Aww at people revealing their lists so soon. :(

 

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

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

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? :p

 

 

I was too intimidated by the math involved.

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

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.

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.

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.

How are the lists coming along, guys?

 

I've been procrastinating a bit, haven't been home a whole lot.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

My list is finally finished lol Today is my first day on here for a good bit. The holidays are wrecking me arse but in a good way.

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

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.
