Perfect Review Scores

Can any of the people who said they can name five perfect games, actually name them please?

@DoctorDee I went for the 'subjective' option so would like to hear these lists too.

It's amazing how time changes things. When I was a kid I'd swear that Dizzy was the perfect game.

One game I'd love to call perfect is Mario 64. That's over ten years old now and I consider that a decent test of time. What impressed me about that relatively recently was how my girlfriend couldn't put it down when I had it on the DS. It's quite something that a non-gamer (or in her case someone who hates the idea of gaming) can be hooked to Mario 64 just as much as her boyfriend who has played games for nearly 25 years.

I'd also like to throw Revenge of Shinobi in there, I can play that game for hours but know the final boss spoils the perfect score. Maybe Double Dragon too. Man I live in the past.

I'm fully of the there is no such thing as a perfect game. Or the perfect movie. Though I believe perfect music albums exist, so this is not a philosophical stance.

I was thinking about this the other day, Rainbow Islands is near perfect, I think. And Tempest. And I know people who think Mario is... I don't think it's a case of living in the past.

I suspect it is an issue of complexity. Music is mono-media. But movies have to combine good story telling, with good visuals, set direction and acting. too many variables. Games increasingly fall into the same trap, and it becomes ever harder for a game to be perfect as the complexity and number of variables increase.

we just got tiered of doing what u told us to do thats right little man break it down are u ready

By what factor do you define perfect?

I'd define a perfect game as one where nothing that you add or remove will improve it.
So by that criteria the first name that comes into my head is Tertis.
It's perfect, there's nothing you can change.
Look at all the versions they did change, they're all sh*t with a capital S.

It's odd you mention Mario 64. I got that for the DS when it came out and spent more time playing the update than I ever did playing the 64 version.
By the same measure I played the Zelda Ocarina Masterquest GC update
and hated it because they'd changed things.

The progress of the very technology that games owe their existence to makes them different from other media. I don't think it is fair to compare a ZX Spectrum game to a PS3 game and compare graphic, sound etc.
That's a bit like dismissing the works of Hitchcock, Wells or Kurosawa because they were in black & white.

Games are different,they exist in their own world to their own rules and all that matters is that they make that world believable.
It's a shame right now when there are so many games trying to be movie and those that aren't are trying to be something else. (Wii fit WTF?)

So you want 5 I'll give you 7.
Tetris, Pac-man,Skool Daze, The Hobbit, Swos, Sonic the Hedgehog <the first one,Osu Tatakae Ouendan
