Most popular game?
« on: August 19, 2011, 04:06:30 pm »
I just ran a query to see the most popular game on the site and was a bit surprised by the results. I thought it'd be fun to challenge you guys to see if you could come up with it. Have a look around and check out the user counts and see if you can find the most collected game. If someone doesn't find it, i'll post the top 5 list here in a few days.

I'm thinking Super Mario Bros. 3, Legend of Zelda, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 have to be up there.

@scott owns at least 3 copies of Tetris, oddly enough, but is that too easy of a guess?

... but yeah, I think @brettybluevein is leaning towards the right direction.  Legend of Zelda definitely has a lot of owners (won't find my name on there, though)...

I dunno, I bet a Pokemon game makes the list. Also probably some classic RPG, we all seem to enjoy them. Maybe Chrono Trigger or Mario RPG?

pokemon games seem to not be as high as I thought they would be.

I honestly thought that Super Mario/Duck Hunt would be one of the highest, being the main pack-in for the NES for years.  Between the two variants, there is about 100.

The highest count I can find right off is Super Mario Bros. 2 with 84 users

Remember, the query doesn't figure variants as 1 game. So the question would be, more like, "most popular item"
