Greatest Other Game Ever: Nominations

Post by Sylvus »

If you've got a game that doesn't fit into one of the categories that I posted, nominate it here. I think 8 categories is a good number, and I wasn't sure where to put sports games, if anyone would actually nominate those, or Civilization since I don't feel like making a turn based category.

Civilization

If so, good.

I never played it, so I wasn't sure where to put it. Is it an RPG?

Master of Orion 2
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .

Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

Would the Total War games go here? They're sort of a RTS hybrid with turn based.

Anyways, if they don't make one of the polls, I'll swallow your soul.

I would almost term this an RPG, but it was a very unique and groundbreaking game. There was just so much story and open ended exploration to this game.

I seriously loved those games when I was a kid. I recently installed and replayed both of them during a lull in PC gaming.

I also want to nominate the Monkey Island series. I guess graphic adventure goes in other, since they don't really make graphic adventure games anymore.

The Dig

I haven't played it in over 10 years, but at the time I thought it was the best game of its kind.
