I had loads of fun reading this, not sure I agree with all of it, but it was fun to reminisce.
I'm sure fellow geeks will enjoy disagreeing with it too

Nope, this guy basically wrote a very biased, "his top 50" games list which is fine when it's in your own blog...but on msnbc.com? It's laughable.

Ughhhhhhhhh, that list was absolutely atrocious.
Both of the following lists are far closer to what it should be, especially the IGN reader's choice. THANK GOD for the nods to games like Chrono Trigger, super mario RPG, and smash bros.
EGM Top 100
IGN Top 100 Games 2008 | 100 ESPN NFL 2K5
Sadly these are all console so still no SC or WC or dare I say.. Diablo?!, but overall WAYYYY better

[00:29] <daven> dc, why not check turn behind
[00:30] <DC> daven

If I had to make a list it would be:
Frogger
Monkey Island I, II
Leisure Suite Larry I and 7
Phantasmagoria - prolly not replayable 20 years later, but it scared me to death as a child.
Quarantine - prolly the buggiest game of all times, but great soundtrack and atmosphere. I loved it. - downloadable for free now, unfortunately without the soundtrack.
Warcraft
Duke Nuke'em obviously
Castle Wolfenstein. - Not so amazing now but it scared the shit out of me when I was 9 :=)
Rebel Assault
Quake Arena
Silent Hill
Max Payne
Nexuiz I loved it when they still allowed keyhunt mode to be played on all maps, including lots of UT and QuakeIII maps. Now I only play instagib every now and then.
GTA Vice City
Halflive - all parts, including Portal: can't wait for them to realease the next part... The original should still be free to download from steam... of Portal that is.
and more recently left4dead - best co-op game of all times imo. Wasted more than 300h of my life on this 
and Battlefield BC2. I think I'll be playing this for a long time.

No way! Mario Cart & Golden Eye, both on N64 were the best games ever!

Mario Kart...and the number one game was the super nintendo version in that list. I like all the super mario kart games. I play a lot of the wii version when I'm home with the family.

This top 50 list is based on votes from readers of the page. It's not decided by one guy.
I never liked Metroid but I'm shocked it wasn't even on the list. I also hadn't even heard of two of the games in the top 10.

It's msn.uk. That's why there are 3 soccer games (including Championship Manager, which is awesome and so often overlooked) and no 'merkin football.
That said, not sure why there is nothing from the C&C or Civ series. Ghey.

Goldeneye and final fantasy 8 should be #1 and #2 IMO.
Gotta have love for streets of rage, golden axe and shinobi on the mega drive.
That is all.

Tecmo Superbowl, oh god how my friends and I loved that game. It came out in 1991 and we were still playing it religiously as seniors in high school in 1998. We even got back together a few times a year to play during college.....fun times.

Daggerfall was better than both imo. I played that game constantly. Also, I'm sure there is like only 1 other person that knows about Asheron's Call (PC) on FTR, but it is most def one of the best games ever (mmorpg though).

NHL 94 and RBI Baseball were two of my favorites
Coach K College Basketball (KU was STACKED that year), Baseball Stars....honorable mention. I liked sports games (and still do).
NCAA 2004 was the SHIT too. That's actually right behind Tecmo Superbowl as my favorite game.

mariokart 64 was ok but was a slight disappointment after the super nintendo version. The Wii version is by far the worst though. I think I played it 3 times since buying it.

I thought Wii's were for people who were crap at real computer games, you know, there was always a few kids who you'd just hammer in any game you played who just didn't have the dexterity or... I dunno, non gamers I guess, and girls.

Makes sense, seeing as the Wii targets women and children.

odd that my favourite 2 games are from the N64
Goldeneye - easily the best for me
Zelda - ocarina of time
GTA, final fantasy, COD 2 etcall have to be up there but goldeneye especially has no equal IMO

You'd play it a lot more if you have friends who are competitive. The drunker you get the more fun it gets too.
Having wimmenz over at your house will help you play it more too.

Yea, Raving Rabbids and any Mario game is good for the Wii when with a small group. I just soft modded mine last week and now download .iso files to an HDD for it. No more cash money for Mario Galaxy.
FWIW, that list sucks ass. There are so many ways to go with a list and this inot one of them. There has to be 100 games that could be top 20 on any respected list that he missed completely.

well FUCK...just so you know our recent money exchange was for the sole purpose of buying the Wii version Mario Kart + some wheels. fml.
But thanks JL I have hope!
I'm sure my gf will at least pretend to like it regardless.

Never played the other versions and the Wii version rocks. I wasn't a big Mario fan after the Super Nintendo days. Galaxy and Galaxy 2 have brought me back to the Nintendo. Plus my GH3 was Wii, so now I am downloading all of them to the Wii. GHMetallica is pretty good.

LOL ... I feel like a jerk now, but that's so funny!
You'll probably like it. I just didn't like it because Super Nintendo has a special place in my heart!
To make up for my Mario Kart insults, I'll do another transfer?
