I spend way too much time playing Halo2 on xbox live, for whatever thats worth.

1) Super Smash Brothers (N64)
2) Super Mario RPG (SNES)
3) Zelda: A link to the past (SNES)

[SackUp]

This poll starts and ends with Goldeneye for me. Hands down the greatest game ever made.

Super Mario RPG is very underrated if you ask me.

My nominations will go by system, and I will definately leave out some greats by accident

Nes: Mario3
Snes: Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World, FF3, Street Fighter 2, Zelda: Link to the Past, Mario Kart (so many more)
Genesis- Sonic 3 W/ Sonic and Knuckles attatched
PSX- FF7, MGS1, Resident Evil
N64- Goldeneye, Zelda: Ocarina of time
PS2- Madden (in general), GTA San Andreas, FFX
GC- RESIDENT EVIL 4, Smash Bros
XBox- Halo (1 or 2, doesnt really matter)
PC- Diablo 2, Neverwinter Nights,

Edit: Any Metroid game, but esp the SNES version

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.

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.

I think the sequal elimination idea is great.
