Related to a post I made last year, but a little different because (1) you get to choose 10 now instead of 5, and (2) other games don’t get deleted, you just aren’t able to play them, so you don’t need to think about the good of humanity or anything, purely just selfish picks because it only impacts you.

A couple notes:

  • Any equipment necessary to play the games, you’re obviously allowed to have
  • You can play any DLC for the games you choose
  • You’re not allowed to make any games for you to play. If you make video games, either as a career or hobby, only other people are allowed to play them
  • Mods are allowed, but you’re not allowed to make any for you to play. You can try to commission someone else to make them for you, though
  • If there was historically a trilogy, for example, that now is sold on a major storefront (Steam, Xbox, PlayStation) as a single game (such as Mass Effect or Hitman) that counts as one game now. Game bundles, though, do not count. Basically, if it’s in one entry in your steam/xbox/ps library, it’s one game

I’m interested to see what this community chooses, and hopefully it’s different enough from my old post to warrant some good discussion here.

    1. Neverwinter Nights
      Especially with all the modules, and the online role playing servers, this one has kept me entertained for over twenty years.
    2. Caves of Qud
      I’m going to finish this one… some day.
    3. Daggerfall
      For nostalgia’s sake
    4. Songs of Syx
      I just got started with this one, but it feels like a game I could not get tired off any time soon. It’s still under development, so I hope I get the updates as well?
    5. Streets of Rogue
      A fun game that I like to play with my son
    6. Unlimited Adventures
      A precursor to Neverwinter Nights from the early 90s. Has a huge library of modules to play.
    7. Cyberpunk
      I mainly like it as a virtual world to explore
    8. Fallout New Vegas
      It was either this or Fallout 2. But FNV has mods, so I guess this one will win.
    9. Fallout 2
      Ok, I want this one too :)
    10. <Placeholder for some kind of roleplaying MUD>
      I don’t know enough about them yet, but I’ve always wanted to properly get into one. With only 10 games to play, I hope I will be able to stay focused enough to get invested in one.
