I thought I'd make a list of all the games I've ever played. It seemed like the easiest way to hit a 95 item list.
I must warn you, I'm over 20, and played some old/obscure stuff (some of it -- not all of it).
I can't promise I finished all of them, or even got very far. I tend to forget the ones that I don't care about, though.
Will be adding more games as I remember and/or play them.
This game really is truly awful.
This came out on the Dreamcast; I think it was kinda okay, but I hated Tail's voice so I never finished it. I think I cringed whenever I heard him.
I kinda liked this game; it practically came packed with a free 3rd edition instruction manual.
Played/Playing a little bit.
This game was one I got for my younger brother; my ex-gf recommended it to me.
Was talking to my younger brother about this list, and he said "What games have you added?" and I said "I've barely even started it". "Have you got Altered Beast yet?" "No, it's not on there yet." "OMG, That's the first one you should add! What about Hexen?"
My sense of humor is subtle.
Played it on the American re-release of it.
I liked Bowswer in this one, especially for the time trials.
I never did figure out the point of it; I just rented it briefly.
I guess Bowswer finally wised up and kidnapped the guy who was causing all the problems.
This game was freaking hard when I played it back in the day.
And this one the game that got me looking for Simpson's games from the start.
I liked being Marge; beat down with a vacuum cleaner was fun.
I liked this game quite a bit, but found it quite difficult to play through a second time. I found the story compelling, but haven't felt the pull of "What happens next?!?" with my replay attempts.
Why did it take me so long to add this game? If I were going to name one game as the "Universal gaming experience" that nearly everyone had, this would be it.
If you've never played Tetris, it's good and imitated often.
I thought this game was pretty fun; I played it compulsively for a little while, and then just suddenly stopped.
I'd never played a game before where I was able to apply my knowledge of orbital mechanics. It might just be a basic physics based game and I'm an ignorant retard, but I had fun with it.
I could never decide if I liked or hated this game. It was an RPG like all the others, and I played it long after the Play Station had become the bastion of great RPGs. I'll allow it might have gotten better at some point, had I been able to stick with it.
This game was great, mainly because of the creature. The makers were inspired by Tamagachi, and did an excellent job of incorporating that into the creature. There was also quite a bit more fun to the game as the creature became good or evil with you (or in spite of you).
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if a god of incredible power were given trivial tasks by the monsters it would normally command, awe, and/or obliterate? Look no further as your creature also tries for to earn the affection of another by raising a pet of its own.
I didn't like this all that much.
I only really played the demo, but it felt like a flop to me. Amazingly, the fact that my creature did exactly as it was told made it less fun. Somehow, being able to accidentally make your creature hate trees and burn them all to the ground, or having a good creature that occasionally ate small children, was more fun than having one that obeys you perfectly. The creature also showed less initiative, leading to fewer moments of "What is he up to now?".
Only barely played at all, at a friend's place a little bit.
This friend's girlfriend said "It's like Guitar Hero, except all the songs sound the same so I hate it". After a few songs, I could sorta see why.
I found the levels awesome to play, but much less awesome to make. I think I felt similarly about the StarCraft editor, where I mostly just made veritable fortresses and then assaulted them.
Hmmm... maybe I should try that here.
Pretty good, although I think I got my hopes up too high. I still break it out once in a while.
It was kinda fun, and incredibly cheap when I bought it. I feel like I got my money's worth out of it, but got bored after a few days.
A friend showed me Peggle at his place, and it looked awesome. I remember several times seeing awesome things happen and asking "Dude, did you mean to do that?" and he said "Sort of, maybe, awesome things just happen with this game."
The game draws from the Pachinko machines for inspiration, but instead of endlessly stealing your money this game only takes it once and gives you hours of fun. Simiarly addictive, but not similarly expensive.
Obelisks of Light rule.
This game was introduced to me by Will, with whom I have lost contact. It was pretty cool, although the primary draw was the rich but somewhat stereotypical characters.
Rogues were wonderful: They would do anything for money, and this made them incredibly useful.
Much harder than the original game, but if you liked the original it's a great buy.
Pretty sure this is the one my brother has; I'll fix it if it's not. The thing I dislike most about fighting games is the deliberate barrier to entry that memorizing the combos/controls normally represents, but I've come to appreciate what that actually means and does for a game. I don't like it, but I understand how it can have a function.
This game makes me mad because the "anti-piracy" measures that are supposed to keep you from pirating it are keeping me from being able to play on my computer with a legitimate copy. In my experience, the majority of anti-piracy measures don't work very well for combating piracy, but do make me mad at the companies when their mess doesn't work for me.
I quit playing this one so much because my younger brother complained about my laughing at the real-world inaccuracy. "The rockets don't need to burn constantly to keep it in orbit" and so forth.
My brother insisted I try it.
It's actually a pretty good Diablo II clone, or was in the original beta I was playing.
