100 Best Video Games of All Time

[Wonder Pigeon]

Since we did this with movies, and I'm pretty sure we did this with albums as well, should we Caftards make a list of the 100 best games ever?

 

[Redlambs]

The top three are:

1) Deus ex - PC
2) System shock 2 - PC
3) Shinobi - Master System



Job done.

 

[BAMSOLA]

Yes we should and if Zelda Ocarina of time on N64 as well as Gunstar heroes on Sega megadrive aren't in there somebody's gonna die.

So i'd better start by putting them forward.

(1) Ocarina of time - N64
(2) Gunstar Heroes - Sega Megadrive

 

[WeasteDevil]

1) Bubble Bobble - C64
2) Populus - Amiga 500
3) Mario Kart - SNES

 

[Redlambs]

1) Bubble Bobble - C64
2) Populus - Amiga 500
3) Mario Kart - SNES

New zealand story > Mario Kart, but the others are top shouts. Not 1-3 though, that's already sorted

 

[WeasteDevil]

4) Turrican - C64
5) Turrican II - Amiga
6) Paradroid - C64

We could all get very anal about this.

 

[Redlambs]

Aye we could.

This is why we shouldn't be numbering at first and people should write a short blurb as to why the game should be considered.

Apart from 1-3 though, that's sorted

 

[WeasteDevil]

There was this weird game on the C64 called Quedex (I think). Brilliant little thing (and rather unknown), very simple, you controlled this chrome ball with a top down perspective. Made by some Greek bloke as far as I remember.

 

[WeasteDevil]

Here's the bitch.



Must have spent hours with it. As well as waiting for it to load.

 

[Redlambs]

Snake rattle 'n' roll - NES
FF6 - Snes
Super Mario 64 - N64

 

[vanthaman]

Good shout van. Although for a point and click adventure game, Full Throttle has got to be in there!

 

[kps88]

Wow this is really tough. Off the top of my head in no particular order-

Agree with everything on this list except that(and the absence of Gunstar Heroes) Mario Kart n64 is the worst version of Mario kart ever.

I have to admit that I'm guilty of only having played it from that version onwards, hence the potential ignorance.

 

[Kaos]

Deus Ex
Shenmue I + II
Escape from Monkey Island
System Shock II
Perfect Dark (N64)
Chrono Trigger
Soul Caliber (dreamcast)

Will think of more later.

 

[vijay]

I had once played Prince of Persia 2D version when I was a pervert but I was bored of winning and finally figured out it was a wastage of electricity and time.

I would rate it as the greatest game ever.

Doubt any of you cnuts actually heard about the game.

 

[redspoony]

Sensible World of Soccer
Kick Off 2
Uncharted
COD4
Doom
Elite
Championship Manager/Football Manager
R-Type (Spectrum)

 

[Kaos]

Will it also be silly to include KOTOR? I genuinely think it's been the best western RPG in recent times.

 

[kps88]

Deus Ex
Shenmue I + II
Escape from Monkey Island
System Shock II
Perfect Dark (N64)
Chrono TriggerSoul Caliber (dreamcast)

Will think of more later.

Forgot about those 2. Good shout.

Perfect Dark's multiplayer split screen was just awesome.

 

[Kaos]

Perfect Dark's multiplayer split screen was just awesome.

I've said this many times before:

Perfect Dark > Goldeneye (Both are still terrific games, but goldeneye is a tad bit on the overrated side IMO )

 

[TheSwede]

Street Fighter II
Excitebike
Tetris
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario World
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Sim City
Secret of Mana
Gran Turismo
Punch-Out
Age of Empires
Final Fantasy X

 

[WeasteDevil]

R-Type (Spectrum)

I wouldn't say the Spectrum did the best version of R-Type outside of the arcade. Possibly PC Engine?

 

[101]

Street Fighter? Fifa 98?

 

[kps88]

I've said this many times before:

Perfect Dark > Goldeneye (Both are still terrific games, but goldeneye is a tad bit on the overrated side IMO )

The thing that gives Goldeneye the edge for me is that nostalgic element. It came first and was thus more original and ground breaking.

Perfect Dark was an improved, polished, updated Goldeneye really.

 

[Cornell]

I'm not sure i've played 101 video games.

 

[Kaos]

Street Fighter II
Excitebike
Tetris
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario World
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Sim City
Secret of Mana
Gran Turismo
Punch-Out
Age of Empires
Final Fantasy X

I thought the first one was pretty average, AOE II deserves a shout though, changed the way real-time RTS games worked.

 

[kps88]

Forgot about Civilisation, Baldur's Gate and Warcraft.

 

[Kristjan]

Damn, I played that loads.. not good at it really but tried hard.

The music in it while loading was ace (at the time)

 

[vanthaman]

Screaming Wings on Atari ST was great.

[Wonder Pigeon]

I would like to nominate Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, which I mentioned in anaother thread and happen to think is better than Ocarina of Time in terms of story and gameplay.
