The Three Greatest Video Games of All Time
Here's the list, in order with greatest at the top:
- Escape Velocity - Although the newer versions of this game have not shown much innovation, the original created possibilities that had never previously existed in video games. Escape Velocity let you decide your own fate; there was no set plot line to follow. The graphics are unimpressive; the sound is depressing. Yet this game (released in May 1996) proved to be the most addictive one ever for anyone with a little patience, a home-made cheat sheet, and a 68040 or PowerPC Macintosh computer. Hmmm, unfortunately, most of my friends don't have any of these. ;)
- Ice Hockey - There has been much ado about the upcoming movie Miracle. However, this game gives you the opportunity to live out the battle on ice between the Americans and the Russians. This game is famous for letting you specify the weight class of each team member, for having you control both a goalie and a player with a single directional pad, and for showing you Zamboni's with a catchy tune between periods.
- Super Mario Bros. 3 - I consider this to be the first modern video game. It combined many smaller elements into the bigger picture and was even featured as the "surprise" game in a motion picture (what was that called?).
