ROTR is not one of the best 20 games of all time but it doesn't deserve all this mockery. It's certainly better than garbage that is present on the list just because of wild commercial success, like Mortal Kombat and Angry Birds.
Not one Lucasfilm/LucasArts adventure game makes the list but
King’s Quest III: To Heir Is Human does?
The original LoZ isn't even a top 10 nintendo game.
Despite popular GAF opinion, it's not the best game ever made. Not that anything below the top ten makes a whole lot of sense anyway though.
The only time Mortal Kombat should be ranked higher than Street Fighter is when comparing the movies

Nope.

Tetris is the closest thing a human has produced to perfect at its core.

For live action, despite how stupid it was, I did enjoy the first MK movie, but the rest were pure shit.
I feel these lists need to differentiate between game quality vs game influence / cultural impact.
Some of these titles are incredible for their time and stand the test of time as well - however have been eclipsed in terms of overall game depth and mechanics in their respective genres. At the same time, those advancements may not have been possible without the existence of these games and the impact they've had.
Idk, first thought that came to me just browsing through.
I feel giving Tetris the #1 spot is like giving Candy Crush Saga #1 twenty years from now. It has a lot to do with mass appeal and nostalgic factor.
People here really get kind of silly when a list doesn't fit their idea of what the best games are, huh?
Why they'd pick Starcraft 2 over Brood War is beyond me.
Otherwise it's a decent list of industry firsts and influencers. King's Quest 3 making the list was fun, the beginning of the game easily puts it over the others, though I have a soft spot for 6 in my heart.
Rise of the tomb raider is the only one that reeks of advertisement, since no one actually believes that.
True. I think it's inherently flawed to try to rank any kind of art under the super broad category of "best".I feel these lists need to differentiate between game quality vs game influence / cultural impact.

Nintendo getting 4 (5 if you count Tetris) of the top 10 is impressive. I would have expected Wii Sports to be in the top 10 considering it got pretty much every age demographic playing games from kids to grandparents.
How does the oregon trail hold up? still nice gameplay for todays standards?
As far as I'm concerned, it's the best game ever created, so I disagree.
Top 10:
10. World of Warcraft
9. The Oregon Trail
8. Super Mario Bros.
7. The Legend of Zelda
6. Minecraft
5. Ms. Pacman
4. Doom
3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2. Super Mario 64
1. Tetris
A lot of enthusiasts tend to become too emotionally invested in their favorite things, so a number of them will take something that doesn't line up with their opinions as a personal offense It's definitely weird and honestly, a bit creepy.
Galaga is better than Bioshock confirmed.
This is a solid list but I'd call it "most important games of all time."
"Best" implies eternal replayability and most if not all of those games are extremely dated.
