I like how they've thrown in a few of "those Yooooro-games" in in a half-arsed way, like when Rolling Stone would always stick a Public Enemy LP in their "greatest records of all time" rundowns amongst all the 70s rock to prove they weren't biased to one genre

Also, anything like this that claims "Pong" is one of the greatest games ever published simply isn't serious

Maybe it was for about three weeks in 1972. There are better games on Cassette 50! (well, their version of Frogger's not bad)

zagrebista.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I get that games age and foundations are built up over a period of years, so for example Space Invaders isn't as good as Galaxians but Space Invaders is still fun, it's still worth a game or two. Pong just... isn't very good.

Yeah I'll still have a blast on Space Invaders or Pac-Man every now and then, same as I can enjoy the lyrical flow of both MF Doom and Roland Rat.

(I'm now wondering if Doom was still living in the UK around the time Rat Rappin' came out, but unfortunately not)

It says "video games" so automatically invalidates itself

Yeah, I saw this, saw the complete lack of Chaos, scrolled to check at least Bubble Bobble was in there, then refused to interact any further with it for the sake of my blood pressure.

The list should just read "Chaos" and that's it.

It's rather AMERICAN. Of course, no other country in the world exists, or has computer games.

Such luminaries as FHM, GQ and Esquire too.

Can we get Sinclair User's opinion on the greatest men's fashion of all time?

And the references are awful too.

Unreadable.

bloggospow.bsky.social•23 hours ago

There were...references...?

gigerpunk.bsky.social•23 hours ago

I'm hearing this in the same incredulous tone as Zangief in The Street Fighter movie.

Apparently. Letters that refer to numbers that referred to other numbers. Bag of shite, as Paul Calf would say.
