[aljaklaw]

Personally my vote is for Zelda.

Megaman II


Zelda


Doom


Halo


GTA IV


Castlevania


Skyrim


Battlefield 1942


The Last of Us


Sonic


Other
???

 

[mtbloco]

Zelda

 

[Vader]

Sonic by a mile.

Though... Duckhunt, Tetris, or, Contra, should be on the poll.


Age will def play a factor in this poll.

 

[Someonescoat]

No contest.

Tetris definitely belongs, but I can't decide which of these 8 would have to go to make room.

So many good ones on here. I’d have to go Zelda. But hearing some of them, it’s such a hard choice, brings back some great memories.

 

[brians]

I’d have to go Zelda.

But honorable mention Tetris is memorable.

 

[Ludin]

Zelda with Halo coming in close behind.

 

[aljaklaw]

so if there was a 9th and 10th option in polls

Tetris


Pokemon

I don't play video games, but my son does. When he was still living at home he played Zelda, among others, and I liked the intro song.

 

[Mmaynard11]

I would have to say Zelda

 

[Thrillbilly Jim]

I would have went with Tetris myself.

 

[PPFour12]

Halo.

 

[DNice26]

Street Fighter 2!

 

[SkiBumGolfer]

I think it has to be Zelda.

 

[Jeff Spicoli]

I voted Halo. Zelda would be second.

 

[baylrballa]

Sonic by a mile.

Zelda Theme is better than Mario. Doom is metal AF!

Halo is my favorite and gets my vote.

 

[billyh]

My gut is telling me Sonic. Sonic has movies, several cartoon series, and you know you’ve made it when your toys come in a Happy Meal.

But if we’re going all out brand recognition, global impact with a franchise, and net worth, it’s Pokemon by a land slide.

 

[Slowmo]

Of those choices it’s either Zelda or halo. I voted halo

 

[Roadrunner]

Either Doom or Halo for me, although Tetris should have been on the list as well.

 

[checkered]

Of those, i vote Zelda, and think it is better than Mario. Pokemon, Tetris, and Punch Out all should have been in consideration personally.

Kind of sad that i dont think i had ever heard the Doom or Halo themes till just now.

 

[YukonLiving]

Tough call, but I’d have to say Zelda. Tetris is close though.

For me, I’d also have to toss in Blades Of Steel. Played that a ton.

I voted HALO, but after sitting around my buddy's basement the other day playing Mega Man; their music composition for a little 8 bit game is incredible. Some of it has elements of Iron Maiden.
