https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_considered_the_best

The criteria are that a game must appear on six greatest of all time lists from major publications. The list suggests that gaming was at its peak in the 90s and 2000s and that people were correct in their gut feeling that gaming got worse in the 2010s.

Check the lists they're citing from, though: of 33 outlets, only 8 of those Greatest of All Time lists have been published/updated since 2017. It's only natural that more recent games would have a harder time meeting the criteria. Two of the lists they're pulling from were published in the 90s.

This got me curious and I decided to track down the games that just made the cut here, the ones on exactly 6 lists:
Centipede
Frogger
Tempest
Ghosts N Goblins
Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe (which I've never even heard of)
Flashback
Virtua Racing
Daytona USA
Command & Conquer
Parappa the Rapper
Ultima Online
Dance Dance Revolution
Silent Hill
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Rock Band 2
Valkyria Chronicles
Angry Birds

Not sure if there's anything to be taken away from that, just thought it was neat.

Fair enough. That last point is particularly eyebrow raising.

Were that the case, "Call of Medal of Battlefield Duty Honor Number: Subtitle Number" would be a rock solid entry on the table for every year. Even years before those games existed.
