Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

-----------------

Video Game-rules: Has to be a real video game that got a "wide" release (you know, people could actually play it easily at some point in history). No multi-carts like Mario/Duck Hunt or compilations like the Orange Box, just to keep things fair. I can't think of any other notable exceptions here but if someone is voting for some absolutely wild shit I'll come in and say something.

I will NOT be combining multiple versions of games, so if you are going to vote for SF2, coordinate amongst yourselves on which version you will be supporting so that the votes don't split.

If you are voting for something that got a reboot like Mortal Kombat or God of War, please specify which version of the game you mean by putting the year in your vote.

Same thing for multiple versions of the game, like if you are voting for Spider-Man 2 (2004), not only is that confusing because there is a new Spider-Man 2 (2023), but there's also console versions, mobile versions, and a PC port that are all different, so your vote would need to look like "Spider-Man 2 (2004)(PS2)."

If you do not specify, I won't be asking for clarification, and I am going to make a big Zen Assumption during tallying.

-----------------

Reference Links: Board 8, I have known you for a long time and I am pretty sure you know enough about video games to vote without a link to wikipedia.

YESTERDAY: These Disney Rushmores are starting to feel really same-y, with multiple people asking if we did this one already. For the most part, we know what's strong with the Disney animated movies, so we probably won't be doing any more of these unless we get some good recommendations.

Last minute tie though! That's always fun. This tiebreaker is now going to run for an entire holiday weekend lol

It would be disingenuous not to include it. For a ton of young people, gaming is Fortnite. It's shaping the perception of what a game should be for an entire generation. We shouldn't disavow it because it isn't our thing.

Ocarina of Time

Perhaps the most highly regarded game ever (not necessarily the most popular, there is a distinction here). It's hard to find a publication about best games ever made that doesn't have OoT on it somewhere (and usually high on the list), and it deserves recognition for that.

I wish I could combine Minecraft and Fortnite into a single vote (Minenite or Fortcraft) because they're both worthy, but I don't want to vote for both.

PUBG is more popular worldwide than Fortnite, and it came first. There's zero reason to put Fortnite on here instead of it.

  • Pong. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.
  • Super Mario Bros. We need something from Nintendo, and their first big console hit will do.
  • Doom (1993). Patron saint of putting games on things that don't need to have games on them.
  • Minecraft. Biggest game in existence.
There are dozens of worthy entries.

Super Mario Bros. 1 (Lock.)

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (I always felt bad for Mass Effect fans -- before the third game divided fans, I thought that trilogy was going to be the biggest critical darling of the medium since OoT or maybe even bigger. As is, OoT still holds that space, and in my mind FF7 is strangely gunning for it again but it's LoZ:OoT's to lose.)

Minecraft (I don't play it but it's just too big.)

Simmering on a fourth...lots of good options.

Call of Duty 4 (my first online multiplayer experience, I've been hooked on multiplayer shooters and COD since)

Joining the "personal influence" train.

(NOT A VOTE)
Sonic 2 (first memory I have of playing a game)
Tales of Symphonia (While not my first RPG, I feel like this around when I realized it was probably my preferred genre)
Trails in the Sky
Bloodborne (served as my intro to Soulsborne and showed me how much I enjoyed it)

HMs: A lot, to be honest. S3&K (Think my obsession with it was greater than Sonic 2), SMRPG (my actual first RPG), Golden Sun/Fire Emblem (same timeframe as Symphonia and similar reasons), Xenosaga 3/Persona 3 (similar role as Trails actually just earlier and more of a drilling-down in story/character focused RPGs)

Very RPG heavy but then that comprises most of what I play. I could probably also try to fit Perfect Dark/Halo/Halo 2 in there somewhere on the HM list but eh.

---

Actual Vote for the Rushmore:

Tetris
SMB1
OoT
Minecraft

A little less sure on OoT and Minecraft - the former because I'm really just giving it there for the continued prestige since it basically held the top spot forever and Miencraft idk i'm on board 8 i don't know what anyone plays past 2005 i hear this is popular (considered Roblox but it seems we're mostly thinking Minecraft/Fortnite here?)
