Interestingly, I was inspired to make this by Colin Cowherd's sports radio talk show. He was trying to decide who the greatest NFL quarterback of all time was, and he had an interesting way of doing so. And I thought that we could do the same here, but with games. And we could see what game this community considers to be the best of all time!
First, we'll narrow it down to 64 best games. We'll discuss it until we have a list we can (more or less) agree on.
Then come the brackets. We'll create 32 match ups (of two games each), and we'll vote on which game is the better between those two. Then, the ones that get the most votes will move up to round two, and so on and so forth, until we're left with one game left. And that will be the one that this community thinks is the best!
When voting, you should vote on all of the match ups at once to make it quicker. And, I might not be able to update this all the time, so if someone else (or some other people) who are on here more often can help keep track of votes and such, that would be a big help. In the event of a tie, we'll decide what to do when it happens.
This should be a lot of fun, and interesting, too, if it works the way I hope it will!
Our top 64 is:

Alright! That looks like a done list to me! Zelda seems to be very popular in this community! It'll be interesting to see if one of them reigns supreme over everything else, or if something else comes in for a surprise victory!
On with the match ups!
