What are the most important video games ever made?It's a tricky question to answer, how do you measure importance? Most popular, best-reviewed, critically acclaimed, best selling, infamously bad, true innovators?How about all of the above and more?66 Of The Most Important Games Ever! (According To Me) takes you on a journey of almost fifty years of gaming, from those very early arcade coin-op machines and the dawn of the home market, right up to the modern-day. I take a look at 66 games that I feel are massively important to the gaming industry and games that have had some kind of personal impact on me as a gamer.Each chapter features behind the scenes info and even insight from the very people who created those games in their own words. Just what was Shigeru Miyamoto doing when he created Mario? What was the first game to be given an age rating? What was the first game based on a movie (not the one the internet claims)? What massively popular games do I not like? What game taught me that journalists are full of s**t and turned me into a cynical b****d?All of those questions and many more are explored and answered in this book, with several gaming myths looked at and debunked too. Peppered with humour, references and featuring the greatest gaming related joke to be written. Taking a look at some of the behind the scenes stories of how the games were made, along with plenty of interesting titbits and tantalising trivia thrown in, along with insight from those who made the games too. All finished with my personal reasons why the games I've picked are so important.
