Final fantasy tactics a2.

I don't know about favorite, but a game I remember playing ball in the Nintendo, super Nintendo days was a game called Another World. Never met another person who has played it except one of it irl friends. Wikipedia claims it's one of the best video games ever made, oddly.

Kind of a platformer, kind of a puzzler, very surreal.

Castle of the winds.

Bounty Bob on the C64 was goood.

So I just invented a game.
I kinda like it a bit.
Of course, I'm not going to tell you its name or its rules, or I will have mentioned it on the internet, which will make it a paradox.

Tf2 maybe ? Honorable mentions: Tetris, Dwarf Fortress, stormworks, bg3

Dark Souls 1. The only game I bothered getting all achievements for.

I really like backgammon but no one ever wants to play with me

World in Conflict is one I don't see talked about. Squad based military RTS.

Multiplayer on that was so fun. Guessing how the enemy was moving in order to time how you call ordinance on them was my favorite part

Snake. There are many good versions of it, but I'd say my favourite is the one from coolmathgames.com .

Pioneer
It's open source, and if you're on Linux, it's probably in your repos.
Kinda like a cross between Elite and Kerbal Space Program.

Favorites come and go with the seasons, but objectively, the one game that we have played more than anything in my house is Silver.

We've bought all the expansions and created our own variation of playing with ALL the cards.

Thinking about it, reducing my entire game library to not suggested titles anywhere decreases its size drastically. It easily knocks like 20 games I would list normally.

With that said, Last Command was a nice bullet hell game. Would reccomend

Favorite is a tough one to pick. There are many games that have genuinely shaped my life, some that I still play consistently, others that hold a dear place in my heart but I'll likely never pick back up for various reasons.

Games that I play all the time and get the most value out of are not necessarily my favorite games. I've been playing the crap out of satisfactory since it's 1.0 release, and it's definitely up there, but it doesn't evoke the same feelings I had when I played Skyrim for the first time, nor do I think it will create formative memories like the Halo, Sly Cooper, or Ratchet and Clank series did for me.

Well shit. I guess I don't have an answer. Sorry.

Fragile allegiance. Desperately needs a redo with a first person mode and better ui

Zillion

Double Dare the videogame for the Nintendo Entertainment System

Herzog Zwei on the Sega Genesis was one of my favorites back in the day!

Labyrinth!

Each turn you first move one column or row of the gameboard over by one, then move as far as you like along any unobstructed path as you race against other players to collect magiffins in the ever-changing maze.

It's a game that rewards both creative thinking and sabotage. It helps develop strategy and spatial reasoning. It's simple enough for a kindergartner to learn but engaging enough for adults to enjoy even after dozens of games.

So... A game that actually isn't my favorite, just the favorite amongst things that I've never seen mentioned anywhere?

Shit... Even the most obscure games I know about, I know about because someone else mentioned them.

I guess I'll have to go with Fightin' Herds? It's one of the few games I have that I bought entirely on the screenshots from the store page and I've never seen anyone mentioned it ever. In the simplest explanation: It's a 2D side scrolling fighting game with animal characters designed by Lauren Faust (the creator of MLP: Friendship is Magic). It's not a very good game. It's extremely cheap and unfair, like way more than any other fighting game I've played. The adventure mode is also kinda shit because it takes the already bad fighting mechanics and makes you do platforming and Smash Bros style horde fights against multiple opponents and the controls just aren't really designed for that shit (up is jump and it doesn't like you trying to jump forward so making what looks like an easy jump is harder than it has to be). I haven't even gotten 25% through the story mode :(

Actually... Matt Muscle should be told about this pile of dogshit for his Worst Fighting Game Ever series... 🤔

I really enjoyed Doom 3. Has more of a horror vibe compared to the hack and slash nature of the rest of the series, but I feel its very enjoyable and doesn't feel as old as it is.

Does making a list of all games not on any list count as a game? Also, what happens since that game is now on a list making the original list incorrect?

My actual answer would probably be the old SSI games on Amiga specifically for Death Knights of Krynn or similar, though I don't think they hold up super well (it's 1st ed D&D specifically in Dragonlance and adapted to PCs of the time).

Action Quake 2 - AQ2

An online 90s FPS

--//--

Innovation

Card game - Simplicity and depth, exceptional gameplay. Best at 2P.

Two gamecube games that I never see discussed anywhere, and no equal sequel has ever released for:

Cubivore & Frolf

I am still so sad to not be an owner of either in a physical capacity :’(

Cogmind! I found that game after I bought Caves Of Qud. Technically it wasn't recommended to me by anyone directly (just found it one day scrolling through Steam). Its an excellent RPG where you play as a self-assembling robot trying to escape from a massive robot colony thing. Haven't gotten super far into the game yet but I absolutely love the gameplay and sound design. Check it out!

Also, NES Open; the greatest golf game ever made in my opinion. I've had it since I was a kid and have never heard anyone talk about it online. Simple gameplay, high skill ceiling. Exactly what a golf game needs to be!

I can't answer anything since lemmy is the internet and once I answer whatever I mention will breach the requirement by virtue of me (anyone) mentioning the game on lemmy (the internet).

Anyhow, I learnt about Diablo 2 from my cousins when I was 7 and played it a lot before knowing internet was a thing, does that apply the non fucked up version of your request?

Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet

Well, shit, that makes my list really, really fucking small.

I guess Clutch? Literally never seen anyone mention it before, cheap carmageddon clone
