I think fortnite would have made gaming fun if you entered puberty in about 2015That guy that built fortnite. Seriously, how do none of you have him on the list. He made gaming cool and not just for stupid nerds, and you all are acting like these nobodies you put on your lists have done shit, like seriously. Shigero Miyamotos made like two actually good games, but that was 25 years ago, gaming for like my dad but who cares.
Also Steve Jobs. If we didn't have the iphone, people would still be playing kids games on the nintendo wii. Gamings not for little babies anymore, okay?
And the guy that made the skyrim meme, but just because it made me laugh, I guess

RobotronWhat games did the NES not have counters to?
Growing up, NES was my first system, YEARS later I played my Pop's old 2600 and easily close to 15 games or so on that system, but I didn't really make many comparison's as a kid when I first got a NES, I just wanted Mario and Castlevania and some Gusher's for my Friday nights. Interesting to learn that it didn't have counters to some of those games. I remember being blown away by Sonic 2 when I first saw it at a kiosk and became a Sega kid for a good while until we got a PlayStation, so it's interesting to learn from those that are more knowledgeable on the subject and then try and compare it to my memories of the time. I'll be your Guinea pig if you want to do a screenshot test. Could be fun.Robotron
F15
Wonderboy III
Phantasy Star
Ninja Golf
Tower Toppler
Road Rash
Food Fight
Prince of Persia
Etc
Both systems could do real polygons too iirc. I think all NES has is Elite using some hardware trick.
In addition Atari wasn't slow and could have sprites of any size move at any speed in high number on screen.
Sega allowed you to put a lot of detail on large sprites and backgrounds without flicker and usually could move sprites faster than the NES too, both consoles are perfect for fast paced arcade games for this reason.
Even the 5200 could play Ballblazer and the NES barely can, it was one step forward and 5 steps back. It was only really good at one thing, which Sega did better until MMC 4 and 5. Then on the side you had the Amiga come out a year earlier and the NES hardware was just inexcusable. It even harder to go back and play NES now.
I fell you needed to grow up with it as a kid who had nothing else to forgive all the shortcomings. But all 3 consoles were underpowered, just NES was the worst of them.
I can post CV screens tell you they are from one of the 3 consoles and you won't be able to know I'm tricking you in many instances.

Well, if #1 hadn't had the big Nintendo sign right there I would have said that is the worst, but noticing that, I'd say #3?Interesting.
*snip*
Take a guess which of the 4 is a CV game.
Nope. None of them are CV games. The CV game was the example image I used for the NES with the penguin.Well, if #1 hadn't had the big Nintendo sign right there I would have said that is the worst, but noticing that, I'd say #3?
What the hell is a CV game? And why has a thread about gaming’s Mt Rushmore turned into this?Nope. None of them are CV games. The CV game was the example image I used for the NES with the penguin.
And there you go.
Maybe you should read conversations before jumping into them?What the hell is a CV game? And why has a thread about gaming’s my Rushmore turned into this?
It’s my thread, jackass. You started the conversation with me.Maybe you should read conversations before jumping into them?

If none of y'all are going to include Ralph Baer on your lists, none of them are valid to me.
#1 Ralph Baer - Video games creator. Maker of the Odyssey. Often called the father of video games.
#2 Shigeru Miyamoto - This is an easy one. Makers of Zelda, Mario, and countless more.
#3 John Carmack - Another easy one. Creator of Doom and forged the basis of the first person shooter.
#4 Nolan Bushnell - The man who plunged video games into the mainstream. Creator of the Atari 2600, PONG, and a multitude of other great games.
Honorable mentions:
#1 -Hironobu Sakaguchi -Creator of Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger and the man responsible bringing RPGs to the mainstream.
#2 - Hideo Kojima - Kojima's worth mentioning because of the themes of his games and the messages he tries to invoke in each game he makes. His focus on storytelling brings him into focus for me.
#3 - Will Wright - Simulation games mastermind. He created SimCity and of course, The Sims.
#4 - Gabe Newell - Perfected the first person shooter and for most games today are kind of the basis of how most FPS games play today. Also the man responsible for Steam.
Basically, the idea is "Who is your PERSONAL top 4-5 gaming developers? I'm not talking about companies. Repeat, I am not talking about companies. I'm talking about individuals who either programmed, produced, designed, engineered, or otherwise made video game software or hardware at some level. And I emphasized "personal" because this is about which developer legend has effected your life as a gamer the most- a list that is most likely never going to change in your lifetime.
*For non-Americans, Mt. Rushmore is a massive carving cut out of the side of a mountain of what is suppose to be four of our greatest presidents.
Here is my Mt. Rushmore of gaming devs:
5. Gabe Newell (half life, portal, left 4 dead, as well as Steam)
4. Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, The Last Story)
3. Koji Kondo (composer for multiple Nintendo franchises)
2. John Carmack (Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Commander Keen lol, Occulus Rift)
1. Shigeru Miyamoto (If you don't know who this is, why are you here?)
* I have a ton of honorable mentions, but will wait to share those after others have shared. And yes, I know Mt. Rushmore only has four presidents. Originally, a 5th was planned, but either way, I want a top 5 dang it!
Interesting dodge.It’s my thread, jackass. You started the conversation with me.
Interesting dodge.
Fact is if you followed the conversation you jumped in you wouldn't have been confused.
Instead if realizing that you're now derailing your own thread extending this conversation
Because you had a SMS, a 7800, an ST, an C64, or an Amiga. All of which had actual games with evolution in game design instead of side scroller left right.
