EGM's Top 100 Best (console) Games of All Time (in 1997)
In November 1997, EGM magazine made a list to celebrate it's #100 issue, picking the 100 best games that were either released exclusive or ported to consoles at the time (wich excluded lots of Arcade and PC only games).
It's a kinda fascinating western view of the industry for the period, especially considering that this list was made just before 1998, the year many consider to be the best and most important for the "modern age" of video games.
