"Is Doom the greatest?"

On Gamespy Arcade, they had a countdown of the Top 50 games of all time. At No.1 was Doom. Do you think Doom is the greatest of all time?

I was surprised that Championship Manager did not make the top ten.

I know that these sort of things should not be taken seriously, but what is your greatest game of all time, any console, computer, anything.

Mine is Championship Manager Series.

The Zelda games from the Gameboy to N64 have to be the best, especially the real time on Majora's Mask

Final Fantasy 7 has to be the best game ever, it totally blew me away, sheer magnificence oozing from its shiny cd interface, breathtaking in all respects.

Hmmmmmmmm your'e right there DJ the amount of time you spend playing a game goes in to account of how good the game is.
I played Zelda a lot
I played Perfect Dark a lot
I played No Mercy a lot
not to mention goldeneye

but i still say Zelda was my all time fav game it was just so addictive (rather like tetris or pokemon)

It's impossible to judge what the best game is of all time - the only way that comes close to doing this is by measuring how much time was spent playing a certain game. This is because technology is ever improving, and with every new game, comes a different way of approaching a certain aspect of life or whatever (except for updates, of course).

Dude you said choose one game and you chose the whole series! lol
Anyway I say that Zelda on the N64 wasmy best game (the first one, Ocarina of Time) or maye Mario Kart that was great too!

Doom was probably the most hyped game of all time, but by now means the 'greatest of all time'.

If we're talking computer/videogames, I'd opt for Final Fantasy VIII (covers many genres apart from RPG) or more recently Metal Gear Solid or Ocarina of Time, all for different reasons.

What makes a game good is not that it was the 'first to do it', but that it has lasting appeal. Since the arrival of Quake and Half Life, Doom has been gathering dust, and although it has a following still it is only a core minority compared to the complete communities built up around the former two games.

If we're talking ANY game, then Chess.

My greatest console is the N64
My greatest game is Conkers Bad Fur Day.

i think they're mainly PC gamers who picked out the list, but although doom is a classic i still dunno about number 1 game of all time.
