*goes to compile top 100 list*
it didn't make my top 100 though, but thought it deserved an honorable mention. I've thrown together an excel sheet which i'm going to add games to as I play. It will be interesting to see what it looks like a few years from now.
I still replay through UFO: Enemy Unknown now. I have the underdogs version always in a folder on my USB stick.0 -

I know it's personal opinions but there's a lot there I wouldn't agree with. Here are my opinions.
First of all no mario games but plenty of Sonic. Sonic is by no means bad at all but I feel the mario games are leaps and bounds ahead of them in gameplay.
There's a few games I wouldn't rate at all. Tomb Raider Legend was okay but not a patch on the original and nowhere near as good as any of the new Prince of Persia games which I fell are far superior. Rebuplic Commando was a bit meh for me. It was Rainbow Six but without the awesome. Just Cause was a stinker in my books. Quake 4 was alright but wouldn't get near my list. Quake 3 would be rated higher imo. Max Payne is a game I never got on with, it really bored me. It was the same thing over and over, side jump shoot over and over with some awful dialogue and story. I wouldn't rate Zool either. It was great at the time for the amiga but the console platformers outclassed it. Doom 3 I never liked either. Was too boring and too long for a game with very little variation. I'd also rank Half-Life 1 ahead of 2, I feel it's the better game and no other FPS has yet to better it.
Anyway it's all personal opinion but it's a really good list thats a lot more PC orientated than mine. BTW would I be right in saying that you were a Sega kid since there's a big lack of SNES games there.

I actually preferred the atmosphere and storyline of the PoP games to Tomb Raider Legend. The bickering between the prince and Farah was excellently written unlike the two guys giving you the missions in TR:L and although the atmosphere in TR:L was great in the ruin levels the levels set in High rise and old soviet base were awful and reminded me of similar awful levels in the TR games after the first one. It wasn't a patch on the dream like atmosphere of Sand of Time. PoP also controls much better. I hated the motorbike chases and the boss battles were absolutely atrocious, especially compared to the excellent boss fights in Warrior Within and Two Thrones.
I think that Quake 3 is a much better game than Quake 4 because it just plays a lot better despite not having the fancy Doom 3 engine. The levels are also more varied since the Q3 engine could easily do bigger levels.
I actually found HL1 to be the more varied and diverse game. It was also a much cleverer game in design especially how some of the secrets are discovered.

* slight exaggeration of number, untwist those panties.
yeah but if you look at the majority of those PC games a lot of them where multi platform releases. I could of played PoP on the PS2 or Flatout 2 on the Xbox 360... etc, but as I own a PC I don't need to buy any of those consoles to play the same games. Plus I can play PC exclusives also. A lot of console exclusives don't interest me (although the likes of God of War and shadow of the colossus where games I wish they had ported, at least gears of war is making the conversion to pc
) 0 -

Yeah, I guess so.
Retr0's list just seemed to have a few more older titles that made me think "now THERE was a ****ing game!" before adding it to my list of games that I'll replay. Yours has bubble bobble...
And there are also a hell of a lot more EA games on yours, something that will instantly make me turn my nose up at it like the snobby bastard I am...
In fairness though, yours does have a few more recent titles than Retr0's, and majority of PC fps games that you mentioned are fantastic games.
lol thing is this is my life of gaming. I can't really add any more titles to it if I haven't played them. It was interesting reading the list back to myself, because I had assumed the top would be just FPS (as I do lean towards FPS games over others) but it surprised me how much I weighed different games.
Also EA is just a big bad corporation, don't hate the developers and designers that EA absorbs because they do churn out some pretty damn good games. Plus if things go the way they are the moment every game will eventually be made by EA 0 -

I think some people are missing the point here ...This is L31mr0ds top 100 Favoutite games ....top 100 games he played and liked . Not anyone elses , not what he thinks are the top 100 games ever made .
If I did a list like this it would have mainly online FPS's cause thats what I play ( try and play ) ...my top 100 would also probably only contain about 15 games

If anything both these lists have made me realise I have to devote a lot more time to PC gaming especially some of the classics I've missed. I really must play System Shock 2 and Deus Ex. A personal list will always have a lot of games of the genrethat the person composing it likes. I'm a big JRPG and Shmup fan so my list has a lot of those games while L31mr0d has a load of FPS games because he enjoys them more and plays more of them. I've no western RPGs on my list because they bore the arse off me while some one else would have stuff like KotOR and Baldurs Gate ranking very high.
Still I'd always take a personal list from someone with a lot of gaming experience than one voted by the public or by commitee. Too many games will get ignored that are obscure and didn't reach a wide audience but are deserving of classic status. Games like Panzer Dragoon Saga, Soukyugurentai and Samurai Showdown, absolute masterclasses in their respective genres, would get left off these lists and popular games like GTA San Andreas and Halo 3 will be placing very high due to popularity despite the fact that these games really should be placing low if they even get in at all.
I always like the Eurogamer top 50 at the end of the year, there's always games in the low ranks that you forgot to pick up during the year and may have missed out on. These guys usually know a thing or two about games (although I'll never forgive them for giving R-type Final a better score than Gradius V). I'd really love to see a top 100 by the guy who writes hadcore gaming 101.
Anyway I'll be concentrating on finishing System Shock this weekend and playing through Beyond Good and Evil, a game that I really have left far too long without playing.
On last thing, fair play to you L31mr0d for doing a top 100, I know how hard it is. I'd like to see some other people try it.

Republic Commando is one of my favourite games ever. I love the Star Trek universe and found the team play aspect of this game very easy to get used to. It might of did better if it hadn't been swamped by Battlefront.
I'm sorry, but I have to point out that Republic Commando is Star Wars, as opposed to Star Trek. I'm surprised no one else noticed this. >.>
I recognised a couple of C64 games up there, most notably New Zealand Story, which is the only C64 game I actually played. I have a C64 here with me right now, so I may take it out at some point and play with it
But yeah, I might have to consider compiling my own list at some point, although I at present have no idea how to weight them, although mine would mostly be PC as well, but I'd include other formats too, as by this point, between emulation and actually playing the systems, I've played on a Gameboy (Classic/Colour), Gameboy Advance, DS, Megadrive, SNES, NES, PS, PS2 and C64. I played on a Master System, Atari (god knows what system), C128 (but that may as well go under C64), Amiga 1200 and Atari Lynx too, although there wasn't anything I recall playing on any of them, although with the C128, I imagine any games I played I'd have played on the C64 anyway...0 -
Flatout 2 in your top 5?
I stopped reading there.
I dare anyone to play Flatout 2 and not love it. Its as fun as Outrun, but has a semi realistic physics engine, car damage, excellent graphics and handles really well. I usually boot it up at least 4 or 5 times a week and play it on multiplayer for about an hour.
Can I ask what you don't like about it and also what you would consider a good driving game?
This game has everything i'm looking for in a racing game. It has destruction derbys, races on varying tracks with varying difficulties, cars that require greater skill to drive the faster they get AND it also allows you to eject your driver out the front windshield and skip him across the water like a stone sheer brilliance
