Continuing my recent trend of "let's steal topics from websites as a
stepping off point for new discussions", I present this one:
"8 Classic Games You Haven't Played (but should)"
https://www.xda-developers.com/classic-games-havent-played-but-should/To save you the effort of clicking and reading, here are the games
they list:
- Day of the Tentacle
- Doom
- Grand Theft Auto III
- Half-Life
- Half-Life 2
- Legend of Zelda
- Sim City 2000
- Simpsons: Hit & Run
Which is a fair list, I suppose. These are all games still worth
playing, if not to the end then just for a little while to see what
they were all about. They certainly aren't /must-play/ games (although
some of them, I think, might fall onto that list); just games that
-despite their age- still have value as forms of entertainment.
Except maybe "Simpsons: Hit and Run". The gameplay of that one was a
bit iffy and most of its charm came from its virtual recreation of
"The Simpsons" universe. But I don't think that franchise has quite
the same cachet as it did twenty years ago, and if you aren't a
die-hard fan you probably won't get much from the game.
Of all the games, I think only "Day of the Tentacle" still stands out
as a game that can be enjoyed for its gameplay. The rest are still
fun, but advancements in game design all make them feel a bit old. You
can enjoy the others, but it takes effort. DOTT, though, feels just as
fresh and fun (if a bit pixely in its graphics) as the day it was
released.
How many have you played? Have you any suggestions for other classics
you think people should play?
