Default RetroGamer's Top 100 Games Of All Time: Craziest List Ever!

The good lads over at RetroGamer magazine decided to compile this list by getting the customers who read the mag to mail in their list of what they thought the best game of all time was. The criteria was that there was no real criteria, you can pick the game you enjoyed the most or what you thought was the biggest innovator and what came out was one of the most weirdest top 100 lists you'll ever see. However, the list generally covers a lot of classic well known games with one or two of the newest fun games on the market. Adventure games will be listed in red text. Enjoy!
