All Time Favorite

• Alley Cat -- There are programmers that have enjoyed shorter lifespans than this feline minigame fiesta!
• Archon: The Light and the Dark -- Just because a game is based on simple concepts doesn't mean it can't enjoy endless nuance
• Beyond the Tesseract -- This game could be a final exam for first-year university
• Bishi Bashi Special -- The future looks like a big step back, but it's so damned fun no one minds.
• Bubble Bobble -- The individual triumphs can be overlooked but their overwhelming sum has never since been topped.
• Chrono Trigger -- After much practice, Square catches the ball! Then gets back to dropping it.
• Dark Castle -- A more elegant counter to "the Mac is not a game machine" you will not find.
• Donald Duck's Playground -- All that and it was educational, too?
• Dune -- I can't to this day sleep after starting this game without completing it.
• Executive Suite -- Akin to a profession-themed expansion set to Alter Ego
• F.Godmom -- Sometimes you have to mix a lot of strange elements to achieve something that almost seems natural
• Hero's Quest: So You Want to Be a Hero -- The perfect intersection of adventure game and RPG
• Hidden Agenda -- A subtle affirmation of the middle road
• Imogen -- The game murmured at the back of my head for 15 years until I found it again and finished it
• Impossible Mission -- A high point of a certain generation of technology and genre
• Jump 'n Bump -- Deathmatch without all the overhead
• Loom -- So innovative, the possibilities it blasted open still languish unexplored
• Planescape: Torment -- An example of what can be achieved if you don't settle for making "only a game"
• Pyro II -- This game nearly plays itself, but still it compels...
• Shade -- Curiously, that above description applies here as well
• Sid Meier's Civilization II Scenarios: Conflicts in Civilization -- Jules Verne really is the only way to improve on Sid Meier
• Sid Meier's Colonization -- If all edutainment could be executed as elegantly, we would all be pickety geniuses
• Star Control II -- See how far you can take Archon?
• Sword of Aragon -- A multiplayer version of this would clean up, even today... even if it was still coded in QBasic!
• Warlords II -- Because sometimes you just want to sit down and take over a world during a coffee break
