Mario Kart 64?
Goldeneye?
Contra?

I can't believe how many people think Mario Kart 64 is a phenomenal game. It is absolutely nowhere remotely close to being one of the top ten games ever. When it first came out it was a big disappointment...Super Mario Kart was much better. Over time, MK64's multi-player mode has become classic, but IMO it's mostly just because of the battle mode. The actual racing blows because of mediocre track design and cheating AI.

Single player is average at best.

I see your points. I'm a big fan because multi-player is primarily what I do w/ video games. So take that for whatever it's worth.

Hahaha. That video is hilarious. That was a great game too but not close to top 10.

I think one of the early Madden's should be on there. Sure the franchise might not be what it once was, but it became huge, and continues to pump out new ones every year. It didn't become big just because of the name...it was the gameplay.

I might be thinking of one of the sequels. In fact, I think it's likely I never played this one.

That ten worst list is reasonable, going on the assumption that we are talking about American releases (good god some of the early NES games in Japan were terrible. Never mind all of the bootleg games.) Zero Wing should not be on there, though -- it's a standard late 80s horizintal shooter with amazing Engrish, but that does not make it one of the worst games ever. (Bubsy 3D is, though. One of the two games I have ever played that gave me motion sickness.)

That top ten list sucks, though. Zelda:OoT is reasonable (although I wouldn't put it #1), and so are SF and Tetris (I would be using different versions of those games, though). RE4 and Halo I'm not thriled with either, but I can at least see an argument that we'll still be talking about those games two console generations from now. But Metal Gear Solid, FFVII, and Tecmo Super Bowl? Ugh. (I also hate it how many people talk about Tecmo Super Bowl (which was an SNES game) when they're really talking about the original Tecmo Bowl (the original NES game). Gah.) And where the hell is Deus Ex? That is pretty much the best game ever made, and it doesn't even get a mention. If I had to perform an emergency operation on this list, I would replace those three games with Deus Ex, Planescape: Torment (which is the best RPG ever made), and one of Doom or Quake (normally they shouldn't be up there with the other games, but they really manage to trandscend themselves somehow).

I would also give a special mention to Takeshi's Challenge as the best 'good bad' game ever. I do not know what is more amusing -- the fact that such a patently absurd game was made in the mid 80s or the fact that the statements the game and the author makes are still revelant today, twenty years later.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Read the top read strip of the box. It says "Nintendo Entertainment System".
