Here's the top 100 list based on y'alls responses. Any ties were reconciled by Google Sheets randomly assigning an order. More than anything, y'all really love you some Zelda.

Tears of the Kingdom
Ocarina of Time
Breath of the Wild

---

Fixed for post - May 12.

Planetside / Planetside 2
DOOM
Duke Nukem 3d
Tribes / Tribes 2
Starcraft / SC2
Grand Turismo of any flavor
Battlefield 2142
Unreal tournament - or any of the unreal games

This list has me disappointed

This is starting to sound like my wedding, where any plans of keeping it below 100 went out the window when I realized we had 72 "you gotta invite Aunt Gail" obligation picks. I feel like GQ (consciously or not) tried to keep it to a handful of RTS games, a handful of shooters, a handful of Marios and Zeldas but not too many, etc.

Other than a few weird obscure indie games, I think they did pretty good. Otherwise 10% of your list is Doom, Quake, Unreal, Duke Nukem, GoldenEye, etc. and you don't have room for the newer Dooms, Halo, Halo 3, etc... all of which are probably a lot more fun to play.

It's just funny going through those lists sometimes... ain't nobody playing Ultima from 1992 and saying it's top-100 in 2023, other than for legitimacy points.

I'd be interested in the unweighted results too

Here's all the ones that got more than 1 vote in descending order. The weight definitely had an impact on many of the solo votes, particularly if it hit someone's top 3

Ocarina of Time
NCAA Football
Breath of the Wild
Bioshock
Goldeneye
Last of Us
Mass Effect 2
Super Mario World
GTA V
Final Fantasy 7
Skyrim
Legend of Zelda
Metroid Prime
Bloodborne
Super Mario 64
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Star Wars Battlefront II
Witcher 3
A Link to the Past
Super Mario Bros
World of Warcraft
Street Fighter II
Halo 3
Final Fantasy X
Modern Warfare 2
Minecraft
Halo
Pokemon Red/Blue
Super Metroid

But Ultima from 1992 was awesome! It's definitely on my list. That list I never get around to making.

Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. Any list lacking those is invalidated

This is sort of like saying all meals are the same because they're all food.
