The idea of games being available on multiple platforms is something that every player would welcome. After all, the very idea of brilliant and imaginative titles being restricted to a few inaccessible platforms is something that annoys most fans to no end. The obvious solution here is to port these games to modern systems, giving players the opportunity to experience these games on the platform of their choice.
That being said, some titles take it a step too far and get ported way too many times... more than is justified in some cases. That being said, the vast majority of the games on this list are legendary in their own right and deserve the multitude of ports they've received over the course of their lifespan.
10 The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim
It would be impossible to form a list talking about ported games without mentioning Skyrim. The game has been ported so many times to different platforms with varying releases that it has become a running meme within the gaming community.
Of course, given the sheer number of other popular titles that have received ports, Skyrim definitely hasn't been the biggest offender in this regard. However, the high-profile nature of this title has contributed to the vast and erroneous notion that it's the most ported game of all time.
9 Doom
Doom is another easy pick for this list, with this legendary FPS being ported to almost every platform imaginable. The phrase "Can it run Doom" has become quite popular within the gaming community, with fans making it their goal to run Doom on the weirdest platforms possible.
Aside from these unofficial versions, Doom has been ported enough times to warrant a spot on this list. It's a legendary FPS that fans of this genre should definitely check out, with its modding community also being quite fascinating in its own right.
8 Tetris
The legendary game of Tetris is something that most people even remotely familiar with gaming are aware of. The popular block-stacking game has been a mainstay in gaming, with this simple concept giving rise to numerous sequels, spin-offs, and ports as well.
This popular title's gameplay is something that doesn't need to be elaborated on, given how universal any knowledge surrounding this game is. Many fans of simple puzzle games love playing an odd round or two of Tetris whenever they get the time.
7 Minecraft
Minecraft is a popular game that shows the power of indie gaming. The title promotes a ton of creativity, with the sheer number of interesting creations in this title being absolutely mind-blowing.
With a massive number of custom-made worlds and riveting gameplay loops to check out, it's easy to see why Minecraft is considered by many to be one of the greatest video games ever made.
6 Final Fantasy
The Final Fantasy series is one of the most historied franchises in JRPG history. The game started off with a legendary entry in 1987 that has witnessed a release on several platforms ever since.
Fans have no dearth of opportunities when it comes to playing the first character in a legendary series of JRPGs that is still going strong to this day. The Warriors of Light trying to fight against an evil antagonist might not make for the most intriguing premise, but there's just something awfully charming about this game that makes it infinitely playable to this day.
5 Prince Of Persia
Prince of Persia is a legendary gaming series that has fallen upon some hard times lately. Ever since Assassin's Creed has become Ubisoft's flagship parkour franchise, this Persian hero has been left in the dust for quite some time.
However, the first game in this series is still extremely engaging and a ton of fun to play through, even now. The fact that it is available on numerous platforms is pretty neat as well.
4 Resident Evil 4
While there are several excellent games in the Resident Evil series, most fans consider the fourth game to be the greatest one in the series. It revolutionized the very concept of third-person shooters itself and is still wildly fun to this day.
Fans are lucky enough to be able to play this game on a multitude of platforms, given the sheer number of times it has been ported. It's a great game that holds up... albeit with a few minor caveats that are more a product of its time than anything else.
3 Street Fighter 2
Street Fighter 2 holds the distinguished honor of being one of the best arcade fighters during a time when this genre of gaming was at its peak. The game is absolutely brilliant and still holds a special place in the hearts of many fighting game fans to this day.
The diverse range of combos and an incredible depth to its gameplay has turned Street Fighter 2 into something truly special. It's easy to see why so many people consider it to be one of the greatest fighting games of all time.
2 Pong
The classic yet enjoyable game of Pong has made it one of the most recognizable and celebrated games of all time. It's impressive that this game managed to be so iconic despite having such a simple gameplay loop.
The competitive nature of this title has made it an iconic game in its own right. Modern games might be way more complicated, but some players might want to unwind with a simple game of Pong after a point.
1 Snake
The idea of controlling a snake and eating items to grow longer while avoiding both themselves and the surrounding obstacles might not sound all that entertaining. However, leave it to Snake to make this gameplay loop into something truly enthralling.
It's highly possible that most people have already played Snake at some point in their life. It's a popular game that has been ported on so many platforms that it's almost impossible not to have tried it out!
