there already are, I doubt this.

here's the original version: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/69/Tetris.html

I have never played any of the PC or Amiga games on this list. I really wish I could play Civilization some day.

Plenty, but that just adds another level of strategy to the game. Also, new versions of Tetris that let you see 5 pieces in advance are st00pid because it destroys that element of luck. Admit it, your life is better off because you've yelled "C'MON LONG PIECE, FUCK!" a million times.

Well, of course there are variations on Tetris, but I mean a version will likely still exist with the same gameplay, same basic shapes, same dropping mechanism, same gradually increasing speed, etc. You could add elements like a shop where you can spend 10,000 of your accrued point on a long piece, or you could throw in powerups or something, but it's more likely that the original version will remain the most popular.

Desert Strike should have been on the list.

best nuclear war game until defcon

civ2 that is not shaq fu

jungle strike > desert strike

OK, let's officially let the bitching begin!

xpost I nominated Jungle Strike, but I guess no one else voted for it.

Someone else can turn that into an easily readable top 100 list, I can't be fucked.

Desert Strike - so fucking good even the Amiga port was dope

Great job, Dom Passantino.

cheers dom

Yeah, thanks Dom, that was good fun.

yeah Dom. this is the making of history dude.

great effort.

I have severe eyeache now.

Catsup, slightly disappointed your #1 didn't make it?

http://content.answers.com/main/content/img/amg/games/drg000/g058/g05869ymrjk.jpg

I really regret not voting in this poll.

I hate Civilization

Bravo once again to Dom, for gnawing a way a month with suspense and completely consuming my weekend with the results. Now THAT's what a great poll should be!

My ballot... REVEALED:

#1: Ultima VII
#2: Sid Meier's Civilization II
#3: Sid Meier's Pirates!
#4: Super Mario Brothers 3
#5: King's Quest
#6: Castlevania: Symphony Of the Night
#7: Super Mario 64
#8: Tetris
#9: Monkey Island
#10: River City Ransom
#11: Mega Man 2
#12: TMNT 4: Turtles in Time
#13: Chrono Trigger
#14: Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past
#15: Wolfenstein 3D
#16: Zelda: Ocarina of Time
#17: Sonic the Hedgehog
#18: Tomb Raider
#19: Super Metroid
#20: Galaga
#21: Commander Keen
#22: Scorched Earth
#23: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
#24: Arkanoid
#25: Master of Magic
#26: Secret of Mana
#27: Duck Tales
#28: Final Fantasy III
#29: Rygar
#30: Last Ninja II

I guess I have pretty generic tastes, I dunno.

Civ II is kind of weird in that I've played it the most of any Civ and it's obviously terrific, but it also has bad parts (caravan trading, micromanagement) that the later games fixed. And yet it's still my favorite.

I must have REALLY boring taste, I think only 2 of my votes didn't make the top 100 (FFIII and Jungle Strike).

best first

It is amazing that Chrono Trigger was #11 but Final Fantasy VI didn't even place.

I wonder if the inclusion of Civ 4 as a choice would have split the vote much. It were an option, I would have voted for 4 and not even listed 2.
