Muchos seran los llamados…

As a counterpoint to lists warning against Top 1o Most Evil Games, many feel called to make a canon of the very finest specimens ever.
Here’s Kjetil Sandvik‘s recent attempt:

• Spacewar (first real computer game)
• Pong (first commercial game)
• Colossal Cave Adventure (first text adventure)
• Asteroids (first commercial and succesful vectorbased game)
• MUD1 (First multi-user dungeon/dimension)
• Mario Bros (first character-based platform game)
• Madden NFL (first good licensed sport game)
• Pole Position (first good driving game)
• Pac Man (the ultimate arcade game)
• The Ultima-series (long, commercial and artistic succesful RPG-series)
• Microsoft Flight Simulator (first, pure and best simulator)
• Civilization (Ground-breaking God perspective/building game, marvelous gameplay)
• Tetris (A class of its own)
• Myst (first visually narrative CD-ROM)
• Doom (historically epoch-making technology/content)
• Tekken (most succesful martial arts games)
• Final Fantasy-series (Ground-braking adventure/RPG)
• The Sims (Again a class of its own)
• Grand Theft Auto (first and biggest in 3D freedom-of-movement, ironically, theme-based, show-off sound track)
