The Top Ten:
- Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Resident Evil 4
- Super Mario 64
- Half Life 2
- Super Mario World
- Zelda: A Link to the Past
- Halo: Combat Evolved
- Final Fantasy XII
- Tetris
- Super Metroid
The list was drawn together in three stages - thousands of reader votes, combined with expert opinion in the games industry and finally input from Edge's own editorial team.
Mr [Tony] Mott [editor-in-chief] said Ocarina of Time was the reader favourite as well as the overall winner.
He said: "It appeared not long after games made the shift to 3D; everyone was wondering if it could make the transition.
"It was a very ambitious game. The way they were able to engineer it in a 3D context was a success; it worked brilliantly well."
But he said the intention behind the poll was not to create a "nostalgia festival".
"These games had to stand up today. People will be surprised by the small amount of very old games that have made it through.
"Often these types of lists are full of games like Space Invaders and Pong - which we recognise as classics, as important games - but they don't necessarily stand up to play today."
