Following up their own top 100 list IGN decided it was time for the public to post their own top games, so if you want to vote for Fallout do so here. They also posted a Fallout image to promote the feature, strangly enough Fallout didn't make their top 100 list.
Link: Top Games Evah!
Again thanks to Vasilii for informing us!
 
#010 - Street Fighter II
#009 - Final Fantasy II
#008 - X-COM: UFO Defense
#007 - StarCraft
#006 - Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
#005 - Super Mario 64
#004 - Tetris
#003 - Super Metroid
#002 - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
#001 - Super Mario Bros

Does anyone else notice a slight bias in their top 10? I get the feeling some serious nintendo nostalgia played into making this list. Oh, and insult to injury...

#85 - Final Fantasy X

Yet no Fallout, where is the justice!!! Where I tell you?
 
That's a pretty fucked up list. It's mostly console titles with PC titles thrown in seemingly at random - yeah, Baldur's Gate, System Shock 2, Deus Ex, aren't you happy now? Nostalgia features heavily, yet there are less than a handful of C64/Spectrum era games. Archon? Wtf?
 
VVV Ghei.

Also, X-COM Ufo Defense? I hope it's the Fancy American name for UFO: Enemy Unknown, in that case it's justly there.

Under Starcraft, though?
 
What else can you expect? Most of the games we remember came out long before the typical IGN readership (and quite possibly the editors themselves) were ever born. Apropos to IGN's readership affinity for consoles, and let's give them some credit here, all you needed to do was push the button to turn the game on.

Seriously, have you tried to teach people raised on Nintendo how to use MS-DOS, much less have them understand how it works? Hell, half of them are still having difficulty figuring out Windows. Then you expect IGN to have a list that isn't almost wholly console related or biased?

Good luck.
