Top 20 video games that changed the world.

I don't see how newer games could top classics on this list... Like, Pacman, of those games, should have been on the top just because it was the first to blaze the video game trail... At least, of those. I don't know, but this seems like a pretty dispicable list

True some classics should be up on top, but it also depends on how much games changed. Newer games could have 'changed the world' more than classic ones.
 
To add fuel to the fire on World of Warcraft being influential, Time released its 100 Most Influential People list.

The latest issue of Time Magazine listed Rob Pardo, WOW's VP and Lead Designer, in the top 100 most influential people in the world. He's recognized alongside Hillary Clinton, GHW Bush, and many other great minds.

I think since a lot of you don't play WoW, you don't realize just how influential that game really is.

It's what I do.


Seriously. When we're bored...we go out to the range and will blow stuff up just to see the effect certain amounts of explosives have on different material.

One time we blew up a port-a-potty. Just to see how much explosive it would take to pierce the material. We thought it was cleaned out. Keyword: thought.

I made some 29 year old kid from my unit clean up the mess. Just to show him who's boss.

You should have Mortal Kombat. That changed the gaming world more then Tekken and Street Fighter
 
I agree. It seems this list is of games that are making alot of cash, NOT the ones that changed things.

I played EQ (Everquest) for 5-6 years, and even though it may have less people then WoW, it changed the entire MMORPG scene.
 
World of Warcraft is awful.

This list was made to satiate raving fanboys and lacks merit.

I believe SUPER MARIO BROS. for original Nintendo should hold #1, for bringing millions of non-gamers into the fold with its neat visuals, solid side-scrolling action pioneered by PITFALL, and a replay value second to none... All with the simplistic ease of a two button control scheme.

GTAIII should be #2.
 
Games that absolutley should be on that list:

- Legend of Zelda: OoT
- Deus Ex
- Donkey Kong
- Super Mario Brothers
- EverQuest

And I think in a few years, Spider-Man 2 will derserve a spot in the high-teens, simply because so many superhero games will be based on the standard that it set.

But it did change the world for fighting games, no matter what you consider the game to be like.

BTW, Nur might kill you now for saying that. :lol:

It didn't change the gaming world that much.

Street fighter made 2d fighting what it is.

Tekken did the same for 3d fighters.

I admit I love mortal kombat always have but IMO it has not done that much for games
 
GTAIII was good but I don't think it should get in the top 10 especially since the 3D free roaming thing was put on the map with MARIO 64. Nintendogs, meh. I guess WoW could be number one 8 million copies, Jesus! Whoever said FF7 should be on there gets a nod from me, because without that game I would have never touched an RPG. Ever. And it's still my favorite one. Yea, and I know somebody already said this, but Zelda was the first saveable platform game. So it should get some props. And F Wolfenstein, Doom pwns that. I still don't think it should be on the list though.


Or Halo 2. Maybe Halo 1, maybe.
