Top three video games of all time. Ever.
Top three, of all time, from any system or platform, and why.
My picks...
1. Final Fantasy Tactics: It's all about the gameplay...and this game had it in abundance. Tactical Strategy in the Final Fantasy Universe with a near-endless number of ways to play the game. A PS1 game that I still come back to and play...again, and again, and again.
2. Front Mission Three: Also for Playstation, also RPG/strategy. One of the first games I remember playing with multiple storylines depending on your choices. Kind of like a game of chess using giant robots instead of kings, pawns, and bishops.
3. Gran Turismo 3 A-spec: Always gave me sweaty palms and a fast heartbeat. Probably the only racing game that changed the way I drive in real life.

The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time - the boss fights in this game are spectacular. The Z-targeting invented here has become a standard of any 3-d game worth its salt that requires hitting something.
Super Mario Brothers 3 - Excellent level design, fantastical settings with rich variety, excellent gameplay, the tanooki suit, and the boot. All great fun.
Chrono Trigger - RPG with multiple story lines, multiple endings, and a slew of original characters designed by Akira Toriyama (Dragonball fame). Made as a collaboration between Enix and Square, the story line and characters are all top notch and highly memorable.

I'm going to have to agree with the first and the last ones on there. For the middle one I'd put Goldeneye.
Oh man, I am going to have to think about this one. I think I have about 150 games between my systems.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time... yea what he said
Resident Evil: First gameplay and story worthy of having to deal with strange camera angles and controls
Gran Turismo 3: makes you learn real driving techniques and get licenses... plus rally racing

Super Metroid, A Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, Ocarina of Time, Secret of Mana, to name a few. It's too hard to decide. Super Metroid probably number one.
Oh yeah, Unreal.

I didn't really get serously into gaming until N64 came along. I chose these games because I've spent countless hours playing them.
Neverwinter Nights is close 4th.

good man!
Been playing FF past two days, if you don't already know (I just found out) about 8-bit theater. comics are down right now, no clue why.
Anyway, it's so very hard but I'll take a crack at it.
Legend of Zelda:A Link to the Past
Final Fantasy IV (aka 2 US)
Civilization
Super Mario 3 - racoon suit was the bomb and the frog suit was ill cute
Street Fighter 2 - "Guile" and "Ken" were my best characters
MegaMan 2 - The strategy of which boss to attack and which weapons to use was cool.
Contra - Spread Gun. Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A B A Select Start.

I think that's gotta be the coolest video game of all time. And my runners up:
Tetris
Super Mario Bros.

Geez people, he said video games. Console crap isn't video! You gotta go to an arcade to get this stuff. Most of y'all are too young to know that Ms. PacMan, Galaga, and (IMHO) Joust, are the best video games ever made. Heck, Ms. PacMan and Galaga still suck in the quarters, to the extent that they made a new machine containing them both.
Halo?? Gimme a break, it's not been released yet! How can it be best?

And I'm sure if I thought about it more, I'd change the list again and again. Too many games to choose from and too many reasons why it would be in a top 3.

I would have to say Banjo Tooie was my all time fav. That game was damn huge.
Zelda would be it but I found it too easy. I beat the last boss on the FIRST TRY! He looked sweet though.

The best game is beyond a doubt Dungeon Master for the Atari ST. A breakthrough realtime 3D adventure/role playing game. Simply stunning, even today.
Second: Ghostbusters for the Commodore 64, because of immense playability and great game design.
Third: Starglider for the Amstrad PCW because it was better than the Starglider games for other platforms. For some reason it had more depth that was not included in other vesions. Totally fab!
Yay! 3000 posts.

And every time MuchMusic (Canadian MTV, except they actually play music videos) asks viewers to vote for best songs of all time, they always pick flavour of the month like Britney, Backstreet Boys, etc. C'mon people, how long is your attention spans? The best video games of all time are:
Pong
Pacman
SimCity

I dunno, if you guys are getting in to computer games, there should be a bunch of votes for:
Ultima 7
Civ 2
Warcraft 2
Not that I would vote for them, because I was a poor (financially) console baby growing up.
