Not really. The Mario that really matters will be top 10, maybe number 1. They can't put all the Mario games that basically just improved on the existing formula in the top 10. Wave Race is a little high for me because Jet Ski games aren't exactly HUGE because of it, but I get why it's higher than Mario World. Wave Race was something new, Mario World was something old done better.

Thank you Einstein. Go back to your hole now with your shitty jetski game, keep telling yourself it's better than one of the most creative, fun games of all time: Super Mario World. First sight of Yoshi; Totally new gameplay, totally innovative graphics, blah blah blah one of the greatest ever.

I'm not even a Wave Race fan. I just get why they would put it there. Kind of like when they do top albums lists. People could realistically out 5 or 6 Beatles albums in the top 10 but they usually only put 1 or 2. It's called variety. Mario World was Mario 3, just a little longer and Yoshi. Mario 3 was basically Mario with a few things added here and there. The formula was the same and that is why the originator gets credit.
When they make a top 100 electronic inventions lists the original TV set will be very close to the top, while the colour TV may be a little lower and the far superior flat screen or plasma TV will be way up the list. Even though the plasma is superior to the original TV, it's nowhere near as important. The VCR will most likely out-do all the TV minus the orignal as well. This is the logic used when creating the top games list.
If it were up to you the list would be
10. Zelda
9. Zelda 2
8. Link to the Past
7. Mario 2
6. Mario World
5. Mario 3
4. Mario 64
3. Ocarina of Time
2. Mario Bros.
1. Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Do you see how odd that list would seem (minus the MJ joke)? Variety is the key, and so is importance to the industry. Once again, I don't even like Wave Race.

star craft was more popular than warcraft, in fact, the current war craft games (the RTS's) owe alot to star craft
and while diablo is a great game, it's been done bigger and better. Neverwinter Nights and Guild Wars, are similar games that leave diablo in the dust

--- Quote from: Shallow on July 29, 2005, 04:53:55 PM ---Looks like the top 10 are in;
10) Super Metroid
9) Star Wars: TIE Fighter Collector's CD-ROM
8.) Street Fighter II
7) StarCraft
6) Sid Meier's Pirates!
5) Super Mario 64
4) Sid Meier's Civilization II
3) Tetris
2) Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
1) Super Mario Bros.
The only thing about this lost that pisses me off is no NES Zelda games made it (as far as I know). Virtua Fighter 2 should also be on the list somewhere.

Tie Fighter? Pirates? Civilization II? Not even top 100.

you're not even a big game fan so i don't know why you're complaining. you only like certain games. you've admitted you hardly even play any games anymore
i don't have that broad of a music taste, it would be like me making the top 100 songs of all time... you'd see alot of rap on there and other garbage most people would laugh at.
this list encompasses alot of genres. sports, 2d adventure, 3d adventure, 3rd person, FPS, RTS, racing, flight sims, sims, RPG..... it's got something for everyone
plus these guys spend their whole life gaming, and for the most part i've never seen these people biased for or against a game (maybe that peice of shit Fable)
Dj Eskimo:
Super mario bros was a dope ass game, dunno if it was just me but was Super Mario 2 wack? i just didnt feel that game at all.
white Boy:
