Quake II is #98?? THIS IS A TRAVISHAMOCKERY!!
I suppose it wouldn't be as high as Quake simply given that it wasn't the first Quake, even though its engine, single-player campaign, and multiplayer were all vastly better than Quake I and vastly better than any other game at the time. Half-Life (built on the Q2 engine) didn't come around for another year.
Plus, Quake II was probably the last disc you could put into a CD player and [censored] rock out to. Awesome soundtrack.
Mafia is a pretty solid choice at #85, forgot how much fun that game was.

Quake was truly ground-breaking, whereas Quake II was just more of the same with accelerated graphics and polished multi-player - to be honest I'm a little surprised that Quake II made the list at all.
Also, Half-Life was based on a heavily modified version of the original Quake engine;
GoldSrc.
