Tetris named best game of all time by Time magazine:
http://time.com/4458554/best-video-games-all-time/

Here are the top 10:
1 Tetris
2 Super Mario 64
3 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
4 Doom
5 Ms. Pac-Man
6 Minecraft
7 The Legend of Zelda
8 Super Mario Bros.
9 The Oregon Trail
10 World of Warcraft

As you can see, only 2 games of the top 10 aren't /vr/.

The list really should be named "most influential" instead...though that'd put SMB and WoW way higher.

Tetris' fine where it is though. Literally a flawless game.

1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 10 should be dropped.

Being the best-selling video game in history, there's no denying that Tetris is among the most influential.

Tetris is great but imo it's more like chess or pinball than another videogame and doesn't really belong on that list. I mean come on it's tetris, it's boring after a while frankly, to me anyway. Time trying to stay relevant in 2016.
>>
>>3457582
This is probably the most shit list I've seen in quite some time.
>>
>>3457582
Tetris is legit #1, honestly.

I would've put either Solitaire, Freecell or Minesweeper up there though.

And there's no point in having two Marios and two Zeldas there.

7. James Pond
8. Batman: The Caped Crusader
9. Bubble Bobble

Both are genre-defining games, but of different eras. Overall, I'd say it's a good list about important games, regardless of whether they're actually that good or not.

>>3457582
"Top Ten Most Well-Known Games of All Time" or "Top Ten Most Influential Games of All Time" are the more accurate titles, but it probably wouldn't catch as many people's eye.
>>
what makes a video game good or best?
>>
>>3457582
I don't know if I'd say it's the #1 vidya (puzzlers were never my favorite, but I do quite like Arkanoid and Dr.Mario) but it's certainly very good.

Simple and addicting formula, I find myself getting sucked in even today; "Just one more game!"

Have they released this for smartphones and shit yet? Tetris took the entire world by storm, adult people with office jobs were playing it in company computers back in the day, so it can certainly appeal to an older demographic.

Like, maybe a touch screen would be balls for a game like this, but maybe it would popularize the presence of a physical directional pad and the addition of action buttons, or at the least a snap-on pad attaching through the charger port becoming a more common accessory.
Nothing fancy, just a flat (possibly folding) piece with a Dpad, four action buttons, then start and select, casuals and normalfags would easily be able to grasp this after a little while.

They both did something relatively new or unusual, WOW was THE MMO for a very long time, pretty much owning the overwhelming majority of the market, and was a financial wonder for Blizzard (whether or not it was good, I don't know, but Blizzard sure isn't as good at making games anymore).
I remember thinking all those years ago "Well they're making so much money on WOW, surely that means they'll have all the resources to make the next Starcraft and Diablo really good"
I was a naive kid.

Minecraft might be kind of overrated and whored out for bullshit merchandising, but it's also a game which does something people hadn't seen before, there are clones now, but before it hit it big, it was pretty unique (arguably conceptually similar to Infiniminer, or whatever it was called).
I haven't played it in years, but I do remember that there was something very rewarding about hollowing out a mountain and building a sick-ass castle on top, and a village down in the valley, for my subjects.
I do recall that they began shoehorning in pseudo-RPG mechanics though, which I felt made the game less fun.

Also it's optimized like shit and is surprisingly taxing for a game where everything is rendered in plain cubes and painted in 32x32 textures.
>>
>>3457694
It's pretty influentual to Americans, it was on every single school computer at one time (I think newer versions might be in schools now), it manages to be a decent timesink while also teaching you a bit about America in the 1800s, so I say it warrants a spot simply for being one of the very few educational games that actually manages to connect to it's target audience, kids.

Another reason is that it was easy to modify, you could easily make it so your classmates die of Syphilis or Hepatitis, then their tombstone had a crude depection of a dick on it.
>>
It's an ok normie list you babies
>>
>>3458434
Isn't Time an American publication?

At any rate, America is a huge country and a huge market for videogames, and again, I will argue that Oregon Trail is significant for the fact that it's an educational game kids actually wanted to play, that's remarkable even if it's only really big in North America

If you're going for an objective list, Tetris is pretty much the best possible choice you can make for #1. I guarantee people will still be regularly playing it in 50 years, which is more than you can say for most games.

Tetris isn't even a top 10 puzzle game, honestly. It had its moment for being one of the first and wasn't bad, but holy crap there are a ton more puzzle games that are so much better and so much more fun.

Shit controls, shit camera, not even top 100

Not even the best Zelda. Wonky controls made worse by the N64 controller and boring linear gameplay in a series that is supposed to be about exploration make it one of the worst Zelda games.

Seems like they're going for most influential. It's not that I have a problem with the games, but this list needs more variety. There's a ton of genres that need to be represented.

Super Mario 64 is one of the worst Mario games, they should have replaced it with world. Minecraft is obviously shit. Oregon trail doesn't deserve to be there.

Something can be genre defining and not be good anymore.
I mean, the first cell phone. Sure, great invention. But absolutely shit compared to today's phones.

I can think of a 100 games better than the OG Super Mario Bros. Ditto on the OG Zelda.
Games evolve and get better and more complex. I doubt very many people would want to be stuck on a deserted island with the only game to play being Super Mario Bros.

>Majora's Mask
>Super Mario World
>Metal Gear Solid
>Chrono Trigger
>Super Metroid
>Symphony of the Night
>Sonic CD
and for the weeaboo/hidden gem crowd

I think that's the best coverage of memes you can fit into a top ten list.

Granted, most of these are legitimately good games, but it's not like the memers actually appreciate them that way.

So just (mostly) Nintendo stuff that has been (sorta) surpassed?
Did nobody have a PC from that generation or what?
Where are the startegy games?
>>
>>3462750
A lot of these have had a resurgence or been elevated to meme status by let's players and AGDQ.

PC gaming has always been viewed as totally orthogonal to console gaming and as such is never considered by the meme-tier casuals.

The meme-level strategy games right now are either not retro, on PC, or bumped by another game on the list in the same franchise, so I didn't put them on my list. Casuals don't really care about them anyway.

The last good 3rd game in a set

2/10 thanks for telling about Zax

I strongly disagree with that, but at the same time I can't think of any other game that deserves that spot.

As weird as it sounds, it should take more than a game being literally flawless to be #1.

>Mario 64
For historical significance, sure, I guess. The game controls kind of like ass by today's standards.
>OoT
Same as above. Makes more sense to use the remake as the example of the better game, but the original has more historical significance.
>Doom
...If the previous 2 were rated that high due to their significance, then Doom really should be number 2 or even 1. And for that matter, where the fuck is Pong?
>Ms. Pac-Man
...But not Pac-Man? How were these picks decided? Ms. Pac-Man is GOAT, but the games certainly don't seem to be picked by quality alone here.
>Minecraft
What a joke
>TLoZ
Historically significant, I guess?
>SMB
I still can't tell if these are picked for historical significance or quality. SMB3 would surely be a better pick for NES Mario.
>Oregon Trail
OK, I guess.
>WoW
Another joke

I have no interest in reading the article, but I gotta know, who does Time hire to make these lists? It's like they opened up Wikipedia and researched bestselling games and read through some forum arguments.
>>
>>3457582
They're not using "greatest" in any meaningful way. Basically it seems like a bunch of games Time think its readers should be aware of while they're waiting in the dentist's office.
>1 Tetris
Good choice on multiple levels
>2 Super Mario 64
>3 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Important, popular games when 3D was becoming the standard
>4 Doom
Duh
>5 Ms. Pac-Man
Gender pandering aside, solid choice to represent the arcade era
>6 Minecraft
Go ahead and bash it. I think kids are better off playing Minecraft than most other games.
>7 The Legend of Zelda
>8 Super Mario Bros.
Obvious choices

Kind of a weird choice, but it's the most well-known educational game, a genre worth mentioning

But still, why tetris, why do people insist on this thing? It's a really fun game, but it's more like Chess or Go than any other videogame.

as for time's list, mmm... theres a few there i agree with, but yes, definatly agree it's more of an "influential list" than GOAT.
so many of those games are pretty naff if you were to pick up and play them today.
SM64, OoT, and original zelda especially.

I've been playing alot of tetris recently and it is such a sweet simple game. but no.1? no way. i agree with another poster, if thats the type of game there going for, then pong deserves no.1

nope, i think tetris is great.
i think the list is about influence because half the games on it are objectively crappier than tonnes of games which have been released in the last decade. OoT & SM64 are great fun, but try introducing them to a teenager nowadays whose never played them before, guarantee they will comment on the bad graphics.

this is just my subjective opinion.

you suggested pong leads tetris when it comes to influence, so I asked if you suggest indeed that pong is more influential.

in terms of graphics, gameplay, controls, camera, sound effects. my point is, give a teenager say a copy of mario galaxy 2 and sm64 and they will play galaxy way more ( i use galaxy for comparisons sake). they are just better made, better looking, tigther controls, tighter camera, better everything.

>will they comment on the bad game?

probably. early 3d platformers have tonnes of room for improvement. obviously they are not bad games, im just saying compared to todays games, there more primitive and uglier.

No one is going to take you serious with such claims.

>Notch stole the source code to Infiniminer and made his own game you fucking retard.
Not my fault one chucklefuck managed to properly market something the other was too lazy to do. Anyways there have been similar cases of stolen ideas or concepts made popular (and better) by others throughout gaming history (such as Alpha Waves and Super Mario 64, or Jumping Flash and Mirror's Edge etc).

Neither was

>purely since it was the first videogame ever made
assuming the claim is true (see >>3471737 ) how does being the first mean it's most influential? Was the first book most influential to the way novels are written? Has the first movie influenced most what came after it? Are you saying that if Pong wasn't made, video games as a whole would not exist, because people had no idea about the concept?

>gameplay, controls
be specific, please. These are bold claims

>they are just better made, better looking, tigther controls, tighter camera, better everything
that's a rather questionable statement without much of a backup. Unless you can specifically point out how game mechanics affected a game negatively, have been improved (including reasoning why it's an improvement) and things like that, you're coming off as a rather simple minded "new is better", which is, especially on this board, not exactly a welcome position. People on here learned, and understood, that not everything new is an improvement, and that games of other time periods may have done things better, accidentally or intentionally, that modern games aren't doing. People here don't necessarily play /vr/ games out of nostalgia reasons, but because these games are good, if not exceptional, in their genres. So good, that even technological improvement managed to outperform them

>im just saying compared to todays games, there more primitive
how so? What's missing that detracted from the game? You're kind of suggesting, to run with it, that a game like fifa 2016 is inherently better than pong, because it's more complex. Is complexity a quality criterion to you?

Infiniminer code was publicly available on google code, still is publicly available on github https://github.com/craftworkgames/infiniminer.

It's also written in C#/XNA, while Minecraft is in Java. At the very least porting was required, though it's much more likely Notch was simply porting the functions he considered useful, changing the stuff he didn't.

Infiniminer has a very permissive license (MIT), permitting reuse and modifications, as long as the copyright statement remains. I am not a lawyer, but I would not be surprised if porting is not a derivation, so Minecraft would not even need to include the copyright statement, even if structures or logic were copied near-identically during the porting.

In other words, it's not only likely that using the Infiniminer code as inspiration is legal, it's also explicitly allowed by the copyright owner.

>still being played in the millions in 2016
I doubt most kids born after 2000 have even played Tetris.
>>
>>3471780
Tetris is available on the 3DS, NDS, Wii, PSVita, PS3, PS4, Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, OSX and a couple hundred other platforms. The games are still sold, bought and actively played, by all age groups

He more than likely wasn't talking about that.
>>
>>3457582
Why is this being taken seriously? We here at /vr/ know that there are better games so who cares? besides of course they chose those, nintendo is always there because its the most popular.
>>
>>3457716
I like tetris a lot and I've wasted hours of my life playing it, but even then I think your point makes sense, even other games in the genre like Puyo Puyo are better choices.
>>
>>3471823
>other games in the genre like Puyo Puyo are better choices
why?
>>
>>3471829
Because it has cuter characters and blocks.
>>
>>3471848
that's not exactly useful points in the context of this exchange
>>
>>3471780
I think a shitload of adults who played it back then probably still like it since it's still easily available.

Remember, this is a game that kinda helped sell the Gameboy and NES to parents, there's lots of stories right here on /vr/ about people's parents playing Dr. Mario and Tetris back in the day, it's the kind of games which can very easily appeal to any age group, the concept is simple and the gameplay addictive, you put Tetris in the hands of an average kid today, they'll be sure to play it for a bit, because it's an easy concept to get into.

how so? The combination of two things, each good on its own, is better? That's a bit of a fallacy

Or maybe didn't have enough money.

Notch didn't start out with any money either.
