Should change Guitar Hero for Final Fantasy III(VI)
Not a fan of M-Rated games?
It's a great list, but there sure is a lot of happy adventure stuff. If you like Tetris then you should play the underrated The New Tetris on Nintendo 64. It's my favorite version of Tetris. I was happy to see Yoshi's Island and Pokemon Blue/Red/Yellow on the list!

I'm an old school gamer, but I'm still hip. Wait, when referring to oneself as, "Hip", does it reverse its meaning?
This is a ok list, but IMO
This is a ok list, but IMO it would have been better if you could provide some insight for why you should play these games.

yup, it would be interesting
yup, it would be interesting to understand why you think those games are invaluable to our collective gaming experience =)
oh, and jeeeeezas christ, you sure are a fan of platform games, and action adventure. nice to see the offshoot here and there, but most games were from the same genre. how 'bout a lil' diversity? didn't see racing games (except for Mario Kart :P), FPS... the list goes on :P
I like ppl advising me to play great games, some hidden pearl of gaming that is pure genius, but no one actually played (like Undying for PC, for instance), but I also like some diversity in my pickings... u know, just so I don't get bored :P
and last but not least... what's with all the uber-lists? O_o in two days times I've at least huge ass lists. not that they're necessarily a bad thing, but aren't top ten's enough these days? jeez :P
Super Mario Bros. 1?
You don't think playing SMB1 is important?
or even
or even Super Smash Bros on N64!
Hmmm..
Too much missing and there's also to much that shouldn't be there like Guitar Hero...WTF? As I play real guitar (You know that thing made before Guitar Hero) I think that I could survive without playing it.
I have played 46 of those!

Look, I could going on and listing shit, but theres so, soooo much stuff that deserves to be on such a list, but you only had 75 games to do it. Not that it's a bad list; but I would of taken out a couple like Wario Ware, LostWinds, and such, but anyway, if you were to make such a list it would have to be out of 1000, or even 10,000 (may be pushing it), it dosen't nessarily have to be the best games just games that have made an impact, or stood out. Not that i don't like the list, i give congrats because it's a hard list to make (esp. out of 75, but there is so many games out that are amazingly great.
