As I said then, there is no real argument for Sonic 1 over Sonic 2 other than it was first. DQ3 was more influential than DQ1. Being first doesn't mean you're the most important or the bigger game.

GTA is a more difficult debate because 3 and SA both have good arguments for inclusion here. San Andreas was a bigger deal though, and I think that matters. This isn't just "what was most influential" to me. This is "what games were the biggest back then."

I mean no, there are plenty of arguments for Sonic 1 over Sonic 2, not least of all the fact that it outsold it by a ratio of about three to one. It was bundled with the console, it was the one with the huge cultural impact. I just didnt feel like raising them!
