I think it shows their age. Where is Myst? I'm surprised there is no Wolfenstein or Duke Nukem. I suspect these kind of lists will start remembering DN over the next 10 years the way many lists suddenly remember Might and Magic after VI came out.
Lol yeah what are the missing quotes?
Firstly it's a non sense to list Diablo 2, Warcraft 2, Starcraft 2, Flashback, Monkey Island 2, Civilization 2 or Colonization, Sim City 2000, Unreal Tournament 2004, GTA 4, when it's
Diablo,
Warcraft,
Starcraft,
Alone in The Dark,
Monkey Island,
Civilization (I know many will disagree here),
Sim City,
Unreal Tournament,
GTA 3, that should have been listed.
I agree there's definitely
Myst that is missing, but I'll add its companion
The 7th Guest even if much less copies had been sold. Still about the missing huge classical, some other had been strangely forgotten:
Star Control 2,
Populous,
3 in Three,
Cannon Fooder,
Wing Commander,
Majesty,
The Incredible Machine,
Little Big Adventure,
Ancient Domain Of Mystery,
Puzzle Quest (or Puzzle Quest 2).
But there's also the big games from genres that has disappeared or have evolved a lot like
Battle Isle,
Panzer General,
Lands of Lore,
Eyes of the Beholder,
Might & Magic III,
Indiana Jones the Last Crusade,
Prince of Persia,
Commander Keen.
And another missing category is from the casual domain, the only one I noticed in their list is Plants vs Zombies. But few other could have been added like
Bejeweled,
Luxor,
Defense Grid: The Awakening, or
Dream Chronicles.
