NES classic takes No.1 spot in consumer-voted ‘best games in history’ poll
Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros has come out on top in a new poll of the greatest games of all time.
The list was voted for by over 2,000 gamers through onepoll.com.
‘Old skool’ titles such as Pac Man, Donkey Kong and Frogger did particularly well in the list.
John Sewell, spokesman for www.onepoll.com, said: "Games which were invented years ago, like Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, Super Mario and Pac Man all appear in the top ten.
"This shows that classic games will live on forever in the hearts of computer game fans.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Crappy list
So they picked 2,000 'gamers' that have no real idea of modern games, many of which are clearly Wii fanatics, to do a website poll, and this is news?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Crappy list
Where have they come up with this list??
Final Fantasy and Street Fighter definetly should be in the top 10 at least!!!!
Inaccurate Poll
This poll is hardly accurate either. Statistictly speaking I would call this poll BS. With a sample that is hardly accurate. Also last time I checked frogger was nice fun not one of the greates games ever. Its obvious this poll was not by gamers espicaly when you can check out gamefaqs and their polls seem to be far more accurate than this one. go check one of their old polls about best video game ever and then write a list.
Re: Inaccurate Poll
Poor poor list too many classics missing
Re: Re: Inaccurate Poll
Now being a Wii fan you expect me to say that i like this list...but i've played Wii Play and it definately should be even in the top 100...it really is so ****...much like this list really
Re: Re: Re: Inaccurate Poll
This is industry site, and although it's clear the people who responded to this poll aren't 'hardcore' gamers, they are gamers all the same and your potential customers!
Saying MGS4 is better than Wii Play is like saying washing machines are better than fridges. I can't believe all 15 people who have posted comments have completely missed the point of this story.
