If you think a game should be higher or lower in ranking, then upvote or downvote it. If you don't see a game on the list that you think should be on the list then create a top level reply with the name and system.

I think Q2 largely started the mass multiplayer FPS gaming culture. Multiplayer was trivial to setup over LAN unlike other games at the time. It quickly exploded in LAN parties and clubs. Q3 continued in that vein and was also great.

Interesting. My experience with Quake 1 is that it was also easy to do on LAN, but also at that point, people had only been LANning for a short time in my area, so I think that's why Quake 3 & Unreal Tournament were the first to pick up a ton of steam with the masses where I lived in the rural US.
