That list is pretty crappy. It includes a lot of games from the last 3 years, and it clearly includes a meh Final Fantasy title (FF3 on NES is not a great game, although if I understood Japanese it might be better), also TESIV is one of the worst TES games.

This list also does not include many genre defining games, since this is the last 25 years, where are games like Fallout(1 or 2), FF:Tactics(any), Fire Emblem (pick one), Ogre Battle(SNES one), and no Smash Brothers(despite there being 3 mediocre 1on1 fighters).

I could obviously go on all day, but this list is pretty bad.

How can you say this list is missing genre defining games and then question how Street Fighter II, the most influential fighting game ever made the list and a game that defined nothing, the Smash Bros. series, was left out?

Also I love TBS RPGs too, but expecting a top 50 list to contain oodles of them is just rediculous. It's a niche genre that appeals to very few people. You may also notice there are no SHMUPs on that list.

I believe that SF2 deserves to be on the list, but there are more fighters on that list besided SF2.
