Hello, Sydlexia forums. You have 10 minutes. In 10 minutes, I will erupt into a blind rage and proceed to throw every object within arm's reach at my screen. Now, I'm no computer genius, but I'm pretty sure that when super charged by indescribable amounts of hatred an rage, these objects very well may fly through my screen, into the internet, and out of yours. There's a large chance some of these objects may be sharp, so please avoid your screen at all costs in 10 minutes. 8 and a half now, actually. if, somehow, you manage to get yourself hit, do not blame me, blame the omitting of Ocarina of Time from this list. Goodbye.

Yeah I guess he is missing a few key titles... maybe he should of changed the name of his article from "100 best games of all time" to "My 100 favorite games of all time"

To this day I don't know what makes Chrono Trigger or Zelda so special.

Maybe because you're an idiot??

Seriously, I would assume it's due to your age. Those games blew minds when they came out. I can still play either to this day all the way through and enjoy every second of it. most of the people making these lists are twenty somethings who have great memories of said games.

well since it's all subjective, wouldn't that be the case for every top XX list?

I'm nineteen. >_>

I played CT when I randomly rented it, thought it was cool, but I got bored after ten minutes. As I said, I am no JRPG person, the whole system behind most of them just don't intrigue me at all.

You know, I still don't get the "greatest" thing for Link to the Past, or any Zelda game for that matter(I think the best hands-down was Wind Waker, though just my opinion). It seems like they made a 2d Zelda and a 3d Zelda and just re-made both a million times over time (with the exception being Zelda 2). They're solid and probably inspired a lot of people, but it just felt like I've been playing the same thing for about 20 years now.

And again, it just feels like another list of a guy who just copy-pasted every other list made by a guy who never played a PC, TG16, Master System, etc. (or anything not made by Nintendo before the Playstation), then replaced a few titles with some new ones, changed the order, and wrote new entries.

Can we just stop the list bullshit? It's a fad that's getting way too old.

I love lists, but that's just me.

I do find the exclusion of Ocarina of Time odd, but I'm more offended by the fact that there aren't any N64 games at all. Super Mario 64 was a revolutionary game. It changed platforming forever, more so than Galaxy did. Galaxy expanded upon that formula, but it was SM64 that broke new ground.

And they have Star Fox for SNES but not Star Fox 64? Even I, the guy who is super nostalgic for the former believes the latter to be a superior game, and it's exclusion from any game list is just laughable.

Also, Goldeneye was Halo before Halo. Not including that is just being stubborn uninformed.
