Your favorite game, for each genre

[Jamski]

Yeah but like you say its just a wrapper.

Noone plays M:TW because the province management is so wonderful. The game is all about BIG FIGHTS in real time. The rest is just a bit extra, which is always nice

Axis and Allies you would compare with HoI?

Ive not played either. My impression is that the reason not to compare them is cause HOI is more complex, realistic, etc. Not cause its RT. Which would you compare Strategic Command (also TB) to, A&A or HOI?

[Datajack Franit]

RPG

1. Final Fantasy VII
2. Final Fantasy VI
3. Chrono Trigger

I occasionally play Simcity and Civ but not enough for a category itself

[Pekka]

I'm not categorizing! Because there are only few games I still remember being very impressed, that I still play them every once in a while:

X-Com series
Baldurs Gate
Syndicate
Falcon 3.0
Half Life
Command & Conquer
Doom
Crusader: No Remorse

.. these were the games that I was very impressed at the time, so much that I still like to install them every now and then and let the beast inside of my go at it. I'm forgetting some games for sure that are in the same level, but these I remember now from thinking fast.

and with Amiga:

Lost Vikings
Lemmings 2
Alien Breed III

[Zero]

I remember classic games such as wolf 3D, doom and Final fantasy 4, but if it didnt have competive gameplay, I find myself growing out of it sooner or later. I really tried to extend the fun out of sonic 2 and final fantasy 6, but there only so much single player you can play until you can play through levels and beat computer as if ur a computer urself....


So here are my best multiplayer game list by genre

RTS
Starcraft:Broodwar
Red Alert
Warcraft III

FPS
Quake
UT 2K3
Counter Strike (or half life if that counts as mod)

2D Fighting
Super Street fighter II Turbo
Guilty Gear XX
Marvel vs Capcom 2

3D fighting
Soul Calibur II
Virtua fighter 4: Evo
Tekken Tag

Sports
Madden 2K3
NBA Live 2K3? (one with kidd on cover)
NBA JAM!!!!!! ("He's on fire!")

Pekka >>

You scores wont be calculated unless you put them in genre your-self... I don't know all of your games...

Agathon >>

Vote #4 and #5 in your votes wont be calculated... the limit is 3
And Space is not an category... SMAC is also in space, but it's not in the "space category"... you need to find a specific category for those games...

And Tropico isn't RTS, it's Tycoon... want me to add it as #1 in a Tycoon category?

Zero >>

2D fighting is the same as 3D fighting, so I wont count your fighting games before you edit it...

MattyBoy >>

Your palm games wont be calculated unless you set the in the usual genres... I computer isn't a genre, and we don't go by computers here (As you've seen, both Amiga. Atari, PC, etc games are calculated as the same...)

[Adagio]

Finally updated:

Lord of the Mark >> I've included the wargames genre... Happy now?
