No way! ?Zelda? voted best game ever.
 

THis list oughta be a good one... :1orglaugh

*********************************

LOS ANGELES, May 2 ? It has inspired legions of fans and generated hundreds of millions of dollars for its creators, and according to a panel of experts, the ?Legend of Zelda? video game series now ranks as the best of all time.
A PANEL OF WRITERS from Entertainment Weekly and gaming experts from G4, the cable TV games channel, have voted the ?Zelda? series, from Japan?s Nintendo Co. Ltd. to the top of a list of the best 100 video games ever.
The ?Zelda? series is a chronicle of heroic adventures in fantasy lands; the latest game, ?The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker,? features a character named Link who sails the seas searching for his sister and using a magic staff that can summon windstorms.
The list, which appears in the new Entertainment Weekly and will be broken down in a series of nightly specials the week of May 5 on G4, encompasses all genres of games and all systems, from classic arcade machines to today?s game consoles.
Second on the list was the 1993 PC game ?Doom,? from id Software, widely hailed as a revolution in PC gaming both for its graphics and its often-gory violence.
Rounding out the top five were the classic puzzle game ?Tetris,? the criminal adventure games ?Grand Theft Auto III? and ?Grand Theft Auto: Vice City? from Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and ?Madden NFL 2003? from Electronic Arts Inc.
Nintendo and EA combined for 20 of the 100 entries on the list, which comes just days before the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, the video game industry?s annual trade show in Los Angeles.

I liked it but was never in love with it. However, I know that the majority of avid gamers I grew up with would all say Zelda is the best.

No way! Mario's were cooler.
...and duckhunt

my top 3
doom
starcraft
quake

I bought one of the original Legend of Zelda games it was one of the first few made in a gold cartridge


I was in Nintendo power like the third addition I think as one of the first people to beat it

Don't make me get old school.

Nice. :) They have this game at the bar I go to sometimes. My favorite for sure. :)

video games in a bar?

:eek7

omg, river raid. i loved that game 20 years ago

Surely, you jest? Lot's of bars have video games in the pool table areas. The one I'm talking about is Melody's by the airport.

Not here.

I have never seen a video game in a bar.

Back home in New Orleans they have paying video poker macvhines, no Galaga.

Here in Cali, non paying titty showing Poker machines and pool tables, but no Centipede.

If you mean Restaurants, possibly, but not a bar. ;)

I keep my old consoles connected.

I play my NES all the time, last ngiht before I fell out I was throing down on some of this:

The classics never die.

I loved the original zelda on the onld NES.

One of my best summers was 1988. Too young to get a real job, so my life consisted of drivers ed class in the mornings, and playing Zelda in the afternoon.

Ahh yes... good times.

video games in restaurants????? :-o

Dude, I'm in Los Angeles, and grew up in The Valley. I see it alot.

Name a bar for me then man.

I drink in the valley and go to shows all over this state and have never seen one.

I believe you, but I havent seen it.

Name the bar.

its all about mario (then zelda)

either way nintendo is the best!!!
for real!!

Melody's by LAX is the one I'm referring to... right across the street from In N Out on sepulveda. Others... hmmm... The Casting Couch in the pass... if I remember correctly... argh, it's been a couple years since I hit the bars in your neck of the woods. They're out there, though...

Yep, one of my favorite Mexican restaurants has an old tabgle top Pacman.

Another restaurant I go to out in Pasadena has a table top Centipede, but its not just a bar its a family place.

The games are near the entrance. But its not a bar.

hehe... nothing like tosing back a pitcher and $5 of quaters on Galaga. LOL

You said you see it a lot. Thought you could name some bars in the valley? I hang in way more than 4 bars in this part of town and know plenty of clubs and bars, and have never once seen a video game in one man, and i go out ALL THE TIME. ;)

If its some airport bar I dont know, maybe Im talking rock and roll bars, no real pub is gonna have video games dude.

think about it.

;)

I do see it alot, but like any good drunk, the names tend to blur, sometimes. LOL. Watch, soon, you'll pop into a bar and see a video game and be reminded of this thread. lol.

i smell rom

Its a fucking elite game dude.

Oh, Yeah!

Damn, I loved Zelda almost as much as the Mario games, I was so damned happy to get one of the first 100 SNES's to come into this country, I was crazy about it. Funnily enough I brought it back out 2 weeks ago and now the kids are playing it and they think it's great, they play my old SNES over the GameCube and XBox lol

The Legend Of Zelda on the NES almost caused me to fail quite a few tests in school! I loved that game! I beat it with no cheating.

well, I quit palying video games after SegaGenesis, Snes... but Zelda 1 on nes was the best video game I ever played... plus after defeating the final boss... You got another new adventure/game

On the computer, the Monkey Island series was pretty good...

ChronoTrigger on NES was awesome.

Incredible game.

Every single Zelda game in the series (and there's been a lot) absolutely rock.

... but I know they don't appeal to certain l33t playstation boyz.

i actually remember that issue

freaky

Zelda is tha bomb.

There has been only one game series I have been addicted to and that was the Zelda series. One of the best I have played is Zelda Link's awakening and Zelda a link to the past.

I'm even thinking of buying a gamecube now....

Pong - Pong Console
Asteroids - Atari 2600
Adventure - PC
Civilization - PC
Doom - PC
Star Craft - PC

Best game ever is NHL94 on Sega Megadrive :thumbsup
