So to make this place a little more than half-dead I guessed I would open a discussion. In this topic you can tell us about games you consider your favourites or just games that were important for you in some way. Let's start with the obvious one: Dink Smallwood. Why do I like this game? It doesn't have good graphics, good story, replay value, even the soundtrack is not even special. The humor is there, but 6-8 year old me hardly understood it. I think the reason I like it is the simple, but fun gameplay and for some reason good athmosphere. I think Dink would have been a one-play wonder without the ability to play D-Mods. It's so amazing people can create new environments, weapons, magic, brand new mechanics, interesting stories... But this is my story. Why do you like Dink?Another old favourite of mine is Jazz Jackrabbit 2. It's also a childhood memory like Dink. I remember playing the extra levels in TSF, the standalone expansion. It would have been a good game you only play once or twice without the community. But new SP levels and tilesets are made to this very day. It's strange that a trend for these games really depend on what tools the developers give us to create user content. It seems those games what people can mod easely are the ones that stand the test of time.
Another favourite of mine is Battle for Wesnoth. It's the game where I learned to play turn-based strategy games. It was free, it had user content so I liked it.
Other games that I find important to me include Half-Life - the original and 2 - I learned here that not only I can play first-person shooters but actually enjoy them. There was also Amnesia - an obscure RPG Maker game that I'm not sure if it's avaliable in English - It made JRPGs my favourite genere. And the AGS games (for ex. the King's Quest remake) where I learned to like point-and-click adventure games. I now see another pattern. The games I played in my childhood define what type of games I like.
So what are your favourite games and games that are just important for you?
I think I can guess three of yours Bluedy: Mortal Kombat, Gothic, Left 4 Dead. And Skurn please tell us a game that doesn't involve ponies too.
