1Up posted a very fun feature today about the essential drugginess of many classic games. It’s a countdown of the top five, everything from the munch-centric antics of Pac-Man to the mushroom use of Super Mario Bros. all the way to the blatant pill-popping of Dr. Mario.

You know, they’re missing a few classics. Like Space Invaders (paranoid fantasy?) and Yoshi’s Island (remember those trippy “fuzzies”?) and even Sonic the Hedgehog (speed - it’s not just about velocity). Check out the post for the usual (1Up writer) Scott Sharkey humor. And post in the comments if you have other good suggestions!
