Greetings.
Please,share,what is Your most beloved game.
U may also add Your favorite game for a particular category,but do U have 1 most beloved @ all too?
For example for me I feel it this way:
Best Game @ All/Best Strategy Game/Best DOS Game/Best 16bit Game/Best DOS16 Game:
For all the above categories my favorite is
SimCity 1.
Best Action Game/Best Sci-Fi Game/Best Adventure Game/Best 2D Game:
Commander Keen,of which my favorite episode is 5.
Best Logical Game:
Brix.
Best Arkanoid-like Game/Best DOS32 Game:
Krypton.
Best PacMan-like Game:
BechMan.
Best Racing Game/Best 3D Game/Best Multiplayer Game:
Lotus.
Best War-Game:
Tank Wars.
Best 32bit Game/Best Win32 Game/Best Windows Game:
SimCity 4 DeLuxe.
Best Win16 Game:
PipeMania for Windows.
I apologize for those,sure,the best game @ all/best DOS game/best 32bit game/best DOS32 game/best 3D game...is Doom 2,but it will still get 99% votes,so my single vote cannot endanger its position of globally favorite game,but this is about personally favorite games-personal feelings & opinions...which of course is not in conflict with counting the votes @ the end & get a global winner & even it is sure,Doom 2 will win most of the categories,still we may be curious,which games will win categories,to which Doom does not fit,for example Racing Games.

I never played a 64bit game & only 8bit game & only non-x86 game,I played,was Commodore version of TankWars,so I did not voted in these categories,nor in others,where I did not played anything...
... maybe I can add Best Analog Game/Best Board Game:
Chess.
...
So let's add Your votes & opinions...

To be clear,by 2D Games I mean 2D Side-Scrolling Games.
& I forgot to add these categories:
Most Beautiful Background:
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure,Episode 1,Level 9.
Favorite Game-Creature:
Commander Keen 4:The tiny green,which becomes large,when it bites Keen.

BTW as movies gets Oscars,games should get golden Keens for winning a category & for winning the main category Best Game @ All I suggest as a prize a golden Keen on pogo,but I guess,I will be overvoted,& it will be a golden Doom Trooper...

Best NES Contra
Best DOS DooM II
Best strategy Red Alert 2
Best DOS strategy Warcraft 2
Best FPS Half Life 2
Best DOS platformer Duke Nukem 2
Best DOS puzle Supaplex

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

For a nostalgia quikie yes Doom 2. But for a full on FPS start to finnish few day session then RTCW or Half Life 2 is better. I really can not put my finger on a best game of all time and all platform. Those and many more have been my favorite on different times of my life. If I got my Raspberry PI 3 + Retropie + SNES controller, my favorite was arcade Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for some time.

Interesting.
I had also hard choice,my candidates for Best @ All was SimCity 1,SimCity 4 DeLuxe & Commander Keen 5 & it was really hard to pick 1 Best of All,finally I hesitated 10 mins between SimCity 1 & 4...
& for PacMan-like Games I also hesitated for about the same time between Bechman & Supaplex.
& most difficult was to pick 1 most interesting Game-Creature,for last 15 mins I hesitated between the small-big green 1,I then selected,the 2-mouthed also from Keen 4 & the Beholder from Doom...

Not sure if I understand the rules being tired.

I think Baldurs gate 1 & 2 are top rpgs. Also the remakes are very good.

The best point and click Adventure game of all time is Monkey Island 3.

The best strategy game is hard, I like all Sid Meir's Civilization versions and put a lot of time into them over the years. Civ 2 is closest to heart, but these games are always over-shadowed by their successor, so I would probably pick the latest installment today, maybe bot 7 cause i have not dared to pick it up.

Best logical game for me was game called In Memoriam. Doubt anyone will be able to play it today as it was one of those games that sent you emails with clues for puzzles and you needed to go to webpages to solve them.

Best sneaky game is Theif 1. Played it on hardest difficulty, it was a blast.

Best FPS is Jedi Knight 2. I just love this game. Think I need to replay it.

No rules @ all,just suggestion is to pick favorite games per category(& if the category was not yet mentioned,U may add a category) & 1 pick,U feel being best of all,but as there already was mentioned,some1 has no 1 best of all pick.
In all cases we all will find some new titles to try & if the votes will be too unclear to count,we will all @ least share our best gaming experiences.If the votes will be countable,winners should get a golden Keen...(joke,I cannot pay for golden Keen rewards,I even do not have a 3D printer to print @ least plastic Keen rewards...)...
Interesting,no1 else have a favorite Game-Creature?

Pinball!
Pinball the PC game, pinball the Mega Drive game, pinball the Real Deal that uses Earth as its physics coprocessor...pinball in any shape or form is just ludicrous amounts of fun.

Speaking of physics coprocessors, Mirror's Edge! I think I've completed that game like 5 times since its release. A definite fave!

Crazy Taxi! I used to rack up some crrrrazy scores on campus back in the day; it absolutely was my favourite not-a-pinball machine there.

outcast. academy was also good but it was not as polished imo.

Tbh i dont remember even using guns after you get the lightsaber, sorry for spoiler! 😉

But yeah i remember the laser guns being quite bad, but storm troopers dont have a reputation of being very accurate with their aim, do they? 😂
