Favorite all time games by genre


Guild

Recommended Posts

Inspired by the classic PC game thread I was curious as to what people's favorite all time games are based on genre.

Please feel free to use my template and to post a screen shot for each pick.

Adventure: Relentless Twinsen's Adventure (Little Big Adventure in Europe)

One of my all time favorites. Cool graphics in it's day and the most relaxing music I can remember. Also frusturated the hell out of me as a kid and is directly responsible for me learning how to play games effectively and exploit bad AI.

Action: Crusader: No Regret and Crusader: No Remorse

I loved these games as a kid. It was one of the first games I remember in which almost everything could be destroyed. The weapons were also fun to use. Nothing like freezing and liquefying anyone foolish enough to cross you.

Puzzle: The 7th Guest

Creepy and difficult. I could never beat this one as a kid. This was the very first game I ever had on CD-ROM.

RPG: Baldur's Gate 2

Easily my favorite RPG though Planescape Torment is right up here as well. I still play this through a couple times a year at least.

Strategy: Heroes of Might and Magic

Loved this game. It doesn't really float my boat anymore, but the only strategy games I've played more are Warcraft 2, 3, and Starcraft which I honestly never enjoyed as much. Though Warcraft 3 custom games come close.

Sci-Fi: Toss up: Mass Effect or Star Control 2.

Star Control 2 is one of the all time greatest games ever made in my opinion and thus has to be on this list. I'd never play it today as it is painfully outdated now so I also have to give mention to Mass Effect and it's sequel as being the best Sci-Fi game I'd actually still play.

Wildcard: Ultima VII Parts 1 and 2

This was such an amazing game that at the time nothing else could compete. Great sprites, a complete living world, consequences to your actions, hidden items all over, epic adventure, hilarious conversations and subtle references. Were I to make a top 100 games of all time chart this one would unquestionably be in the top three.

RPG: Fallout 2

Action: HL2

Strategy: C&C Generals

Puzzle: Portal or The Incredible Machine

Sci Fi: System Shock or Deus Ex

Hard to argue with Fallout 2.

I haven't actually played Half Life 2 though... I may need to rectify that this week.

I've never been a big fan of C&C after the first one.

Portal is amazing but I haven't heard of the other one.

Great choices on Sci-Fi as well. Especially Deus Ex.

IMO HL2 has no faults. Honestly. Others will tell you different but it's one of the most complete games I've ever played.

Incredible machine is a very early physics game circa 92/93

as far as strategy Civ II would be up there as well.

Used to play the hell out of the original Age of Empires. Had a on going tuesday night game going with friends for the longest time.

That game was awesome. Large games with multiple players could take an epically long time.

Nice picks Natty... except Zelda. I've been a PC gamer since I first played Beachhead on my Dad's C64 so I've never been impressed by console games.

What genre do you put "Leisure Suit Larry" in? :lol:

Obviously, adventure/horror/mystery is my thing. Loved the Gabriel Knight games. Ripper was very cool too. And I'll always have a fondness for Police Quest 4 since that was what got me started.

Adventure. You seem to really love the genre.

Make sure you play Beneath a Steel Sky it is freeware now and you can get the CD-ROM version with all the sounds quite easily.

Also go play Noctropolis, my favorite superhero adventure game ever.

    • Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up. 
    • I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.
    • I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
