Heh. Not everybody thinks the same way, and some people just don't react to games the way you (or I) do. > The theme of this list means that I should recommend some retro games > and gaming systems, but those old games generally lacked depth and > tried to cover it up by making the game insanely difficult and > relying on extremely good timing and motor skills. To a point, perhaps. But some of the old games were just _good_. My own favourite is Tempest, one of the few colour vector games. 24 _kilo_bytes for the entire game, and it's still one of the most engaging games I've ever played. > I rather enjoyed the two Portal games, Me too - well, the first one; I think I haven't played the second. But I like puzzle games. I also greatly enjoyed Swapper - the first new game mechanic I'd seen since Portal, and its author(s?) built a highly engaging puzzle game around it. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
