I know Ocarina is more acclaimed than Super Mario 64 (and not by an awful lot), but wouldn't the latter have wins in both popularity and influence?

Post subject:  Re: Greatest Video Games By Year

I don't know about acclaim, yes, Super Mario 64 is v acclaimed but Ocarina of Time is kinda Citizen Kane of gaming. Ocarina is also cited as inspiration by a plenty of game developers, so I don't think gap in influence is particulary big even if Mario was first.

I would have Pro Skater and Rayman.

I agree, I thought we kind of agreed that Rayman was the "unofficial" 11th slot of that year since we took it off the top ten.

OOT is an extremely influential game on its own. Lock on targeting, automatic jumping, traveling by horseback, context-sensitive buttons, etc. SM64 is easily more innovative and was more directly copied, but I can't say that is doesn't demolish OOT in influence.

Man, Sherick, and BooBoo - are you creating your own lists, or do we want to work off Tim's list of 25 entries?? I have some thoughts but I want to see everyone's lists first.
