Super Metroid is one of my 5 bet games of all time. I understand that people absolutely love it. I know it defined a genera but it's a small genera in compared to shooters which tend to be the highest selling titles still today. It's very surprising to me people are that oblivious to the importance half-life 2 and steam and even Halo 2 had for shooters last decade. Then there is World of Warcraft. Metroid might be one of the five best games ever but it has never even come close to being on WoWs level when impacting culture. I'll never forget the WoW South Park episode for example. Wow defined a genera and you still see today people trying to chase that on a AAA level.

These are all the thoughts many of us had back in the games contests years ago - but a history of these contests has taught us GameFAQs voters do not revere PC gaming at anywhere near the level of console gaming - especially the SNES era.

Something interesting just dawned on me while reading this. I have been a member of Gamefaqs for a long time. Now days I tend to think that most people on the board are much much younger than me based on their logic and immaturity. However seeing that people favor SNES titles over all others means the average age is probably much higher and I fall into the average. I have a hard time believing 13-25 year olds hold SNES games in this high of a regard.
