I'm sad about the lack of Nitronic Rush. That game put many commercial titles to shame, and it was so good that I backed Distance without thinking twice.

 

[Schnitzelfee]

was the reason I backed Distance too

 

[Panda Pedinte]

That's a solid list. Personally I could have included Tales of Maj’Eyal

 

[Schnitzelfee]

Oh yeah, that game is the tits

Dwarf Fortress... What a game. I've probably never been as immersed in a game for weeks as I was with Dwarf Fortress. In that amount I learned the basics.

Treasure Adventure Game must have been part of the invisible list.

I can't seem to navigate the page on their site, but is Yume Nikki on the list? I personally haven't played it yet, but that game is incredibly influential.

Thanks for posting the list. Damn, that's an oversight, honestly.

How dare they forget Minesweeper, Spider Solitaire, and that Windows pinball game?

 

[Schnitzelfee]

I give you Minesweeper and Solitaire... That Win Pinball was fun back in the day but its in no way a good game by today's standards... imo
Also classic Minesweeper and Solitaire arent even build in into Windows anymore... you now have to play those microtransactions riddled Win Store versions

 

[Frecklestein]

I hear you gotta pay $2.50 a click in minesweeper

 

[Schnitzelfee]

new solitaire and sweeper... and solitair really has in app purchases, no joke
