Though it's PC specific there are a few multiplatform games in there but obvioulsy console exclusives will not show up.
Great list there. Also like how it's a list of important games, not necessarily the best.

im sure nobody will agree with it, but im still right
Fair play to you for trying to come up with a list..even if people don't agree, it takes a load of effort.
However, whoever put Rock n' Roll Racing in that list should be shot
Awful racing game where they just decided last minute to tack on a gimmicky soundtrack when they realized how boring the game was.
Also, you've got Puzzle Bobble down as 'arcade' But then you have Mortal Kombat 2 down as 'snes'.
If you're including arcade hardware, then Mortal Kombat 2 should be arcade and not Snes as obviously the arcade version is far better than any home ports.
Actually you could also say the same about some of your Dreamcast games too like Crazy Taxi.0 -

Not in my opinion. Something like goldeneye might have been very important to the medium but it's a bit of a dog to play now. It deserve to be written about in how important it was but celebrated as one of the best ever, in my opinion it needs to be a good game to get that accolade.
The dreamcast actually improved on most of it's arcade ports so it's fair to include it but definitely MK2 arcade is better than the SNES port. In my opinion MK2 should be nowhere near that list considering far far better beat'em ups like Garou Mark of the Wolves, MvsC 2, SF3 Third Strike, Samurai Showdown 2 etc. are left off it.
I see Daniels influence in that list Helix with Outcast making it
EDF 2017 is a great game as well but the second in the series Global Defence Force on the PS2 is much better. It is the same type of game with 4 times the weapons, twice the amount of levels, 3 times the amount of different enemies and more bosses and a second playable character with a jetpack and her own weapons that changes how the game is played and makes it even more fun.
Any way I'm nit picking, not a bad list.

format is based on personal experience for format most played. im not gonna put crazy taxi down for arcade when ive never played it in the arcade, for example.
like any list, its personal preference, so rnrr goes in there0 -

In my defense, you did say 'we're in the process of a top 100 at the moment'.
I thought that 'we're' meant a group of people (ruling out personal preference and being more objective) and not in fact the Queen's 'we' 0 -

More people rarely means more objectivity, just that the more radical choices get pushed downwards by popular consensus.0 -

Tends to be the problem with these lists. It's impossible to have people that have played every game imagineable. There's a few games I have played that I would consider some of the greatest of all time but so few people have played them that you never see them on these types of lists. You'll get obscure games totally left out for less deserving popular titles. It's why I prefer lists from single individuals who I respect the opinion of and explain their reasoning or a groupof people that would know a lot about games. It's still not perfect. You'll get american lists with home micro's completely ignored and most lists never give the PC it's due.
