Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well! That's why we have a list of the best and brightest from days long gone. These are some of our favorite games of all time, and we're sure that you'll love them as much as we do, if not more. Welcome to Boot Disk, and enjoy the retro ride!

While we personally enjoy the second game in the Grand Theft Auto series, it's not the game that most people think of when they consider Grand Theft Auto. Despite our love of arcade games and mass destruction, the top-down viewpoint of Grand Theft Auto 2 just isn't for most people. Rather, when Grand Theft Auto comes up, one game in particular stands out among the rest. Grand Theft Auto 3 was a revolution in the mainstream, combining sandbox gameplay with a detailed criminal narrative that engaged players greatly. It's been the template for every Grand Theft Auto game since, and even if we aren't as fond of it as we are its predecessors, it's still an undying classic worth being revisited on a regular basis.

On Wednesday we began our series of the most influential PC games of all time by going through our choices for the 20-11 spots. Today the gloves come off as we reveal our picks for the top 10 PC games that have been the biggest influences on the industry as a whole.
