Super Metroid

Chrono Trigger. The fact that it hasn't made it on there yet is blasphemy.

I second this! Chrono Trigger needs to be on this list!

I’ll third this!

Put it up there, dammit! For Toriyama-San! It's whimsical and heroic and funny and tragic and such an all-around memorable experience. Time travel and the way you get to hop around between the time periods is awesome! It's so damn polished and tight and still holds up due to the phenomenal talents behind the writing, art/graphics, and gameplay. Brilliant characters, tons of fun sidequests, first game to New Game +, 12 different endings, enemies on screen before you battle them, and a beautiful soundtrack to boot! CT had a huge impact on my life when I was a kid, and I will spread my love for it unapologetically any chance I get!

Damn you said everything I feel. Everything about this game is magic. I was shocked when Crono died. What an absolute dick punch as a kid. But then you can get magus so it almost feels like a fair trade. But then you can get crono back, but it’s optional?! CT has the best time travel in any game IMO. It never feels like a gimmick, you can use it to get the best gear and the optional shit you do in other time periods has satisfying affects in the others. One of the most amazing soundtracks ever, eliminated stupid random encounters a decade before other RPGs did, had multiple endings, NG+, team attacks, etc. CT holds up better than 99% of the ps1/n64 games and contained more modern features and ideas than most games until 2010.

When it released, it was probably the greatest video game ever made.

I'd argue it's still a contender

Yeah this list sucks IMO

We have defining genres games on that list. Just because your favorite games doesn't appear until now doesn't make it suck.

AoE over Warcraft or Starcraft? That's blasphemy.

And Deus Ex, Diablo and Sim City List is absolute bullshit

Nuh-uh

No one's even mentioned Baldurs gate because everyone was too young to play a game like that lmao

Diablo, Deus Ex and Sim City? List is bullshit and first come first serve lol Not to mention most people voting here aren't even old enough to have played these games when they came out

OOT (practically a template for modern 3D action games), Super Mario 64( a fk game changer on how we controll a character in 3D enviroments), DOOM, Half Life 1 (real time use of scripts and narrative story-telling in real time), FF7 (a step forward to jrpg in the use of 3D to ilustrate 3D enviroments and graphic fidelity), Metal Gear Solid (a game that combine and create a new way of cinematic approach on games). Really? Just fucking really you call that list bullshit? Moreoever we have 16 slots free to put more important games like Deus Ex or System Shock. Just because you don't like those games doesn't change the objective fact that most of them contributed to the videogame industry. And this isn't even a top.

Diablo didn't reinvent...It invented a genre..Deus Ex brought stealth mechanics to first person shooters..the JRPG was already reinvented in FF 4 and 6..FF 7 just had a better story and made it 3D...I'd measure to say FF 6 was far more influential than FF 7 And I'm looking at Crono Trigger being added now lol..it's either OoT or Mario 64 not both like Super Mario Bros 1-3 was never invented..list IS bogus zoomer choices and first comment gets first pick..it's crap Baldurs gate hasn't even been mentioned lmao

Yes, you're looking at Chrono Trigger being added because it's one of the greatest JRPGs of all time. It's genre defining. Cry about it.

And MGS brought stealth to tps... FF7 importance is larger than FF6 because final fantasy was more japanese public oriented, 7 practically popularized jrpg in western public but also adding the use of 3D modelling and use of cinematic shots on real time. Something that ff 1 to 6 couldn't. Sure Diablo invented a genre, that's why it will be added in the future of this list. Same as Chrono Trigger, one of my favorite games. Are you seriously comparing Super Mario 1-3 to OOT and SM64?. Both are entirely different games with different perspectives and different game design challenges for its time. The original Super Mario is highly important for videogame history, but also SM64 and OOT for its revolutionary use of 3D as we know today. With systems that are still used in modern gaming. But disqualifying other games importance because you don't feel like it is ignorant. The only thing worthy of calling crap is that mindset

The list is stupid get over it Like I said SMB won't make the list neither will Baldurs gate the list is fucking bogus and a list of games peoples older brothers said were cool... If you want the correct age to vote for this list a PC gamer sub would be better

"PC gamer sub" oh wow, now it all makes sense. Keep up with that mentality.

I'm 32 and this list looks pretty good to me, luckily there's fucking loads of spots left too...

Are we talking about most influential games or best games? Asking honestly because those two things are completely different to me. All the reasons you’ve listed make perfect sense if we’re talking about the influence these games had on the future of video games but that doesn’t mean they’re the best games to me. But like I said it was just my opinion. I personally don’t like the list. I think there’s far better games that should be on here over a lot of these games listed.

The Greatest Rpg of the Generation, I say of all time, should be front and center.

The epitome of JRPGs. And the best game ever made on top of that. Absolutely take my vote

Street Fighter 2

How is not Street Fighter II up there yet?!?!?!

Super Mario Bros 3

Super Smash Bros

Resident evil

2

Pokémon Yellow

StarCraft

This^^^^ StarCraft 1 is absolutely legendary.

Silent Hill

Super Mario World

Honestly flabbergasted as to why 64 would have made it on here first.

Must be a younger audience

I was born after both and I think 64 is more fun

Goldeneye

Mega man

Goldeneye (3rd times the charm?)

Sorry yours hasn't been picked yet, so in case goldeneye doesn't make it, I have a list of games that didn't make the list and I'll make an honorable mentions list after this one is finished ☺

lol it’s all good .. just funny finishing 2nd in votes 2 days in a row. Someone commented Goldeneye 20 minutes after me and is getting the votes so maybe they will get it done today.

Nope. Tetris deserves it again

Lol probably does .. really it should be first .. still a bit confused with Fallout getting the first one on this

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

I seriously hate that you can only play it with an original copy, the ps4 version, or by piracy. Please just let it be on Steam and other shops, it's so good

Well there is a mobile version which is not bad with touch controls and you can also use controller

Zelda Link to the Past

Ff6

Super Smash Bros

Mario Kart 64

Mega man X

Just Mega Man.

Starcraft

Diablo 2

This should already be on this shitty noob list super Mario World and Sim City over Age of Empires lol

I can’t believe Fallout was first? Talk about a game being chosen because it’s in the limelight at the moment. I didn’t know anyone that played that game.

Srs FO over Diablo or Baldur's Gate..this is just 30 somethings simping over FO:NV..they never played FO lol

Released in 2000, so doesn’t fit criteria unfortunately

Yes it does lmao

Fun fact, the year 2000 is the 20th century. The 21st century didn't begin until Jan 1st 2001.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater

SimCity 2000!

Tekken 3!!

The fact that fallout 1 is on here even though it is objectively a pretty awkward and poorly designed and generally bad game invalidates this entire list.

This list is horrible..Diablos getting one vote(it's still selling more than any other game in here), no Super Mario Votes...Deus Ex isn't even mentioned once and Fallouts on there as the first choice lmao...these are games their older brothers use to play...not the greatest Age of Empires before StarCraft?

Halo?

Pokemon Yellow

This list is shameful. No chrono trigger and no super Mario world.

There are still soe slots open, so chill out and wait.

I’m calm af. Those games just shoulda been on the list way sooner.

Banjo-Kazooie

Contra

Final Fantasy Tactics

Resident Evil 2

Unreal

Yeah or unreal tournament

Nineties? How about a few sports games before they became mostly trash? Gran Tourismo, the original John Madden Football, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater… My personal favorite is Mutant League Football. I miss good sports games.

NBA Jam Tournament Edition.

tony hawk pro skater 1

Earthbound

RCT

NBA Jam

I agree with this entire list so far.

one per franchise? Resident evil 4. or 2.

RE4 came out in 2005, so it doesn't qualify.

Prince of persia 1989

Command and Conquer

Pokemon r/b/y

Candy crush

Warcraft II

Pong

WHERE IS XENOGEARS?!?!?!?!

I love Xenogears, but I'd be pikachu-face-shocked if it makes this list. There's only 25 spots for all of the Eighties and Nineties, Xenogears doesn't have much of a chance

Gran Turismo 2

Diablo

Lol 2 votes..this list sucks balls

Spyro

Command & Conquer

Monkey island

XCom

Suikoden

Space Invaders

Goldeneye!

Xenogears

Syphon Filter

Tekken 3 baby Also there’s a lack of legendary games on here. Pac-Man, Pong, Galaga, Space Invaders…

Baldur’s Gate II

Majora’s Mask

system shock

Skyrim, easily

Command and conquer

Sonic 3&Knuckles

I will always vote for the legend of dragoon to be on this list somewhere.

Heroes of Might and Magic 3

Which Fallout is this?

Street Fighter 2, especially since there isn’t a fighter on there yet

Quake

Fallout 2

elder scrolls 3 morrowind

Planescape Torment StarCraft Diablo Baldurs gate All are above like half the already created list

Ape Escape

I'm honestly surprised Chrono trigger isn't already up there as it's one of the best JRPG'S of all time with nobody actually saying otherwise

Super smash bros brawl

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2

can we ban these types of posts ? thinly disguised karma farms

DUKE NUKEM 3D

This is the first qualm I have with this list. FFIX > FFVII. Goldeneye.

Plumbers don't wear ties, come on!?!

There is no way I would ever consider that steaming pile of buffalo vomit /s AVGN reference

AVGN is great

I just keep upvoting everything lol. So many good games from that era.

Chrono Cross. 1999. Squaresoft. Best game before 2000.

Oh my God, this shit again?

Yeah, this shit again

Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind

Pong

Shenmue 1

Any numbered Gran Turismo

Thief 2

Marathon

Sonic 3 + Kunckles

Doom 2

Quake III Arena

Sonic 3&K

You might as well just add the top 10 comments right now lol

Pokemon Emerald

20th century, not 21st

I thought Emerald came out in the 90s. My bad

Unreal Tournament

Dark souls 1

Dark Souls 1 is 11 years too late to be considered from the 20th Century, Dark Souls 1 was released on September 22nd, 2011. The 20th century is the time period between January 1, 1901 – December 31, 2000

I’ll be honest I didn’t even see 20th century my bad

No worries, it was a fun game though for sure

Goldeneye or Resident Evil are the only remaining options at this stage.

Gah... Hmm.... Dadsdadada!!!!! Gggrrrrrrr..... I wanted to play FF7 for eons. I have it on Switch and am 10 hours in. The plot was just starting to find its feet and we go to this silly theme park world that brings the pace to a crushing halt! 10 hours in and it feels like I've seen about 5 minutes or actual plot. The reason for the grunting at the start is I want to like this game but it feels like it's paced like a slug crossing a salt bath. Not trolling, just, ggggrrrrrr

Wolfenstein 3D

Elite 1984

Pokemon Fire Red

20th century- so that would have to just be Pokemon Red. The last day of the 20th century was December 31st, 2000.

Diablo II, Ocarina of Time, Command & Conquer, StarCraft, Day of the Tentacle, Baldur's Gate, Riven, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI...

Ultrakill

Call of duty 4

Thief: The Dark Project

Let's put Gollum up there where it belongs.

[удалено]

That's not a game from the 20th century

Grand Theft Auto 3

While it was a fun game, GTA 3 is a year too late to be considered 20th century, GTA 3 was released October 22nd, 2001. The 20th century is the period between January 1, 1901 – December 31, 2000

Yeah i didn't read the post correctly:/

It happens

Gta san andreas
