No Zelda? The list is wrong.

what the fuck you lookin at?
I agree pong should be on there. Wolfenstein 3D is the predecessor to DOOM so that's why it isn't on the list.
Ultima basically same as zelda and came out way before.

well to add blake stone came out 3 year before Wolfenstein by the same company that was the first of it type !! and yeah pong should of been on the list, and pac man oh and a star wars one can't remeber the name of it but that change the way that games were made so that should of been on, in my mind the list is a bit wrong in places !! but good topic !!
I'd say they got it pretty right super mario, tetris, wolf-3d and half life were the first titles that came to mind when i saw the heading, its now a question of how long before Wii makes a splash onto that list

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
Wolfenstein 3D is still one of the best games out there.
Grand Theft Auto III? Is that a fucking joke? Since they have Wolfenstein 3D on the list because it spawned games like DOOM and many others, how can they have Grand Theft Auto III and NOT Tony Hawk's Pro Skater? GTA games took their physics straight out of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater...so, without Tony Hawk, there is no GTA style games.
Also, I think that Dragon Warrior shouldn't "just" be a runner-up. It should be on the list. One of the best games ever, IMO. :thumbsup:
PoP? Every 2D action/exploration game since, and then led up to the 3D kind too. Like G_d of War.
Prince of Persia led to Flashback.. flashback led to .. well damn, somebody probably has a chart of the evolution of it all, somewhere. Just look for the evolution of that particular genre.

God of War was the first game that came to mind.
+1 Yup
IGN make some of the worst lists there is imo.
But I agree with a lot of those games. Maybe not Super Mario 64 though, since that's basically just a very good improvement of the earlier PS-platforms.
And I miss Dragon Quest, but that's not really a famous franchise west of Japan so I'm not surprised they didn't include it.

The playstation was hardly instrumental in establishing 3D games as .. actually VIABLE alternatives to gaming. 2D was still in style back then.. but until a certain few games that all arrived at the same time.. 3D platformers didnt exist.
Crash Bandicoot SCEA 08/31/96
Super Mario 64 Nintendo 09/26/96
And starting a full FIVE years after the fact, the birth of the NEXT GENERATION of platformers. The bar is constantly being raised even now.
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy SCEA 12/03/01
Ratchet & Clank SCEA 11/04/02
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Ubisoft 11/06/03
God of War SCEA 03/22/05
With noticed mention of certain games that just wouldnt be the same if someone hadnt shown the world how a proper 3D game should play:
Metal Gear Solid Konami 09/30/98
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Nintendo 11/23/98
Soul Calibur Namco 09/08/99 (Previous 3D fighters being.. what? lol)
Devil May Cry Capcom 10/16/01
