A Mind Forever Voyaging (1985, PC) To explain why I nominated this, it'd probably be easiest to point to the manual . Though I didn't vote for either of my nominations here, instead going for Dune II and LBP. Gradius (1985, Arcade) Perhaps the first game to have that sort of risk-reward power-up sy...

BEST GAME EVER Since this is old hat and therefore boring, I just tried to give a handful of nominations here that I knew would be underrepresented among our crowd. Planescape: Torment (PC) Final Fantasy III (FC) Fallout (PC) Star Control II (PC) A Mind Forever Voyaging (PC) Uplink (PC) Wing Comman...

Yeah Slurmee, those stupid Goobergapes (who are apparently lying to people about Sony banning visual novels as a whole, even though I've never seen that claim made once in the three weeks that this has been an issue) are just being uppity.

I'm using Wikipedia for ease in making this list, so it would be unsurprising if I miss something obvious. I'm going to use the exclamation point system to signify the number of games above one that were seriously contending for the top spot. I am using first year of release on the platform in quest...

I have played 60 games on the Top 100 and beaten 36 of these where applicable if I didn't miscount. (37 if you count beating the first half of SotN, 44 if you further count the games that I don't consider beatable. I left off a couple of games that I beat through wholesale cheating, though there are...
