Some call Tetris a timeless classic. 1UP calls it one of the most whored out games of all time. The industry's other biggest gaming sluts? Ms. Pac-Man, John Madden, and the Prince of Persia—they've all tramped around with just about every gaming platform known to man over their respective histories.
While Pac-Man's 24 platform partners over the course of 27 years may not seem like a lot to some, Ms. Pac-Man's list of 25 will probably draw some sour looks. An unfair double standard? Not my call, but from what I hear, playing a few mazes is like throwing a hot dog down a hallway at this point.
The game with the loosest platform morals? Tetris with an astounding 39 platforms. That doesn't even count the lighting grids on office buildings. Wash thoroughly after playing. And always use protection, okay?

but i love playing with the whores!
also they forgot Pong, last time i saw it was in Mario Party 8
Man lemmings is awesome. I had it on the mega drive I think. Then when I was in school lemmings and doom were the only games we could download and fit onto the space allocated to each student. All I.T. lessons were just spent playing lemmings.
Needs more Breakout.
Tetris on a skyscraper's lighting grid?
That would be the BEST THING EVER.
I gotta get an engineer working on that...
Did anyone else expect that this list was about to aggrevate them to their innermost core that they couldn't help but response with raging fury and hate for all things? Well one thing I could say they sure dodged a bullet this time... this time...*damn list makers*
@Sabre_Justice: uh can you not see the picture posted with the Kotaku article???
anyways, back to whores ... they are awesome. and by whores, i mean the dozens of videogame remakes and sequels.
...so this is the sort of article that crops up when gamer sites run out of things to bitch about. Good to know...
@Volante3192:
HAHAHAHAHA! You sir are on the mark! More Beer!
@Sabre_Justice: dude all you really gotta do is h4x into the gibson!
watch out for Penn though
The Sims.
How about Mario Brothers (Not Super, the ORIGINAL mario brothers)
@reywing: I mean an actual working version you can play while sitting on a nearby building...
Or is that it?
Donkey Kong and a few other golden age arcade titles have been around the block more then a few times. In fact, I think ports for a lot of popular games were made for almost all the early/mid-80's home computer platforms. Not just DOS, Apple //, and Commodore ports, but also the TI's, the Atari systems (of course), the Adam, Timex Sinclair, and so on. And don't forget the BBC Micro and the MSX, the latter having a huge library.
Tony Hawk Series is an ideal candidate
How many different Tony Hawk iterations are there???
Spanned across everything from the Gameboy Advance to the 360.....
It's got my vote....
Um, Dragon's Lair? Not on the list. Appeared on at least NES, GB, GBC, SNES, 3DO, Sega CD, PS2, GameCube, Xbox, Windows, MS-DOS, Mac, Jaguar, Atari ST, Amiga, CD-i, C64, DVD Video, and home LaserDisc in addition to the original arcade release. That's 20 platforms, some with multiple installments each.
Wow. About 90% of their "Street Fighter II" section was incorrect. Interesting pictures of different versions of the game, though.
@BigChiefSmokem: You win for having the Hackers reference.
Otherwise, like it's been stated, pretty crappy list, and it's completely useless. Although I did like how they took their time talking about Tetris, it was interesting.
@TheJordanator: Yeah, including clones (Arkanoid, ...everything else) there are so fucking many breakout clones it's insane.
>=[ Well, let's see now... they forgot to mention:
1) Pong
2) Asteroids
3) Breakout
4) Frogger
5) Defender of the Crown
and (my favorite)...
6) Boulderdash!
How could they forget these timeless whores??? (And by timeless, I mean they are STILL BEING RELEASED in one form or another!!!) =/ And who said originality is dead?... =P
It's Tetris. It'll go into anything that has a hole in it.

Actually it's got a lotta holes to fill, and it never seems to get enough.
Mario, but I love the slut :)
