20 Best Video Games Of The Last 20 Years

5. Super Mario 64

Y'know how a really good time-bending plot twist will kinda break your mind a little until you figure it out? That's pretty much what Nintendo were feeling as they attempted to map Mario's 2D gameplay onto a 3D plane.

Thankfully, as time would attest, they absolutely nailed it, not only changing the very nature of how games were made and showcasing this to the mainstream, but they provided a template and learning tool for the rest of the industry to follow.

Simply think of your favourite video game, your favourite developer. Both of these entities were inspired by - or perhaps owe everything to - Mario 64, and that's one HELL of a thing to be able to say about a game.
