Ask Lemmy

The boardgame Heat is one of my all time favorites. Thunder Road Vendetta is right up there too, and I am waiting to put them together for an all road race/rage saturday with my boardgame peeps.

Bounty Bob on the C64 was goood.

The Incredible Machine! the original Rube Goldberg game. me and my friends played the shit out of it in the 90s. a few years ago i decided to give it a google and i found out that not only were there an expansion i hadn't heard of, there were five other games in the series.

So I just invented a game.
I kinda like it a bit.
Of course, I'm not going to tell you its name or its rules, or I will have mentioned it on the internet, which will make it a paradox.

Final fantasy tactics a2.

Freelancer, very fun space sim that didn't quite seem to get popular enough

Banana Nababa - like an old 8 bit action platformer, but it's just the bosses

Pioneer
It's open source, and if you're on Linux, it's probably in your repos.
Kinda like a cross between Elite and Kerbal Space Program.

Xcom 2.

A friend recommended it to me because he thought I would like it. It's my favourite game and I have 100% it.

I don't know about favorite, but a game I remember playing ball in the Nintendo, super Nintendo days was a game called Another World. Never met another person who has played it except one of it irl friends. Wikipedia claims it's one of the best video games ever made, oddly.

Kind of a platformer, kind of a puzzler, very surreal.

Snake. There are many good versions of it, but I'd say my favourite is the one from coolmathgames.com .

Literally any game I like is gonna have me seeking out the Internet community for it. Your question is kinda broken this way.

My current phone game is ∞ Loop. Just a simple puzzle-type game.

I also like a variety of solitaire card games, but the app I used to like has become quite enshittified, and I haven't found a good replacement.

Tzolk’in is my favorite game, I think. It is a board game that incorporates time in an interesting way for a worker-placement style game.

Majesty.

It's a strategy simulation game, a bit like an RTS, but you can't directly control units.

Instead all units follow general archetypes. Rogues generally won't spontaneously help you but will do most anything for money. Warriors will seek out monsters and lairs that have been discovered. Rangers will explore the map. Units will also do things like buying potions or upgraded equipment based on their class and intelligence.

As the player you choose what buildings to place and can offer rewards for exploring an area or killing something.

There was a sequel, but it's a significantly worse game than the original.

Cogmind! I found that game after I bought Caves Of Qud. Technically it wasn't recommended to me by anyone directly (just found it one day scrolling through Steam). Its an excellent RPG where you play as a self-assembling robot trying to escape from a massive robot colony thing. Haven't gotten super far into the game yet but I absolutely love the gameplay and sound design. Check it out!

Also, NES Open; the greatest golf game ever made in my opinion. I've had it since I was a kid and have never heard anyone talk about it online. Simple gameplay, high skill ceiling. Exactly what a golf game needs to be!

Action Quake 2 - AQ2

An online 90s FPS

--//--

Innovation

Card game - Simplicity and depth, exceptional gameplay. Best at 2P.

Thinking about it, reducing my entire game library to not suggested titles anywhere decreases its size drastically. It easily knocks like 20 games I would list normally.

With that said, Last Command was a nice bullet hell game. Would reccomend

Does making a list of all games not on any list count as a game? Also, what happens since that game is now on a list making the original list incorrect?

My actual answer would probably be the old SSI games on Amiga specifically for Death Knights of Krynn or similar, though I don't think they hold up super well (it's 1st ed D&D specifically in Dragonlance and adapted to PCs of the time).

Two gamecube games that I never see discussed anywhere, and no equal sequel has ever released for:

Cubivore & Frolf

I am still so sad to not be an owner of either in a physical capacity :’(

Tap Ninja: A Idle ninja-slayer game have more than 700 achievement.

Rusted Warfare: A RTS game.

Zortch: A Quake like boomer shooter.

Favorites come and go with the seasons, but objectively, the one game that we have played more than anything in my house is Silver.

We've bought all the expansions and created our own variation of playing with ALL the cards.

Legretto

I was introduced to the game by an Austrian woman I dated in my 20s and 25 years later remains at the top of my list of party games.

Ligretto is a card game for two to twelve players. The game in its current form was designed by Michael Michaels and published in 1988 by the German company Rosengarten Spiele. Since 2000 the game has been published by Schmidt-Spiele of Berlin, Germany. - Wikipedia>

Image Fight on NES. It's a top down scrolling shooter where you fly a space ship and pick up new weapons and attachments. I was terrible at it as a kid but I loved it and kept trying to progress further. I've thought about picking up a copy now but just haven't gotten around to it

Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet

Well, shit, that makes my list really, really fucking small.

I guess Clutch? Literally never seen anyone mention it before, cheap carmageddon clone

I can't answer anything since lemmy is the internet and once I answer whatever I mention will breach the requirement by virtue of me (anyone) mentioning the game on lemmy (the internet).

Anyhow, I learnt about Diablo 2 from my cousins when I was 7 and played it a lot before knowing internet was a thing, does that apply the non fucked up version of your request?

Fragile allegiance. Desperately needs a redo with a first person mode and better ui

Herzog Zwei on the Sega Genesis was one of my favorites back in the day!

Favorite is a tough one to pick. There are many games that have genuinely shaped my life, some that I still play consistently, others that hold a dear place in my heart but I'll likely never pick back up for various reasons.

Games that I play all the time and get the most value out of are not necessarily my favorite games. I've been playing the crap out of satisfactory since it's 1.0 release, and it's definitely up there, but it doesn't evoke the same feelings I had when I played Skyrim for the first time, nor do I think it will create formative memories like the Halo, Sly Cooper, or Ratchet and Clank series did for me.

Well shit. I guess I don't have an answer. Sorry.
