Do you agree, do you not, answer via the comments

Here is mine
#10 Pokemon (GB)
#9 Zelda (NES)
#8 Asteroids (any)
#7 Pong (any)
#6 Final Fantasy 7 (PSX)
#5 Super Mario 64 (N64)
#4 Pacman (any)
#3 Wolfenstein 3D (PC)
#2 Tetris (any)
#1 Super mario bros (NES)

First of all we have super mario which of course changed the way we looked at games. Then tetris an amazing puzzle game that is simple but fun. Wolfenstein 3D became the roots for fps. pacman because of the impact it had in the arcades. Super mario 64 because it refined 3D gaming. Finfal fantasy 7 to show us what an RPG really was (before not many payed attention to rpgs and found them boring). Pong because well it is pong nothing else to say. Asteroids for the same reason as pong. Zelda because it was not only an impressive game but it was the first ever game to use a battery to save your game. Pokemon made the gameboy come alive again with popularity and i know it was popular already but everyone had to get this gamem, they sold millions and showed you a different kind of rpg as well. Well that's what I think and you see that most of them are old games and that's because without these we wouldnt be playing the games that we have today. These are our roots and possibly had the biggest impact in gaming.

What a load of steaming ... Gamefaq did it again.

Here's a halfway decent list that takes historical milestones into account. I'm well aware that there ought to be more.

10. Breakout
9. Final Fantasy
8. StarCraft
7. Elite
6. Wolfenstein 3D
5. System Shock
4. The Secret of Monkey Island
3. Street Fighter 2
2. Fallout
1. Grand Theft Auto

There is room for quite some more, as a list like that is hardly complete even with 10 or 20 more places. There's got to be some more room in there for games like Ultima or Wizardry, Diablo or Pac-Man alright.

But here is the deal: You can't put in 3 fracking Mario games in the top 10 list of most important games EVER and get away with it No way! The games are good, but not that good, and 1 representitive game ought to suffice for the whole series.

Now I'm aware that my top 10 are totally devoid of anything remotely related to Jump & Run games. Let's just say Mario comes in at spot 11 or switches places with Street Fighter or Breakout if you insist.
