Top three video games of all time. Ever.

In that case:

Diablo 2

TaskMaker

Solitaire Until Dawn

Holy sh*t, someone actually remembers that game!!!!!!!!!!!

It was being ported to the Mac years ago and then...poof!

Mike

1 :: halo

2 :: grand theft auto (original)

3 :: sonic (genesis)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

and so many more...

Sonic is l33t!

Heck yeah I remember that game! The best one I ever played

I never heard anything about converting Dungeon Master to tha Mac. I know Dungeon Master II was converted for the Mac ('cause I have it), but the original Dungeon Master was never made for the Mac.

Perhaps you would like to check out this page here:
http://dmweb.free.fr/

They have *everything* about Dungeon Master. Everything.

Including the game itself for many many platforms. You can even download DM2 for the Mac there.

Oh, OK maybe it was DMII. I remember seeing it at MW in Boston I think. I don't recall seeing it at a MW in NY.

EDIT: That site ROCKS! DM for the PC . I have to try it on an old DOS machine at work. I'm DLing the album now.

1. Ico (PS2)
Proof that video games can be art.

2. Final Fantasy IV (Super NES, PlayStation)
Interesting characters, perfect music, plot twist after plot twist after plot twist.

3. Ecco the Dolphin (Genesis, Sega CD)
Who knew that a dolphin simulator could be fun? A mix of several genres with an emphasis on puzzle solving. Normally that doesn't work well, but Ecco pulled it off beautifully. Visuals are so artistically impressive that they look good even today. The music in the Sega CD version is some of the best ever composed.

Honorable Mentions (in no particular order):
Puyo Puyo series
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy VI
Super Metroid
Grandia II
Street Fighter III
Super Mario World
Grandia
Samurai Shodown II
Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future
Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Rayman 2: Revolution
Klonoa 2
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Tetris

1. Original Mario Bros.
2. Donkey Kong
3. Miss Pac Man

Oldies, but goodies!

Civilization series (tough to pick one really)

Mario Brothers 3

Zelda 3: Link to the Past

Honorable Mentions:
Resident Evil, Mario 64, Super Metroid, NHL 94, Zelda 1, Zelda 64:OOT, Super Mario Kart, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, World Series Baseball '98, and Wipeout XL.... of course, I could list about 30 more....

Personally I don't believe in voting for games like Pacman because, although they were immensely influential, they bore the living crap out of me.

Asteroids
Tempest
Tetris

Pong (mobile phone)
Brickbash (mobile phone)
Snake II (mobile phone)

Only games I like, only games I play.

Lifetime Achievement Award goes to the original Legend of Zelda. Even though it's very doubtful that there are any cartridges capable of saving games left nowadays (the batteries have almost certainly all died), it's still the most asked-about game on Nintendo's tipline, and still the most popular FAQ for its system on GameFAQS. That's one hell of a lot of staying power. Its sequels are all great games in their own right, but the original has outlasted them all. And don't even get me started on Zelda:Outlands, the uber-hack of the original to create a new game which may be even better.

Personally, my favorite Zelda was Ocarina of Time (especially the sequence where you escape from the Gerudo prison), but the original simply won't be denied.

This is a Mac forum. But even in a Windows forum, show me the person that's running Halo. Zip, nada, zilch. It's not out yet.

Did you forget Archon?

Super Mario World
Quake 3 Team Arena
Deus Ex
