The Legend of Zelda for the NES was the winner, followed then by Super Mario Bros, Tetris, Grand Theft Auto III and Half Life 2.

We’re absolutely sickened though that Metal Gear Solid 3 is near all the way the bottom though at 191. Sickened.

Dennis Hopper did Mario movie to buy his kid shoes

Dennis Hopper’s explained away his involvement in the dreadful Super Mario Bros. movie by saying he needed the movie to buy his son shoes.

Speaking on the Late Night with Conan O’Brien show, the actor said:

“I made a picture called Super Mario Bros., and my six-year-old son at the time — he’s now 18 — he said, ‘Dad, I think you’re probably a pretty good actor, but why did you play that terrible guy King Koopa in Super Mario Bros.?’ and I said, ‘Well Henry, I did that so you could have shoes,’ and he said, ‘Dad, I don’t need shoes that badly.’”

Man’s got to eat. Thanks, 1UP.
