this is a list of games that have appeared on "at least six separate "best/greatest of all time" lists from different publications" and it's weirdly interesting. six is a weird cutoff and I'd like to play with the data some more but it's still cool.

as you might expect there's a drop off in the number of games on the list per year as time goes on, just cause there's more lists from earlier in time, but there's no games on the list from 2014 which seems accurate lol.

I want to go through and rank them from best to worst just so I can shit on the best games of all time

Thoughts:

Is there enough representation from hand held gaming? There's some good stuff there too!
13 games from 2001? Tbh, why? I wonder if it's a combination of recentism in list authored in 2000's and the games aren't old enough to be forgotten in 2010's.
Do modern gamers actually like Myst or is it feature on the lists just because it was such a phenomenon in its own time?
I'm not super into action-role playing and action-adventuring games, which probably explains why I haven't been that big of a gamer with recent titles.
