The most influential video game of all time - Bafta
www.bafta.org
We want to know which video game you think is the most influential and why. Cast your vote and we'll reveal the results shortly.

To celebrate the enduring influence of video games in the arts and in our wider culture, we’re asking players from around the world to help us decide the Most Influential Video Game of All Time.

‘Most influential game’ can mean different things to different people. Perhaps it’s a game that birthed a genre, one that defined an era, or one that set the standards for storytelling and interactivity. Perhaps it’s a game whose influence crosses into films, TV and music, which we still see today. It could even be a game that’s had a big influence on you, personally, changing the way you look at the world.

Whatever ‘influential’ means for you, we want to hear your choice. Need some inspiration? Some of the biggest names in games are having their say on our socials so follow us on @BAFTA socials to find out more.

You have until Thursday 20th March 5pm GMT to have your say.

    Probably gta. It’s one of those games that is still alive and people are waiting for more. Not like super mario bros.

      Mario is at least an order of magnitude bigger than GTA, it’s not even close

      Every new Mario game is the best selling game for Nintendo for a while. You’re just in the GTA, and not the Mario group.

          This is really a matter of perspective. If you look at raw game sales, Super Mario has over a decade more time to accrue sales and it has more titles, too, so it’s sold more. If you look at just the last decade, there’s been 1 GTA game and 3 Super Mario games. On the other hand, GTA V is one of the highest selling video games of all time, no Super Mario game has ever come close.
