IGN humps Myth, fails to mention project magma and marius

I'm super happy they gave homage to Myth, but the lack of explanation of how the community has continued with VOLUNTEER fucking OPEN SOURCE shit borders on negligence. Anyway, it's nice to get a mention. One of the greatest games of all time? You bet your ejaculatory reflex it sure fucking is. Right up there with Chrono Trigger and Mega Man, you son of a bitch.

Nice to Myth get some respect, and I know the list is in order that the reviews were added, but it's still painful to see Myth TFL 11 positions below "Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (1990)".

I admit I've never played MJ'sM so might be underestimating it's greatness, but seeing a list of 'greatest games of all time' that contains Moonwalker takes a bit of the lustre off Myth's inclusion.

Also, the site is showing it's relative youth - the oldest arcade game I saw in the list is Defender. What about Pac-Man, Asteroids, Galaga, SpaceWar, Missle Command? or Pong or Breakout? WHAT ABOUT SPACE INVADERS?
Lots of Myth stuff at http://mythgraveyard.org.

MJ'sM is alright. Power Rangers was a better Mega Drive game tho...

The Seventh God mb? Or an overdose of tolkien inspired nostalgia causing misfiring in the memory circuits.

That is one old-ass review and list of top games.... I swear that I first saw it at least 4-5 years ago.

Not actually open source, unless I've missed some very, very big news.
