All the cool kids are doing it, so I guess I’ll navel-gaze for fun & profit, too…
Here are fifteen games that will always have an impact on me (that I can come up with in under fifteen minutes)…
- D&D (specifically Moldvay/Cook/Marsh B/X and Gary’s AD&D)
- The Fantasy Trip (including Melee & Wizard, of course)
- Traveller
- Champions/Justice, Inc./Fantasy Hero (i.e., the early, pre-unified Hero System games)
- Illuminati
- Talisman
- Poker (5 card draw & 7 card stud, none of this Hold ‘Em stuff, thank you)
- Spades & Hearts
- SunDog (old Apple ][ game)
- Quarters (no, really)
- Magic: The Gathering (sigh, really)
- Big Eyes, Small Mouth
- Basic RolePlaying
- Barbarians of Lemuria
- Out Of The Park Baseball (computer game)
I’m sure there are more, and I’m sure I’m cheating by lumping a few things together up there. Oh well.
