Someone tell me how VCS Pac-Man made the list.

I remember learning the patterns and beating him; I think he was pretty irritated by that.

What patterns? The difficult part of the game was being deft enough to pull a corner with an 8-way stick.
Blanka, where have you been? Don't you know that 'art' is relative?
Blanka:
Art is absolute!

I loved that Bioshock made the list. It was a such a graphically beautiful game. And not just the shine and polish on it, the decorating style (art deco i believe) is such a lost art. :applaud:

How should I know? I was 4 or 5 at the time... :)
All I remember is that they had to kick me off of the game because I could play without dying. My brother and I would take turns, but my turn never ended. I remember doing the same sort of pattern over and over again, but that's about it. Maybe my brother put it on the easy setting for me.

All I can say is that I had a ton of C64 games back in the day, and I wouldn't consider any of the winners as the finest art the commodore had to offer. Attack of the Mutant Camels? Seriously? That camel could only walk forward, and that was even animated poorly.
When I think of artistic c64 games, these titles come to mind:
Forbidden Forest/Return to Forbidden Forest
Maniac Mansion
Wizball
The Last Ninja games
Impossible Mission II
Samurai Warrior: The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo
