I think this list tried to sound like: "Hey, look how cool we are for showing off this old-ass games instead of newer ones"
However, they missed the whole RTS genre and some classics. Say whatever you will, but whenever you come up with a top games of all time list, you must include these titles:
FPS: Doom, Quake, Half-Life
MMORPG: Ultima Online, World of Warcraft
RTS: Starcraft
RPG: Diablo, your favorite Ultima, NetHack
Specifically, I find it unforgivable to miss Quake and Starcraft. Quake basically defined the initial 3D FPS genre, made the concept of game mods much more relevant and was generally responsible for kickstarting multiplayer over the internet in FPS games. Hell, a lot of titles still have a console where you can type "bind x action" and stick to the +attack, -attack, etc, syntax.
im surprised you mention for mmorpg's ultima online and world of warcraft but omit everquest...
and rts games you only mention starcraft...what about warcraft 1 and 2? or how bout dune...great rts...:-)....those are must to include...
bad as everquest was it was a major player till wow came out...hell it sucked 4 years out of my life:-\...
and quake doom half-life yet you forget duke nukem:-P...
just my 2 cents:-P
