Understanding the criteria for scoring would have been nice. And put goddamn screen caps for each game.

IMO the inclusion of any mobile game, however popular it may be, has to have more than 'boy, did a lot of people ever play this while taking a shit' going for it.

Solitaire better be top 10, man, I'm telling you.

the game YOU make up inside your head

Fez at only 263?!?!?!? Okay, seriously, gtfo.
― Ripped Taylor (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 19:57 (six years ago) link
Tony Hawk Underground sucks shit wtf.
No way is that shit better than ... Snake for Nokia phones
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:00 (six years ago) link
All of these would probably be competing for my top 10:293. PROTEUS 262. AGE OF EMPIRES 2259. BLOODBORNE219. DOOM (2016)
Rooting for a high Frog Fractions finish.

so like maniac mansion is not 100 slots better than DOTT. those two should be reversed.
hitchhiker's is the first infocom. a good list imo should also include
a mind forever voyagingzorkplanetfalldeadlinethe lurking horror
― Mordy, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:21 (six years ago) link
mind forever voyaging is 221
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:22 (six years ago) link
oh didn't get down to it yet! glad to see they included it!
― Mordy, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:22 (six years ago) link
those games are good but are they really better than ... MINI METRO (2015, PC, others)?
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:23 (six years ago) link
did both dishonored games really need to be on this list?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:23 (six years ago) link
no
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:26 (six years ago) link
fallout new vegas is not better than fallout 1, 2 or wasteland
stardew valley top spots below animal crossing suggests that they just listed games as they thought of them
basically every entry in mgs, mario, zelda games is gonna place huh?
how many warioware games were there??? (also two in immediate proximity)
― Mordy, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:26 (six years ago) link
stardew valley ten* spots
― Mordy, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:27 (six years ago) link
warioware: twisted and warioware inc: mega microgames! -- two of the greatest games of all time apparently
i can't remember which warioware game I played but it was extremely fun. great party game.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:29 (six years ago) link
i personally would argue for bloodborne being a little higher and demon's souls being ~200 places higher, but dark souls 2 prob shouldn't be on this list at all.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:31 (six years ago) link
warioware rules
― devvvine, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:31 (six years ago) link
fuckit i'mma just make my own list
― Mordy, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:33 (six years ago) link
I don't know how any rational person could argue that Maniac Mansion is better than DOTT if for no other reason than the fact that you can actually play Maniac Mansion in its entirety within the game world of DOTT.
― Ripped Taylor (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:36 (six years ago) link
This list is great so far
Seeing that they placed Star Control already I'm hoping that SC2 makes top 20 at least
As it should
The first and second WarioWare games are awesome, the first especially

really an accomplishment how bad this is. i applaud the deliberate and determined effort it must've taken.
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 30 November 2017 20:28 (six years ago) link
lol so glad they found room for rock band AND rock band 2 (exactly 5 spots apart)
― Mordy, Thursday, 30 November 2017 20:33 (six years ago) link
still no beatles rock band yet *crosses fingers*
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Thursday, 30 November 2017 20:34 (six years ago) link
And we left out sequels that we deemed too similar to the games that came before them.
i mean i dunno, can you play brass instruments on the second one?
― another day another dolour (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 30 November 2017 20:35 (six years ago) link
have any guitar heroes placed???
would be pretty funny if the top 20 was all different guitar band / rock band variants
― Mordy, Thursday, 30 November 2017 20:35 (six years ago) link
what the hell Guitar Hero Aerosmith is #1?!
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Thursday, 30 November 2017 20:37 (six years ago) link
maybe this list is a criticism of lists. the real list is a layer deeper

So all three Diablo games will be in with the order 2 > 1 > 3? Seems about right
― mh, Thursday, 30 November 2017 20:57 (six years ago) link
Ahhhh Papers, Please and Device 6 placing higher than Link's Awakening? nice challops love it
Glad to see Undertale up there
Mario Kart 64 sucks and doesn't belong here
― flamboyant goon tie included, Thursday, 30 November 2017 23:09 (six years ago) link
Mario Kart 64 should be way way higher

whoa did not expect KOTOR in the 80s; I liked that game but that seems high
― Embalming is a flirty business (DJP), Friday, 1 December 2017 18:47 (six years ago) link
okay I can't argue with a good chunk of the top 100 actually and #1 feels right
― Embalming is a flirty business (DJP), Friday, 1 December 2017 18:49 (six years ago) link
Starcraft should be top 10.
― Jeff, Friday, 1 December 2017 18:52 (six years ago) link
66. Madden NFL 200565. ESPN NFL 2K5
