If you were trying to sum up the history of video games, what would you put on the list? Here is a cool new video that sums up the “history of video games” in 5 minutes. Though I’m sure that no such list could satisfy everyone’s tastes, I’d say the video did a pretty good job of identifying all of the games that were considerably different than anything put before them (ie they didn’t list Megaman 2 etc). That being said, I am absolutely stunned that Oregon Trail, Zork, Asteriods, and even a few newer games like Portal were omitted from the list.
I’ve played 104 74 of the 144 114 listed. Rather than list the games I have played, here are the games I haven’t:
