10 most important video games of all time
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/12/ar...prod=permalink
Quote:
I never played SimCity and have never heard of Sensible World of Soccer. Super Mario Bros. as the archetypal "fun" scrolling adventure game. Doom as the first (?) 3D first person shooter. Civ as an important strategy/building game. No Atari games that I played as a kid? Defender, combat, etc.? No cyberball? |

The fact that "Oregon Trail" was left off is very startling.
In junior high I used to play a text based basketball game. yes you heard that right. It was actuall very fast paced and fun. |

There's a five part series on Discovery right now about the history of video games. Pretty good stuff.
