Man, Half-Life is not even listed.. WTF?

Engine quality, I'd have to go with Quake3, no engine comes close to it.

Well, if we're talking best GAME of all time then you gotta add D&D and Risk. Sure maybe I was/am a Supa-Nerd (Hey everyone geeks in their own way) but these games provided endless hours of fun for me...hell they still do when I play 'em.

Y'all ever play Castle RisK? That's a fun a$$ game too.

Yep, add xcom.

Might as well put doom on the list, too.

unlike many on the list, xcom actually is one of the best games of all time. it, civ, UO (cuz its still more open ended than any other crpg), tie fighter, mechwarrior 2, and of course myst, those were probably the best computer games.

video games? zelda 1 and 3, final fantasy 2 (US), dragon warrior, super metroid (the original isn't in there cuz of screwed up passwording), castelvania 3

If you mean any game, then you have to list D&D, Risk, Axis&Allies, etc. If you just mean computer games, then you're missing Ultima 3, Ultima 4, Bards Tale, Questron, Wizardry, Might and Magic, and a bunch of others.
