For me, the list of significant computer games would be

DOOM - the grand daddy of fps (along with Wolfenstien 3D)
Command & Conquer - started the RTS craze
Super Mario Bros - Say hello to one of the greatest adventure type games of all time
Gran Turismo - re-define the driving game scene and now everybody wants to beat them
Championship Manager - spent countless hours looking at stats and more stats
Madden NFL Football - this is the start of the greatest gaming franchise

others are
IK+
Double Dragon
FIFA Series

BW, yeah but Wofl3d never really made it big besides it was freeware if i dont remember wrong, the fact later on you could buy extra episodes is a different matter, in any case it was doom that really started the whole walk shoot find card open door thing.

Luciel, i'll give you that. I never played DOOM during its original run on the PC so I cant really comment on how significant it really was I played it on the various consoles that the game got ported too. I personally thought it was all hype.

I still think that list at the top sucks. I mean why is Resident Evil there? Resident Evil blatently ripped off the Alone in the Dark games.

[Luciel]

i agree with u BW that this list is crap really...

[Quall999]

I completely forgot about alone in the dark, of course, I haven't played it much.

I really liked phantasmagoria, but it has been years since I played it, probably when it came out. Was really easy though, could almost beat the game in a day. It had actors instead of sprites for characters, so that was something that was popluar back when.

Some might say the top-10 games you or others may list, blatantly ripped off earlier similar games, as ideas tend to be copied.

an as for asking why is 'resident evil' there - the fact it generated 2 big movies when similar games didnt, clearly demonstrates its significance.

ps- i do agree with you about 'elite' - tho oddly no ones voted for it!

Wolfenstein was definately the granddaddy of FPS no doubt about it. Doom came sometime after. As for Doom 3, pah! What is the fuss all about. Absolutely nothing new, If I want only wish to see spectacular graphics, I'll watch a dvd.

Best FPS of all time has got to go to Devastation in my book, the godfather of FPS, though the likes of Pain killer, farcray and Serious Sam, (I know it didn't offer much more than see it shoot it, but what a game) follow closely.

Comanche gold, Delta force, Half life, Vice city, Mafia, saga rally, tetris, Lemmings and Unreal, Sim city and of course The sims.

Devastation!?!?!?!?!? dude... u seriously need a gaming taste, THE AI WAS HORRIBLE and was tottally full of bugs, might have a cool story but thats about it

[TheMuller]

Champ manager series from the amiga days to present. I blame my bunking off school on this. Might consider a law suit against them!! (only kidding) They have given me too much pleasure for me to do that.

Im suprised no-one voted for elite, it was a phenomenal game. Huge game and was the first true space flight sim.

But then again I think most people arent old enough to remember it lol
