This is a fantastic new feature :]
I am a little bummed that Machines by Acclaim did not make the list. Also, Reach for the Stars would have been great.
EDIT: I take that back. I had no idea I could personally add games to the list. Very cool.

This is an excellent idea - especially as a tool to show publishers. It's a good indication of the mininum amount of folks that are willing to throw down money for a specific game. Clearly by looking at the list right now games like Torment was badly wanted. How can the companies ignore this once it goes public? :D
Is it possible to have it auto-sort so it is in Alphabetical listing format?
Oh yeah, I think it would be cool if one could attach the name of the developer/publisher as well.
This is most excellent, a poll was needed, and i'm happy we got one :)
Great addition. I've already gone through and voted for my personal favourite of games.
However, there are two things I'd like to see changed in the system:
1) Sorting options; like "last added", "name", "votes".
2) A more condensed, streamlined interface. Right now, each of the entries wield rather big fonts and a big "vote now/current votes" button, which is good for people with reading issues. However, this ends up with what is currently a 13 page rune to get through the list, and possibly more pretty soon... it would be nice to not have to run through a ton of pages to view them all. After all, there are web browser options to increase the size of fonts if needed... there are (logically) no web browser options to condense pages.
Ahh this thing is awesome. Just went through all the pages and voted for my wishlist :D
It would be great if i could click on a game title to see a drop down box (like the downloads one on the account page) with links to the game's wikipedia page, mobygames page and maybe a few more.
It looks beautiful and works spectacularly.
I may be missing something, but I got to a 2 page wish list with the highest voted and the most recent, but saw no link to look at the whole list! Needless to say, I tried to add a couple games that were already on the main list that somehow I cannot access!
Great!
Such a feature was really desired.
Alphabetic sorting please?...

I see one main problem with this poll as it stands.
By allowing users the ability to add games at will, people will have to keep going through the list day by day to see what has been added.
Of course this is rather impossible since there is no sorting to speak of really.
A couple of thoughts.
1. Make a gog Master List and use that only.
2. Sort by Genre of game and then alphabetical, newest, user recommended, etc sorting within the various groups.
3. Cut off user added games. Make them submit games to gog for insertion and control.
I guess I am not sure how accurately it will reflect the community if people do not faithfully go through the list every day looking for newly added games to rate them.
What a great feature! Yet another reason to support GOG!
Generally I'd say that this list is for people who know which games they want enough to vote for -- given that this list could balloon to thousands of titles, it's not really practical for people to be browsing the list just to see which ones they want to vote for. But maybe I'm wrong and you guys are just that awesome :)

While at first it seems this may be the case, I think there is nothing to worry about. If there was a game that enough of the community wanted then surely it would have already been added. Otherwise I doubt that there would be any games that many people want, but didn't bother to add to the list.

Sometimes just browsing a list helps recalling old (and missing) games.
Edit: Also making the top list longer (20 entries instead of 10) won't hurt much I guess.
