Gamestm '100 Greatest Games'

[TwoHeadedBoy]

GamesTM magazine have published their list of the 100 Greatest Retro Games In The World Ever or something like, in two parts. This month's issue has 50-1, whilst last month had 100-51. I'm not really in a position to spend £4 on 30 pages of a magazine at the moment, so would anyone be able to publish the whole list? I like lists, it'd be nice to compare it to my list of the 100 Best Games Ever...

(by the way, everyone feel free to post their own lists too, I'll get my one up here shortly)

Without reading the article, I bet Elite is #1.

King of Fighters and Metal Slug should be in there, but probably not.

 

[TelcoLou]

Kid Chameleon FTW!

 

[virusx]

On the forum they said it's Mario Kart.

 

[Quiest]

Does anyone have this list and could post the titles?
I bet it`s mostly bullshit.

 

[Vimacs]

they better have spout in there

 

[lubidog]

Elite had better be number one!!!

With Melbourne house's The Hobbit in the top ten...

 

[Jarska333]

I'm betting it's something like Tomb Raider... Retro for the kids playing these days.

 

[lubidog]

But Games TM is an okay magazine, so it could be something sensible. The problem is that it will be the 'general favourite', not your individual favourite. And the game that most people have played etc.

FFVii must be in there too.

On the forum they said it's Mario Kart.

​

I wouldn't have any arguments with that. It wouldn't be my #1, but like lubidog said it's a general poll so it's not so much '100 greatest games' as '100 most popular games'.

Am I the only person that absolutely despises elite? I have it on amiga, and you can't understand the damn game without reading the manual which is, no word of a lie, as big as the lord of the rings trilogy.

Never had any problems playing without the naual on my amiga .. as i never had the manual

I always thought apart from the missile targrtting everthing else was straight forward, apart from the whole docking thing, but then I'm a natural what can I say.

quick oolite promo http://oolite.aegidian.org/

Mario Kart as the greatest game of all time can't be right I can name at least 10 better *retro* games than that without batting an eyelid.

 

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Yeah, I had a flick through in the shops, and Mario Kart is indeed Numero Uno (sorry, I'm going to Spain at the weekend, just getting into the spirit of things). Suppose it is more of a general 'most popular' list though, I couldn't find Pocky & Rocky in there anywhere...

 

[virusx]

I don't even know this mag !
And in the official forum they said it's a reader's vote.
So I bet that their readers are Mario Kart's fans
I like MK, but I wouldn't make it first.
Even on their forum peoples are getting mad about that. :lol:
