I'd like to start the discussion about what people reckon are the greatest games of all time in various styles. The ones i can think of at the moment are:-

1. Beat 'em ups
2. First person shooters
3. Platformers
4. RPG's
5. Sport
6. Puzzle
7. Point and click

If you can think of any more types of games feel free to add to the list.

Well anyway here are my favourite games for each style.

1. Street Fighter {all of em, there's too many to single one out}
2. Half-Life
3. Mario 64
4. Zelda 64
5. Speedball 2
6. Tetris on Gameboy
7. Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis

Please add your list of favourite games below!

Get some perspective kids! Here are my votes for some of the greatest games in each genre.

1. Beat 'em up - Super Street Fighter 2 [Nothing touches it on the SNES]
2. FPS - Half-Life (single player) - Action Quake II (multi)
3. Platform - Mario 64 [Mario taken to the limit of perfection - til next time]
4. RPG - Final Fantasy [I'd have to agree as their not my thing]
5. Sport - Sensible World of Soccer [one word... PLAYABILITY]
6. Puzzle - Solitaire [best time waster in history]
7. Point-n-click - Secret of Monkey Island [never laughed at a game before and rarely since!]
