I’m not that important, which is why this is a blog post instead of a page. I’d just like to somewhere, and somehow have my top list of games recorded because whenever I am asked the question what my top game is, I forget many options. There is always something to add to this list.
How this list works is that whenever I think about this topic I’ll check the list and insert whatever it is I am thinking about. I try and think of how much fun I had with each game at the time and this determines how it is ranked among others.
- Zelda Breath of the Wild, Nintendo Switch IMHO combined all the good things about the Zelda franchise and built even more onto the top.
- The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, 360
- Animal Crossing – played every version that ever came out.
- Grand Theft Auto IV.
- Fallout New Vegas.
- Fallout 3.
- Zelda, Windwaker, GameCube.
- Civilization VI, PC
- Turbo Esprit, ZX Spectrum.
- Laser Squad, Commodore Amiga.
- Elite – I played it on the ZX Spectrum and it is so good, I put a lot of time in the very similar Amstrad CPC version later on, too. The BBC version was best, but I didn’t own a BBC. I lie, the BBC version was the best 8-bit version – the version that ultimately came to be on the Archimedes just blew everything away.
