Hi there.
In August 2005, I created a topic on GamesRadar called '
GamesRadar's A-Z Hall of Fame'. The premise was thus: 26 games, each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet are nominated to be placed into the A-Z Videogame Hall of Fame. Nominations would be held in their own separate threads for a day and the winning game would be inducted the next day into the Hall of Fame. This would be done by me creating a CG image depicting the game's box art. For an example, see image below.

These games are now permanently part of the Videogame Hall of Fame. They cannot be removed or replaced. They are a part of history.
Today, and over the following weeks we will nominate 26 new games to sit alongside these. The games can be from any time period and on any game system. The only exemption is games which haven't been released yet - for obvious reasons.
NB: As you can see,
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time is listed under 'Z', when it should be 'L' (Or 'T' if you're being pedantic). This is the only game series I will allow the first letter rule to be broken. All game nominations
must begin with the first letter of the title (or first letter of the second word if the game begins with 'The').
What to do:Step 1: Using this thread, nominate videogames beginning with the letter in the topic title. I will be doing roughly 1 letter a day. So today it's 'A' and tomorrow 'B', etc. Nominations are first come first served and one nomination only - feel free to agree or disagree with people's choices - get some debate going!
Step 2: After each letter has had enough game nominations/time, I will create a poll in General Games Chat. In these threads you vote for whichever game you believe should enter the Videogame Hall of Fame. The game with the most votes wins. Once again, debate, discuss! Don't let the polls fall off the first page!
Step 3: Each poll will last for 2 days. The polls will be staggered so there will (hopefully) be 1 a day for 26 days.
Step 4: Er...That's it! Once again:
Nominate using this thread,
Vote using the poll threads.
Now, let's take a sneak peak at the new and improved
