Related to a post I made last year, but a little different because (1) you get to choose 10 now instead of 5, and (2) other games don’t get deleted, you just aren’t able to play them, so you don’t need to think about the good of humanity or anything, purely just selfish picks because it only impacts you.

A couple notes:

  • Any equipment necessary to play the games, you’re obviously allowed to have
  • You can play any DLC for the games you choose
  • You’re not allowed to make any games for you to play. If you make video games, either as a career or hobby, only other people are allowed to play them
  • Mods are allowed, but you’re not allowed to make any for you to play. You can try to commission someone else to make them for you, though
  • If there was historically a trilogy, for example, that now is sold on a major storefront (Steam, Xbox, PlayStation) as a single game (such as Mass Effect or Hitman) that counts as one game now. Game bundles, though, do not count. Basically, if it’s in one entry in your steam/xbox/ps library, it’s one game

I’m interested to see what this community chooses, and hopefully it’s different enough from my old post to warrant some good discussion here.

    Shadowrun (Sega version) - one of the best RPGs of all time

    Grim Dawn - I was a big Diablo 2 guy, and this is the next step up

    Chronotrigger - probably my favourite RPG

    Terraria - just a treasure of a game and fun for lan coop

    Deus Ex - my favourite game of all time

    Final Fantasy 6 - perfect example of what was good about the SNES

    Sonic 3 and Knuckles - there’s a lot of excellent 8 and 16 bit platformers, this one is edging out some tough competition from Shinobi 3

    KKnD - I’m going back to my PC roots in real time strategy, and I’m going with an old favourite that never lets me down when I go back to it

    OpenTTD - I can (have) spent years building up a transport empire

    Tyrian 2000 - the king of shmups

    There’s definitely games I regret not being able to play again, but I’d be happy with this lot.

      I love Shadowrun, but I’ve never played the Sega RPG. I hear a lot of people saying good stuff about it. I’ll have to track it down.
