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 I'd never play it today as it is painfully outdated now so I also have to give mention to Mass Effect and it's sequel as being the best Sci-Fi game I'd actually still play.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.

    • We've seen him in 18 games now. He has not magically learned to be better in 5 games on the bench. As a reminder, here's his stat line for the last nine full games he's started: 148/264 (56.1%), 1439 yards (160 yards per game), 2 touchdowns, 5 interceptions, 32 sacks This is over NINE games. We lost these games by an average score of 10-24. In his career, Bryce Young has 11 touchdown passes. 5 of those came from two games (Detroit and Green Bay). Two of those Detroit ones were in garbage time. The problem with Bryce Young is not that his confidence is shaken or that he just needs time to learn. The problem is he is physically not capable of playing professional football in this league. Everyone on the team knows it.
    • If we somehow magically learn to draft well [I know, don’t laugh], it will take at least 3 more drafts to produce a roster that can go 9-7 or 10-6 consistently.  Doing it in 2 would mean that we have miraculously ‘caught lightning in a bottle’, landing the future Luke, Cam, Smitty, Peppers in back to back drafts.  Those are some long odds.  
    • So, Bryce solves the problem of: Hubbard running for -2 to 1 yard on 2nd down and Miles Sanders getting lost on a 3rd & long screen play? Johnson dropping a short 1st down pass and refs allowing PI? Johnson giving up on his route against physical DBs and OL going down field on a pass play? Nijman giving up a sack in 2 seconds on 3rd and 4? Hubbard & M.Sanders failing on 2nd & short, 3rd & short, and 4th and short back to back to back? Hubbard with runs of -2 yards and 0 yards to set up 3rd & 12? Ekwonu on skates getting bull rushed into the QB on 3rd & 4 in 2 seconds? Those were how the 7 drives ended before Dalton led a TD drive anchored by a 30 yard pass with pressure in his face again. You think Bryce solves any of that? Then there's the issue of the RBs and TEs consistently struggling to win in the flats. That's 90% of Bryce's game. Will Bryce solve the defense giving up 30 points by half time? The Panthers offense only had 2 drives before Young came in the game late 4Q. Is no one else noticing the Panthers only get 1 complete drive in 3Q of games after trailing by 2 to 3 scores? The defense can't get off the field and Evero's high school blitzes can be seen pre-snap by anyone watching. Is Bryce going to fix that? QB is not the issue for this team. Dalton, Johnson, Thielen and Coker are the strength of the team followed by a hot (run) and cold (pass) OL. Adding an inconsistent QB in Bryce to inconsistent RBs, inconsistent TEs, and an inconsistent OL is going to do what? Does anyone trust Bryce to read the defense from the pocket after the snap? His receivers and Canales have made it known they don't. What Bryce had success on in HS and college doesn't work in this league. Brian Robinson Jr, Jahmyr Gibbs and Jameson Williams aren't here to bail Bryce out with the huge windows coupled with slower and smaller defenders in college. They're winning with Detroit and Washington making other 1st round QBs look good. Alabama players from the 2022 and 2023 teams are winning with their teams. The media wanted you to believe Bryce, the tiny unicorn Heisman QB, made that Alabama team better when he was the one being carried with his limited game. The media doesn't want to be wrong on Bryce.
