In the 200th issue of Game Informer, they suggested the following games were the greatest ever made. My ambition is to play every game on the list. Can I do it? (spoiler alert: probably not! that's a lot of games!)
How many have you played? Do you agree with the list or disagree? Comment and let me know.

The greatest game of all time? It probably was back when it came out, but is likely here more because of its influence than its staying power. I remember as a kid playing it and struggling to figure out where all the hidden places were, just cutting down every tree and throwing bombs at every wall. It's amazing to consider how deep this game is when most NES titles were more like Bad Dudes.
I'm ashamed to say I didn't actually finish this game until the Super Mario All-Stars version, where you can save your progress, but I still liked it a lot. I struggled to find the self-restraint to avoid warping and play through every level, but man is it hard when you know where they're at.
I probably wouldn't sit down and play Tetris today, but back when I first got my Game Boy in around 1990 I couldn't get enough of it. One of my proudest ever gaming moments was completing it on the fastest speed with the highest level of preformed blocks, and saw the whole orchestra and rocket blasting off.
I'd fallen out of gaming a bit during the PS2 era, but I did manage to pick this one up. I was a fan of the first GTA on the PC, but never would have expected the series to get this good. This was the game I'd been dreaming of when I was a kid playing NES: a game that combines all different kinds of gameplay into one huge narrative.
Haven't played it.
When I got my first PC I mostly played Shareware games, and I remember playing the hell out of the first level of Doom. I think it ended up being one of the first PC games I actually purchased. I briefly considered making my own levels but almost immediately realized I was not capable of it.
Though I love many of Metroid's descendants (like Super Metroid, Dust, Shadow Complex, Symphony of the Night) I ended up losing patience with the original. If I'd played it when it was new, I'm sure I would have gotten months of enjoyment from it, but playing it now, after playing many of its successors, it's more of a chore than a good time.
Haven't played it.
Obligatory reference to the Wizard! Meanwhile, yes this is one of the greatest ever, even if I could never have the patience to go back nowadays and play a game like this without being able to save. Maybe I'll play the Super Mario All-Stars version.
I guess this is a great game? I'm not huge into Pac-Man.
