Top 100 video games of all time

Check out IGN's list of the top 100 video games of all time. I had a lot of the role-playing games, like the Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger.

Hi there,

That list is good , but come on now....people seem to have forgotten games like Doom or Wolfenstein, not to mention Mortal Kombat, which was one of the first live-capture video games. How come these are not included, along with Elite and Donkey Kong and of course Pong?????

I'm not sure if I missed it (because I merely glanced it) but I noticed that Final Fantasy 7 wasn't there, but they let Final Fantasy 10 on the list. I'm sorry, but I think Final Fantasy 7 smoked FF10 out of the water.

Final Fantasy 7 should be number one. It is simply the best game ever

Final Fantasy VII should have been in the top 20 at least. Total Annaihalation should have been there. Baldur's Gate should have been bumped up a bit. Deus Ex should have been in the top 5. Age of Empires II should have been in there somewhere. Windwaker deserves a place and ETERNAL DARKNESS! for crying out loud why not Eternal Darkness? That game is a singular experience. The survival horror genre will never get better. They had RE2 in there. The gamecube version of the first one is awesome, much better and Eternal Darkness easily better than both. And also I would have put in Call of Duty and Unreal, the first one.

Metal Gear solid should be # 1, it was the first game to make me get up out of my seat to beat a boss. FF7 is # 2, and circus maximus, although sucks is fun.

Everyone saying FFVII is misguided. FFVI (FFIII in USA) was infinitely better. Smiley winking

Final Fantasy should have been in the top 10. Not number one because IV (II) was better. But Mario should not have been #1! Even Zelda OoT would make a better #1, heck even the likes of Ragnarok Online.

Personally I think Stunt Car Racer and Ports of Call ougth to be in the list. Maybe Boulder Dash too.

But then again I retired from video games playing about 15 years ago......

Yes, and where is the game Terranigma. That game should definetly be on there and it's a shame that it's so underrated because it is actually quite good. I would even put it up against the likes of Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana.

This top 100 list is so screwed up. Like 90% of all the best games ever made aren't even on that list at all. Oh how Earthbound for SNES is underappreciated and unknown to many people. If people think that Earthbound is a bad game, then they are mental. Period. Tis' all I have to say about that.

Man I hate it when the same person comments twice pretending to be two different people.

Well.... if you want to prevent this, just add a feature which exposes the ip-address of each commenter.

Or, if you want to make it more sophisticated, expose it ONLY in those cases where a single ip-address has been used with more than one nick within a single thread.

And... if you want to have the same effect, but without exposing the ip-adress, add some logic that scrambles the address before showing it.

I've considered doing something like what Sam Ruby does anyway and and showing the host name. But I'm not sure if I should do that for privacy/anonymity(/security?) reasons. In any case, the case where some fool wants to play around isn't important enough for me to try to code around. I often just delete all of the person's comments Smiley

It feels slightly less private when your ip-address is exposed.

But then again, having someones ip-address, there's not much you can do with it, really... So, from that perspective it shouldn't be any problem exposing it.
