We need to come up with a TNL list of the top 100 games of all time so threads like this stop popping up. ;)

Exactly, but that's why subeditors are there. Or, perhaps, why they should be there. All it needs is an experienced sub to run his or her eye over the text before it gets submitted; it's not rocket science.

Seriously. Doesn't this happen every single time one of these big lists comes out? "OMG TNL List".

That list usually sucks too.

edit: btw, Rise of the Triad = direct forefather of Unreal Tournament.

I don't remember a Top 100 TNL list.

It can't suck any worse than some magazine's feeble attempt.

The TNL 100 list usually doesn't get to 10 before it catches fire and melts.

I don't know that it really had a concept of up and down, though. It did but it wasn't very developed at all. If you shot below or above something you'd hit it. Mechanically it was effectively the same as Wolf.

Quake was far more a stylistic change. Did it even have true aiming yet?

It did, but it was optional.

Didn't TNL fail at even coming up with a single game we could all agree was good?

Yeah, thankfully.
