Elite. In terms of scope and content for the time it dwarfs anything else IMHO.

Given that one of the above posters had never heard of Lemmings I think we may be Veteran Gamers.

The chances are Elite has never been played by most on these forums.

First Open Ended Story I believe

Ah, we can't help being more knowledgeable I guess... this is just like seeing lists for films and music that don't go back further than 4 or 5 years.

Scary to think the time I put into actually getting to Elite!

Sorry guys. The list wasn't supposed to be a short list, more like some names to get people thinking. I agree that Elite was arguably the most influential British game (I never played it, but I did sit through hours of my friend playing it!), I just thought very few people would have heard of it - sad but true. I'm more shocked that some people haven't heard of Lemmings given that that game has been ported and sequel-ed a lot.

For me it's a toss up between GTAIV, Perfect Dark and Worms, but I'll say Perfect Dark takes it. I've yet to play Arkham Asylum though.

bully?

Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6). This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

I'd say Ultima IV is the greatest Lord British game ever.
