Ok so I what i am looking for in this poll-thread is to find out what you all consider to be the most recognizable/influential/important/favorite/etc number that is in a game, and why? (of course explanations make things all the more better)

I'm going to start it off by including some of the numbers i think are the "greatest" in gaming. I encourage arguments, debates, and your own input. If none of my numbers suit you, don't worry there's an option for that, feel free to state your own # and give reasons why.

below are my numbers and reasons for them...

7 - FFVII (who didn?t see that coming?)
101 - The Vault, its like a womb for your character in FO3
7777 - All Lucky
99, 999, 9999 or 99999 - Max Damage/Health/level/etc
255 - Max out those stats
0 - makes things cool, prequels, or just means your dead
140.85 - got Codec?

sorry i know there are more, but that's all i can think of right now, help refresh my memory :)

* PLEASE GIVE EXPLAINATIONS FOR #s!! if you ask why a number is missing or state that a number should be considered please give a reason!!

** LOL 51 votes for pissing me off :) awesome [just fyi i'm not really pissed off]

what about 100000?
Most games, at least the ones i've played tend to set the limit on 9s

but run with it, what about 100,000? expand your thoughts :)

999 or 9999

Mostly used in the MMORGS when you strike an awe inspiring hit that finishes off that boss.

Definitely 255, because it's the max stat in Final Fantasy X, that game has taken up so much of my time... Or you could subtract 200 and you'd get my second favorite number, I've played lots of Call of Duty 4 as well.

Or a game-breaking Boss Heal that heals for 10k. No player can legally do that.

99 - coin/item limit in a lot of games and the level limit in almost every RPG I've played.

Something along the lines of, "Other reviewers use numbers to rate games. I don't want to use a complicated formula to tell you how much fun a game is. You want a number? Here's a number! 4! as in fourk you"
It was the mailbag showdown about brawl
