I think that Nintendo should be on the list because of the inovations they made throughout the many years. I also think that WOW should be on there aswell because of millions or maybe billions of people who play it. They like raised the bar for MMORPGs.

Warcraft 3 or Starcraft. They raised the bar for what an RTS editor should contain.

7 wonders of the gaming world in order ... PONG, Super Mario Brothers, The Legend of Zelda, Sonic the Hedgehog, Night Trap, Final Fantasy 7, and most recently the Wii.... these milestones in the path of the gaming world have all been either ahead of there time or, just plain timeless (yeah I know what your thinking... NIGHTTRAP?? is he MAD!!!! but seriously it was innovative thinking for the gaming world at the time just really misunderstood)

1/ Sonic The Hedgehog - Or what the developers could do with a mis-colored two footed thing that can touch his bum with his nose.... sort of!2/ Rayman - Because dancing with rabbits is just what everyone wants to do these days! And let's not forget the plungers!3/ Wii/DS - Proof that you don't need something with buttons to have fun!4/ Advanced Programming - =IF(Rocket Launcher=Miss,Death by Humiliation,Winnar)5/ Strategy - Those games which requires almost inch-perfect strategy placements can make or break a game. And those who fail are prone to yelling at their TV screens!6/ The Female Figure - There's usually one person in a game which has to fit the criteria of the developers 'I'm a man! We need women with sufficient clevage and such!' thing. And for that unlucky soul, they're left to wearing the skimpiest clothes that shows as much of themselves as humanly possible!7/ Graphics - It had to come... how else are those female figures going to get noticed?And that's my Seven Wonders of the Gaming World. Pretty basic stuff, but what can I do?

Thank you for putting pong on your list. For those of you who don't know pong was the first video game in existence, created by a Computer Science professor to make his subject look more interesting. That history note asside, Super Mario Brothers and The legend of zelda would also be ground breakers. Pool of radiance, though not a great game was one of the first if not the first D&D game to make it into video game status and also one of the first RPGs to make it to electronics. Instead of WOW mentioned above i would say everquest, it was the first of the MMORPGs to hit it big, WOW came along in its wake. Warcraft 3 or starcraft (whichever came first, not sure) deserves a place on the list, as well as hearts of iron.7 wonders of the gaming world in order ...

Possibility1) Online Play - They day you could stay home and play with buddies changed gaming.2) Nintendo - innovations 3) StarCraft - RTS greatness that broke records4) 4 Players - Nintendo had an adapter I believe not sure, but N64 and Dreamcast (GC) integrated em.5) Save - I mean games got bigger and what would it be if you couldn't save.6) Bullet time - Maybe not a wonder but it was great in Max Payne when they came up with bullet time.7) Mario - First video game superstarJust an idea for a list if you'd say games or consoles or what we get a list for that. this is pretty general

Seven Wonders of the Gaming World, eh? Well, here's how I would see it:1.) Mario - greatest video game icon of all time2.) Pong/Atari - started it all3.) Tetris - this simple yet addicting game has spanned generations and is still popular today4.) Shigeru Miyamoto - this man brought about the nintendo characters we know and love today5.) Halo - this series is the most popular of the modern gaming era (i.e., XBOX 360, PS3, and Wii era)6.) Final Fanatsy - probably the most popular rpg series to date spanning decades and multiple consoles7.) Legend of Zelda - the series has spanned 2 decades, is still wildly popular, and Link has become one of the most recognizable video game characters to dateThat's it. That's just my opinion

7th.- Halo 3. The overratedness of the gameplay and its godly maultiplayer, not to mention its hordes of brainless fanatics pushed it up here.6th.- PlayStation 2. It was the first console ever, to do something else than gaming. Not very useful, but interesting enough to deserve this place.5th.- Super Smash Brothers Brawl. The winning formula of all the Smashes, now reloaded and with Wi-Fi. Need I say more?4th.- XBOX 360. It has Halo.3rd.- Super Mario 64. The pinnacle of 3D platforming. It was one of the first, the best, and the unbeaten, even by their successors.2nd.- Street Fighter II. It's Super Mario 64 but for fighting games.1st.- PONG. I mean, the first game ever. That's gotta count for something.
