| Jaicee said: If we're picking a Game of the Decade based on which title had the most cultural impact, I think the only honest answer is the original Super Mario Bros. Wouldn't have been a Super Mario Bros. 3 (the candidate currently leading in our poll) without it, and for that matter console gaming itself may never have recovered from the doldrums of the early '80s either for that matter without it. It also sold more than twice as many copies as Super Mario Bros. 3. But if instead we're just picking our favorite game from the '80s -- which is what it looks like people are actually doing (i.e. picking Super Mario Bros. 3 because it was more fun to play) -- then in that case I have a definite three '80s faves. They are: None are nominated and there is no "other" option in this poll. |
I considered choosing 'most impactful' then realized if the question was 'game of the decade for 2010's' I wouldn't care about how 'impactful' something was, I'd just choose the game I thought was the best. So that's what I did.
Also, the nominees were all selected by the previous 'game of the year' threads which is why I assume there's no 'other'.
