Amiga game makes top 10 of all time

[Harrison]

Did it start out on the C64? I thought it was much earlier than that?

If this top 10 was most influentual games than the original Halo should definitely be there and not the third. And where are the platform games that revolutionised the genre? Mario, Sonic? And for online multiplayer gaming you have to say Quake 3 played a huge role in moving gaming online. All proceeding games, even MMOs like WoW owe it to Q3 to get online multiplayer gaming popular.

I've just checked on Wiki and tetris was created in 1985 for the Elektronika 60 and then ported to the PC.
As for the influential thing i was only giving a theory as to why Tetris for the gameboy was there.

The C64 was released 1982 in the US and 1983 in Germany.

The C64 was released 1982 in the US and 1983 in Germany.

But the year a platform is releases isn't always indicative of what a game is released for it, or if it originated on it. So often Amiga and ST games were ported to the C64, CPC and Spectrum late in their lives for example.

I was sure it was a Russian platform that Tetris was first developed and released on so there we go. Even if it was a rack mounted mainframe.

I have the feeling that a large percentage of the demographic of Game that would have voted for that pole would have been too young to really know the whole spectrum of gaming right from the beginning. For me you cannot state that such a top 10 is of the greatest games of all time because you could only do that if everyone voting had the experience and knowledge of the whole of the games industries history.
