This list leaves something to be desired–particularly the Top 10 slots. I’ll buy Super Mario Bros. at number 1, but the Nintendo 64 bias is a little tough to take. A Legend of Zelda sequel ranked far ahead of Ms. Pac Man? (Heck, Metal Gear Solid ranked above Ms. Pac Man?)
Discuss.

Ratchet & Clank.

Civ II tops my list, with both Pirates! and Mario 64 close behind. Pac Man or Ms. Pac-Man has to be on the top ten, as does the game Combat that shipped with most Atari 2600 consoles. (Invisible tanks in the invisible maze with bouncing bullets: Best. Game. Ever. For eight-year-olds anyway.) Also on the top ten should be Spy Hunter and Lode Runner. And does no one remember what a revolution in time-wasting both Myst and the much more satisfying Quake were when they came out? Side question: Madden Football needs to be on the list, but which version? What is the seminal year for Madden?
