Not in any particular order. Not sure why I included every little game, just did. Left out airplane adventures for obvious reasons :P.

Also, can't hurt if you post what you chose and why you chose it.

I admit, I really liked XOLDIERS. And Don't Look Back. VVVVVVV is also pretty awesome.

Man, it's so hard to choose. Xoldiers was the first distractionware game I played (via cactus-soft), so talk about a good first impression. Then I played DLB, and a couple of the smaller ones like DAS PUZZLESPIELEN and Deterministica. And then VVVVVV etc

Hmm, honestly, I don't know if I can pick a favorite. I think VVVVVV will buzz in my brain the longest, though, and it's so well made and polished. I'll go with that.

I had to choose between Judith and Don't Look Back personally. Judith I voted for though. I absolutely love how the story was told, and the graphics and how they led to this spooky adventure and with the sound-even better. I like retelling of old stories with a new spin on them or a unique way to present them. Which is why I love games like don't look back, judith, fatale, and the path

My favourite would have to be Sexy Adventures 5. I Love You is pretty great too.

I notice neither of those games are there, though... oh well.

Don't Look Back. Best atmosphere, maybe Judith reached similar level in my emotions but I had a headache because of the graphics ;P

Of course VVVVVV is made of pure awesomanium, but you know. Emotions and stuff. :P


allen

Hm I just put the ones from his site on here, I didn't notice these others.

I liked how creepy Judith was.

I loved the Orpheus retelling of Don't Look Back (especially when you literally couldn't!)

I only *just* figured out the Mac OSX version for Wine so I haven't played many of the others yet :)

I have to say though my favorite so far is VVVVV.

I voted pathways for nostalgic value (first game I played by Terry). My intellect tells me I should vote Judith, my rebellion nature tells me not to vote VVVVV and my time spent in front of the screen tells me Self Destruct. ^^

VVVVVV was kinda dominating the poll, heh. I changed it around a bit and reset it so people can select a few! That should give a more interesting result...

allen

Good idea. I guess it was unfair to the other games, as most people come here because of VVVVVV.

Sakura-Sun

VVVVVV and Bullet Time.
I'm trying so hard to get a high score on that! GAHH!

VVVVVV is quite qwesome to play.......another one for me is Bullfist.
