Game Pro Top 52 Games of All Time
GamePro recently did a feature on The 52 Most Important Video Games of All Time” and man… what a list it is… Actually, it’s not a bad list and it has lots of cool games that I really do agree are some of the most important games out there. You know, the games that have made gaming what it is today. Gamerific.
From the list, I took out what I thought were interesting games and put a small bit of commentary next to it. You may bow before me.
- 51. Mystery House - This was the first game that featured graphics and happened to be created by Roberta and Ken Williams of Sierra On-Line fame. The picture at the top is from Mystery House. How cool is it that there is a dead person in the back yard? That’s sweet.
- 30. Zork - Great fantasy/adventure game. This site says it paved the way for games like World of Warcraft. Mmmm, text based games are yummy!
- 29. Ultima Online - Very first graphic based Massively Multiplayer Game. I lurve me some UO. It was the first online game I had ever played and I still sometimes go back to play on it, just for old times sake.
- 28. Adventure - Very first RPG. Without RPGs, the world would be a dark place.
- 21. Myst - According to the list, this game was the highest selling of all time until the Sims came around. Myst pushed your computer and your mind to their limit and is one of those games you can always go back to.
- 4. World of Warcraft - Article says that the entire world is playing WoW and it is not only a game, but a social structure. WoW is indeed
- 3. The Legend of Zelda - First mainstream RPG, because of it being played on a gaming console instead of a good ol’ computer. Zelda did pave the way for dorks in training. Without Zelda, we probably wouldn’t have had all the many Final Fantasy games.
- 2. John Madden NFL Football - Ummm, what the hell is this doing at number 2?
So, there you have it. A pretty interesting list, if you’re really so bored, you would have nothing better to do than look at other people’s lists.

Madden came in ahead of Zelda … that ain’t right … that just ain’t right.

I know… Madden shouldn’t have come ahead of most of those games. Evil football games!
