The Best Video Games in the History of Humanity

I copied this from a previous blog i wrote in high school:

The Best Video Games in the History of Humanity

I'm not the only guy who likes making lists. Over the years, many gaming magazines and websites have made lengthy lists of their own in an attempt to compile comprehensive guides chronicling the best video games of all time. Here is a summary of some of the leading Top 10s, as excerpted from various Top 100 lists.

I have tried to be as diverse and inclusive as possible in my selection of lists. Some will inevitably appear more credible than others, but my intent was quantity more than quality. By assembling a collection of lists that was as vast as possible, I was hoping to see if there appears to be any consensus as to what games truly are history's best.

here is what i found!

Rank Title Publisher Year
1 Super Mario Bros. Nintendo 1985
2 Super Mario 64 Nintendo 1996
3 Donkey Kong Country 3 Rare 1996
4 Final Fantasy VII Squaresoft 1997
5 Super Mario World 2 Nintendo 1996
6 Banjo-Tooie Rare 1998
7 Pac Man Namco 1980
8 Earthbound Nintendo 1995
9 Monkey Island 2 Lucas Arts 1990
10 Megaman 3 Capcom 1990

Brilliant is the key word. These are all games that I look at with a sense of admiration for what went into them. They are just so well put together and... ingenious. Someday I'll write a more in-depth explanation of why each one has won my heart in its own unique way.
