Default A poll from some site lists the top 20 games of all time

These are usually good to generate some discussion, especially since no one ever agrees with these things.

This one is based on votes from over 2,000 gamers.

Top 20 games list topped by Mario | Gaming Industry | News by MCV

Quote:
1. Super Mario Bros.

2. Pac-Man

3. Tetris

4. The Sims

5. Sonic the Hedgehog

6. Space Invaders

7. Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas

8. Donkey Kong

9. Mario Kart 64

10. Grand Theft Auto - Vice City

11. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

12. Wii Sports

13. Final Fantasy

14. Gran Turismo

15. Lemmings

16. Frogger

17. Pokemon, Red, Blue and Green

18. Street Fighter II

19. Wii Play

20. Guitar Hero
This list is automatically wrong entirely because of number 19.

But I do agree with some of it. I thought everyone except me forgot about lemmings, that was a great game.

Lemmings still pops up every now and then. It was one of the first games available for download on the PSN. This list does have a really old school feel to it, at least up until Wii Play. I've never actually heard anybody say they got the game for anything other than the Wiimote let alone consider it as one of the top games ever.

I like how you list gets more and more dramatic.

MK64 deserves a place. It's the best MK in my opinion although I know a lot of people disagree. However, according to metacritic and most other gaming websites LOZ:Ocarina of Time is the best game ever. Why does that game not even appear on this list? But Tomb Raider does???

The list is pretty bad imo

I typically don't mind these lists just because they often go against popular convention and you see a couple of games pop up that you normally wouldn't. Personal opinion/preference in favourite game lists is nice to see instead of yet another list that is filled mostly with the highest rated games on metacritic.

That being said this list really out there and makes me wonder just who it was that was polled and if they were taking it seriously.

Super Mario Bros voted greatest computer game ever - Telegraph

Here is another article about the same list. It clears up one thing that the first article doesn't.

The poll of 2,000 gamers, conducted by www.onepoll.com, revealed 'old skool' games are still firm favourites with Britain's army of gamers.
