The Essential 50
« on: December 28, 2004, 06:50:30 PM »
I read through a bunch of these today during a slow afternoon at work. It's a list of the 50 most "important" video games, and for the most part I agree with their opinions. Each game gets a pretty long description, so it's perfect for time-wasting. :)

Yup, this is good for time-wasting. I saw a lot of theses games get mentioned on the History Channel's special on video game history.

It makes me wish there were video game history classes in college where you were required to play classic games as homework. Better yet, there should be a video game history major.

If they do that there needs to be a test you take before going through the course to see if you can already get your degree!
