I must have been stoned in 1994, cause I don't even remember that game! The rest of them I remember fondly, except for the Sims stuff that I never played.

I played Diablo probably every day for six months.

I'm surprised that none of the games in the "Age of Empires" made it.

I really loved Jagged Alliance games, and XCOM was billed as a better and more popular game of that genre.  I pirated it to see what all the buzz was about, and was dumbfounded.

I've only played 5 of those. -_-

I've played nearly every game on there, and I did really like X-COM, but I dunno about "greatest game of all time". :huh:

Half life is definitely my number 1.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Disagree a lot with the list, but that's me.  I only played probably half of the games listed though.

You're too young to remember what good games were like.

LucasArt's Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe or MicroProse's M1 Tank Platoon FTW.

Haven't played a lot of them, or I've just played them a little bit.
On my personal list, I'd substitute Angband for Diablo (they're basically the same I believe, except Diablo has graphics), the Marathon trilogy for Quake/Doom/etc.

C&C, SimCity, Mechwarrior 2... the list brings back some good memories.

I'll have to actually give X-Com a spin. I have it but haven't tried playing it yet.

Starcraft ranked lower than vanilla C&C? Are you kidding me?

Only 2 games from earlier than 1990? :yeahright:

PC games were pretty crappy that early on. I hardly think a game like Space Invaders deserves to be on the best games ever list.
