What?!
From the Gamespot article hilariously titled The Greatest Games of All Time: The Sims: "While The Sims was certainly revolutionary, it wasn't simply the revolution that makes it one of the greatest games of all time. Like all truly great games, it is the timeless and continually entertaining gameplay that makes The Sims so worthwhile."
Hahahahahaha!!!
Almost as good as Macworld's reason for Sims 2 making the 2005 Game Hall of Fame: "How do you top the biggest game ever? If youre the makers of The Sims 2, you incorporate a sophisticated new 3-D engine that features some of the most sophisticated graphics ever seen in a Mac game, Doom 3 nothwithstanding. Add a genetics feature that makes it possible for you to affect entire generations of Sims. Add even more challenges, too." (Emphasis mine.)
Sims 2 has some of the most complex graphics ever seen in a Mac game???
