Yeah pacman and pong were seminal but so was elite on the BBC, and Populous which I think was on the spectrum. Also unreal tournament, silent hill, vice city, homeworld, doom 2016, beam ng, I enjoyed em all but I can’t decide. Ppl here have done much more gaming than me, I’m wondering what you all think is the best game ever. Age, platform, genre, bla bla - what’s best ever?

I felt much the same about vice city. Changed my understanding of what games could be.

I’m going to contradict myself a little, because Vice City is the better game. It’s got an actual story, a great voice cast, helicopter gunships, and the finest soundtrack of any game ever made.

But it was very much built on GTA3. The mind was already blown. It wasn’t going to happen again.

Yeah that’s fair, I never got to play GTA3 so vice city was my mind-blown moment.
