What's so bad about Pong vs Tetris? The classics deserve a spot.

If you think a particular matchup is unfair, PM me about it. Read the OP again, I updated it.

i agree re4 should be there and shouldn't baldur's gate of some iteration be in there, and if halo 1 and 2 get to be there then fallout 2 should be there, as should planescape (though it's not from the series, it just should be there) and btw, you might want to remind people that FF6 is what many of us know as 3...in other words many times more awesome than 7 (at least the snes version, never played the ps version).

wow, just learned that FF6 only sold 550,000 copies in the US... wtf?

IGN is like me and ranks FF4 higher than FF6, which is ranked higher than FF7

Not as if that post wasn't blasphemous enough, but you also voted for it over Deus Ex. :thumbsdown:

Good job, I hope you can keep up with all the requests / voting =)

I respectfully request you change "Tecmo Bowl" to "Tecmo Super Bowl", as I suspect that's what the poster intended.

I also think "Descent II" should be "Descent", but wth ...

Some more additions:
Jedi Knight II : Outcast
Sim City
Wing Commander Series
GTA Series
Blood
Command HQ (_really old school_)
Nobunaga's Ambition [series, but I prefer 2 for NES]
Edit: Anachronox, post-patch

Of the games in the current poll, Chrono Trigger and Civilization are my favorites.

Chrono Trigger(by far) SNES it had the absolute best plot(being able to travel through time and when you did something in a previous time it would affect future time).
I'm supprised that Ultima 5 didn't make it,that was the best at the time(on a comodore 128 with music it was the best),I remember me and my friend taking shifts to build up our characters on our big screen projection TV.He would play then when it was time for him to sleep I would play then visa versa.
Heros of might and magic was also extremly good and was probably the best PC game of all time.
I'm sorry,I posted in the old poll before I read it all.

i nominate this as stupidest video game thread ever. you can't compare games that aren't similar at all. how can you compare Solitare and Doom?
i like these games:
Secret of Mana

Half-Life 1

CounterStrike

Super Mario Bros

Tetris

Doom

World of Warcraft

Quake II

Halo 1

Civilization

Final Fantasy VII

Super Mario Bros III

Starcraft (how can you compare a startegy game to a racing game?

Chrono Cross (tho both suck)

Halo II

Duke Nukem 64
