I stopped at half-life. Look Half-life didn't influence anything at all, at least not yet. Half Life is just another Wolfenstein 3D Clone with a better story layout.
Oh, and Tomb Raider isn't the first Third Person adventure/shooter whatever...
These guys reaally need to justify their jobs sometimes:)
Of course the number 1 game of all times is the one I made yesterday bla bla bla... This ain't the subject folks. We need the 15 games which made our gaming world the way it's right now.
I haven't read anything on UK Gamespot site, so let's see hows my conception of this differs from theirs. Further, I'm putting in numbers, some games you just can compare them to anything.
Wolfenstein 3D: Everybody, I think, will agree with that: no Wolfie no doomie, no quakie, no unreal no anything... Well, maybe, but Wolfenstein is one of the first succesfull First Person Shooter.
Dune: I'm not even thinking with this one.
Civilization: Same as above.
Ultima Online: I'm not a freak of this game, but hey it got some style other games don't.
Populous: All I remember from this game is incredible amount of sales it generated for it's time.
King Quest: That's the reason why i'm a geek.
Spy Hunter: That's an old one.
Prince of Persia: The game deserves the spot.
Homeworld: This is too ground braking.
Myst: I'm not stating any reasons.
Test Drive: That's the first driving game I've played.
Gato: ha ha remember this one, I played this classic submarine game on my XT.
Sim City: I think every single "sim" game comes from this one.
X-Com: for the merc turn based genre, I think this is the first one.
Flight Simulator: I played that on my commodor 64 back then.
I think that's it, now let's see that gamespot article...
In fact, I think "Dark City" should get a lot more attention from everybody. As far as I'm concerned, this movie is the BEST sci-fi movie made in nearly 20 years.
I'm not comparing it to anything else, not even the first Star Wars movies. The movie was plainly just crap. That's it. And by the amount of money Prequel 1 did, you can be sure that Prequel 2 will be crap too, because that's what most Hollywood producers want: "Money".
Oh, and usually, they want the cool chick to show up approx. 15 minutes from the beginning of the movie, but that's another story.:)
Why even bother with the second prequel, the first was one of the worst sci-fi movies I've ever seen. There is no way I'm going to spend another 10$ on marketing crap like that.
If you're really a Star Wars fan you'll keep that 10$ of yours and spend it on something else like the next LOTR movie.
Slashdot Mirror
Today most text games are gone, just like the pacman and DK genre. So even if they're classic games, they haven't influenced today's games a lot.
Cheers
