I want to replace Leisure Suit Larry 1 with Scratches and U.F.O.s with Death Gate.

And also add Quern – Undying Thoughts. Thank you!

You only have 65 games on your list, Doom.  You don’t have to replace any of them if you don’t want to.

I’d like to add:

Cat and Ghostly Road
Tales from Off-Peak City: Volume 1 – Caetano’s Slice
The Norwood Suite

You only have 65 games on your list, Doom.  You don’t have to replace any of them if you don’t want to.

No, that’s ok if that’s ok with you, I just replayed those games and reevaluated them and thought maybe they are not worth the top-100 after all. Those other 3 are definitely worth it. I know I promised not to add more games, but well, the thread hasn’t been very active.

I really didn’t mind your changes, Doom.  Sometime we forget what we’ve played until it appears on somebody else’s list. I keep a database of all my games and still forgot to include one.

Final Voting Tally

The 33 people who participated in the voting managed to come up with a total of 759 different games that they have enjoyed playing.  Some of the games may veer a bit too far into other genres, but I’ve decided to leave them on the list and let you make that determination for yourselves.

Awesome. I wonder how this will turn out. Many fascinating titles in the one vote list.

Thank you, LK.

DentArthurDent - 02 August 2022 03:29 AM

Great work, thank you for the effort!

Just an issue here:

Professor Layton 2
Professor Layton 3
Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

Professor Layton 2 is Diabolical Box. Professor Layton 3 is Unwound Future. So not sure why they are listed on separate lines?

I have to check to see if I got them from two different people or if I looked up the titles and forgot to delete the ones with the numbers.  I’ll check later.

Thanks for catching those typos, Gatekeeper!
