Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
Definitely going to need multiple genres for this. Its too hard to compare something like Gauntlet (arcade) with Civ 3 or Pirates!
Maybe something like this: Arcade Classic Console (80's-96 or so? When was the 64 released?) Modern Console Classic PC (80's-mid 90's again, with the line drawn at the release of Duke Nukem!) Modern Shooter/Arcade-style PC (for things like CS) Modern Other PC (for games like Civ 4) Just a thought. Anyhow, Bard's Tale definitely needs a Classic PC nomination, and I thought Civ 2 was easily the worst of the series. |
Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
Rundown,
Good pulls on the Bard's Tale. You've reminded me of the excellent: Might & Magic Series as well as Champions of Krynn and the orginal D&D game. Does Classic Nerd Fantasy need it's own poll? My sources say: Yes. Yours, --GA |

Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
I think it is pretty ridiculous to do this with no categories, just all video games bundled into one topic.
That said, I have a few (somewhat esoteric) nominations. World of Warcraft Final Fantasy XI Katamari Damacy Final Fantasy Tactics But...yeah...no way this is going to work without categories. Maybe something like: Singleplayer RPG First Person Shooter Platformer Online Multiplayer (MMOs and games like Unreal Tournament might all fall into this category) Innovative (ie Dance Dance Revolution, Katamari Damacy) Fighting This might be a good starting point for a list. |
Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
1) Super Smash Brothers (N64)
2) Super Mario RPG (SNES) 3) Zelda: A link to the past (SNES) |

Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
At the very least I hope you will split this into two separate polls, one for PC games and one for console games.
Personally I was never that much of a console buff, so I'll focus on the PC side of things. My nominations: X-Com: UFO Defense Baldurs Gate 2 Everquest Doom Masters of Orion 2 Starcraft Warcraft 2 Masters of Magic Diablo 2 Ghost Recon X-Wing/Tie Fighter Jagged Alliance Command & Conquer Command & Conquer: Generals Each of these games had a pretty profound impact on me and my computer game life.

Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
Ok, here's how I plan to do teh new poll...
First I will tkae all games which are nominated and square them off against any sequels or expansions that are also nominated, for example... Doom vs Doom 2 vs Doom 3 Then I will do the poll knockout style, with 3 categroies, Arcade, Console and PC. When each category has a winner the 3 games will be polled vs each other as well. Anyone not liking the sequel elimination idea? Is it unfair to some games? FF7 and FF8 were both great games for example. |
Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
I think the sequal elimination idea is great.
