Let's Name The Top 50 Legacy Platform Games of All-Time

We've done Nintendo consoles, we've done Sega consoles. I'm sure someone will also start Playstation and Atari threads. But we need to name the top 50 Legacy Platform games of all-time, period. Same rules as before: One entry per post. Please wait to add another entry until at least two other posts have been made. Let's also add, since this is multiplatform, please list the system the game appearaed on.

So let's do this.

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)

2. Final Fantasy I (NES)

does this list include PC and MS-DOS games?ohthemanatee

I would consider them Legacy, as well as old Mac, Apple, and Commodore games.

I love you :D

though personally I like NWN 2: Mask of the Betrayer better....but I still love you

NWN came out in 2002, should it really be considered a Legacy game?:?

Yes, but it wasreleased on a legacy system, the PS2, while Neverwinter Nights is a PC game that runs on Windows.

I would consider games made for DOS (or anything before that) as legacy PC games. Actually, I think it'd be best if we didn't include legacy PC games at all in this list.

and why shouldn't the game count because it's on the PC?

and why shouldn't the game count because it's on the PC?ohthemanatee

Because it runs on Windows, and Windows is NOT a legacy platform. (regardless of the Windows version, they're essentially still the same system)

So, by your logic, it would be perfectly fine to add Crysis to that list?

and what defines a legacy platform?

and what defines a legacy platform?ohthemanatee

Basically, a legacy platform is an outdated system that either:

1) Is no longer in production or;

2) Has been superseded by a more advanced system (an example would be the PS2, it's still in production, but has been superseded by the PS3)

Usually, Windows PC games (regardless of Windows version) are NOT considered legacy. Legacy PC games would be the ones that ran on old IBM PCs, DOS, etc.

Read my post carefully. Despite being a different Windows version, it's still essentially the same system. Windows games are NOT considered legacy PC games.

I wish Emerald_Warrior would respond. Putting a game like Neverwinter Nights in that list is cheating.

fine then.

In that case seperate them by Direct X

Whatever, just wait for a response from Emerald_Warrior. At any rate, I'll add this game before it's too late:

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)

15. Grandia (Saturn/PSX)

16: Xenogears (PSX)

17. God of War (PS2)

I don't see how putting a PC game in this list is cheating. I started the thread, and nowhere in the rules did I state that PC didn't count. I consider any game that's not from this generation, PC or not, a legacy platform game. Neverwinter Nights came out in 2002, when PS2 & XBox were the main console platforms. I would say anything released 2006 or higher on PC would be considered this generation.

We would be doing a gaming a disrespect by not including PC, or Mac, or Apple, or Commodore.

I'm fine with putting in PC games, but Windows games usually aren't considered "legacy". But if you say so...

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)

2. Final Fantasy I (NES)

3. Star Control 2 (MS-DOS/3DO)

So games like Descent, Diablo, and Doom shouldn't be considered Legacy then because it's Windows-based?
