Aww at people revealing their lists so soon.

 

​If nothing else, it helps keep the thread active and maybe encourages others to make lists,

Aww at people revealing their lists so soon.

Whoops

[Hurlshort]

 

 

Sorry Alien: Isolation and Jagged Alliance 2, I've had to omit you both in the end Former because of its fairly big problems and latter because, just before I wanted to score it with 101 points so that there's one left for the other games, I've noticed Hurlshot's post which I felt influenced by and so I've had to drop JA2 from the list for the sake of fairness.

 

You are dead to me. 

 

 

And where is *your* list, Hurlshot?

 

 

I was too intimidated by the math involved.

You can just assign five each, or use one of the examples I gave!

[Zoraptor]

I like waiting for other people's lists as I would inevitably forget games if I didn't. I'd almost certainly have forgotten Stalker and JA2 and that would have been embarrassing.

 

 

20. Heroes of Might and Magic IX (New World Computing)

 

 

Should that be Might and Magic IX? Don't think HoMM IX exists.

[ShadySands]

I'd give honorable mention to the following

 

Mass Effect 2

NWN2

Saints Row 4

XCOM2

HoMM 3

[kirottu]

I guess I'll post my list here as well

 

Dragon Age Origins

Shadowrun Dragonfall

Shadowrun Hong Kong

Crusader Kings 2

Civilization 2

Civilization 4

Civilization 6

Legends of Terris

Jagged Alliance 2

Baldur's Gate 2

Fallout

Fallout 2

Lord of the Rings Online

KotOR 

KotOR 2

Neverwinter Nights

Neverwinter Nights 2

Alpha Protocol

Vampire:TM Bloodlines

BattleTech: Crescent Hawks Inception

MechWarrior

MechWarrior 2

MechWarrior 4 Mercenaries

Sword of the Samurai

Master of Orion 2

This list is racists towards odd numbered games.

[Bartimaeus]

​But 1 is an odd number...

[Jozape]

I don't know if there are even 25 games I could play again. My top 3 are Planescape: Torment, Wasteland, and deathmatch Quake in its many forms. No idea what the ordering would be after that. I think Ultima Underworld and Ultima 7 would be up there.

[injurai]

I'll get something in eventually, I want to put some thought into it and the next few weeks make this rather low priority.

 

I've noted the deadline.

No rush! There's still roughly four weeks to go. Just like to make sure I've gotten all lists, and it helps me to keep track of the votes to tally and so on.

[algroth]

How are the lists coming along, guys?

[Azdeus]

[Hurlshort]

Zork's a good one, but my first text game was Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Also I feel like Oregon Trail should have made my list. Curses!

[Epaminondas]

Yeah, somewhere around the house I have a copy of all the infocom games. Great stuff. I never played Oregon Trail, but it's almost a classic games legend according to a lot of people I know.

[SonicMage117]

Oregon Trail, haven't played that since I was in Elementary school lol My teachers had all the students play it on the school's old Gateway computers.... man,the memories!

[Epaminondas]

Sadly, I was on distant shores when Oregon Trail came out and by the time my life returned to normal, the game was not in vogue with my age group. Still, like so many of the old school games I used to play, I might give it a try some day. So many games, so short a life.
