Edit: When I made this post I didn't realize they already had an extensive list of games, I thought it was just those three.

The games currently in are Pac-Man, Tetris and Super Mario Bros. This is a prestigious ass list so we have to vet these games here
Candy Crush - Nah. Very popular but the gameplay isn't very original, way more games deserve it before this. I get that this is one of the huge mobile games but there's just way more important games.
Centipede - To be honest I never had a history with this one.
Colossal Cave - This is like the first real text adventure game from the 70s. OG like this deserves attention.
Adventure - Another super classic, one of the first games to include developer credits, as a hidden easter egg.
Dance Dance Revolution - It's DDR, this was the hottest booth in the arcades for a very very long time.
Half-Life - Great game, over rated series. Didn't do anything that groundbreaking. Half-Life 2 was way better and I think you could put more then a few shooters above that. I guess because of Counter Strike and Team Fortress being expansions/mods? Very surprised to see this game on the list.
Microsoft Windows Solitaire - Can't deny people played the shit out of this one. We may not think of it as a true video game but this was probably a ton of people's first game.
Mortal Kombat - I think it should be considered because it was such a huge arcade game as well as spawning the most successful video game movie on top of being a major reason the ESRB was created. That said, if SF2 was on here I'd probably have to vote for it. But the ESRB and pop culture factor can't be understated. Huge game, I see the current popularity of Mortal Kombat as just a return to its rightful glory.
Myst - I never played it but I know it's supposed to be a legendary point and click game. Unfortunately I never really got into the genre so not much to say.
NBA 2K - I don't play sports games but this one is actually really good. That said, no freaking way. I'll take NBA Jam over this any day of the week.
Sid Meier’s Civilization - Civilization is a super well regarded sim series and I think a ton of games were spawned from it, talking anything from the Sims to Warcraft 3. I think this is one of the more important games on this list here.
Super Mario Kart - Awesome game, popularized the cart racer. I think it's easily one of the best in the Mario Kart series but I don't think it's on that level of greatness.
Super Smash Bros. Melee - Scorching hot take, I think Smash 64 is more fun to play. Great game though.
I think the best choices are Colossal Cave, DDR, Mortal Kombat, Microsoft Solitaire and Side Meier's Civlization. I'm gonna give Colossal Cave some love because it's probably not going to win but I think it deserves the mention.
Also, "one vote per day". That will go well
