[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 884401, member: 151"] Quite right. UU (from the folks who would bring us one of the most distrubing game series EVAH, System Shock). Doom's claim to fame was not the 3D nearly as much as the excellent level design, insane gameplay (more enemies on screen than ever before), outstanding use of sound, SHAREWARE RELEASAL and deathmatch gameplay (which really didn't take off until Doom II). It was the Shareware aspect that made Doom the success it became. Zelda rightfully deserves it's place on that list. Link to the past is, in many ways, a better game than Ocarina of Time. OoT is very pretty, but was the first generation of a new technology, and it showed. Wizardry should be on such a list, as Henry says. It was a landmark, and nothing less, that gave rise to tons of imitators. Ulitma IV was an amazing game, in some ways, but, to me, astoundingly boring in others. It's reach exceeded it's grasp, but what a reach it had. I suspect you'll find that this list is going to be skewed towards console gaming first, and more recent titles second. I don't expect to see, say, Karateka on there. [/QUOTE]
