I prefer Super Mario 3. But the original is still the most important and influential without a doubt. I agree with Tetris as well, probably the most perfectly designed game ever made. Both are still timeless. I was never into Civilization so I can't understand how that got #3. Ocarina of Time should've been #3. At least it's top 5.
Overall I think this list is OK, but there are a couple glaring holes: (1) Street Fighter 2 - hard to believe that no fighters crack the top 20 (2) No sports/racing games in the top 20 Really these games are a matter of opinion, and everyone has their own opinion, but I can't fathom how Resident Evil 4 could rate above Street Fighter 2 (pick an iteration) in any list of best/most significant/most influential games of all time...

Wow, I'm pleased to see FFVI winning out against FFVII. The game was just better all around and I think has the best characters and story out of the entire series. Even though it's in 2D it was probably the most engaging Final Fantasy experience I ever had.
