Shenmue, probably the greatest game in the world... Ever! [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US-lyfBSK9I"]Shenmue Trailer - YouTube[/ame]
D&D is an absolutely amazing game but it's the players and the DM that really make the game worth playing rather than the rules themselves. So I couldn't count it as a best game of all time candidate for that reason.
All right fair enough Lemon, then I gotta go with Dungeons and dragons online, its totally free and totally awesome, check me out there my charicter is a female elf named Alcoholica level 18 fighter.
Yep It would get my vote for best game ever, too I would also add Pokemon red/blue, Star Wars KoTOR 1 & 2 to the list
I did consider games like Oblivion, KOTOR, and Half-Life 2 (among many others), truth be told. But I couldn't be bothered with a list bigger than twenty. Besides, I'm right. So there.
I nearly did but then I saw Halo. The original Halo was a masterpiece that simply has not been matched to this day.
Ok but guys, dwarf fortress. Look at these graphics! This comic captures the experience. http://dwarffortresswiki.org/images/4/40/FunComic.png
