Play That Game

[Mulholland]

1340+ lists combined to create the TSPDT of video games.


Right, I was going to share this a few days ago but figured that I would wait until Kasparius finished his list. It's been interesting to see how his list compared to the one I ended up making.

So yes, this website has been 2 years in the making and I finally got to sticking this online 2 weeks ago.

I would love to know your thoughts and maybe stir a gaming discussion.

So yes, go to playthatgame.co.uk to see this list in action!!!

That pink is terrible but otherwise awesome I really need to try working through these lists but I'm terrible at finishing games especially these days.

You never finished Super Mario 64? Why?

[mightysparks]

You never finished Super Mario 64? Why?

Because I was a kid I've tried playing on emulator a few years ago but the controls are so awkward I can't get back into that mindset which is really irritating.

It was made around the N64 controller. It still plays fantastic on a Nintendo 64, or if you manage to config a good controller properly. I tried it recently on an emulator with my Wii U controller Pro and it worked great.

[Kasparius]

I like this list better than mine, it has Zelda Link's Awakening at #123

[Kasparius]

I love being able to look at the best games for each console and year. Fantastic!

[Rich]

I'm insane enough to want to play all of the top 1000.

This is a very nice site.

How can you "finish" World of Warcraft"?

It kind of pisses me off that World of Warcraft is number 6, I wanted to be able to complete the top 100...

[Rich]

Can you kill the Lich King or whatever the boss of it is? But, yea, I'd have to skip on the MMOs.

That's a fair skip, I say.

Thanks

It's a good thing that I could glean a lot of that from another site and not have to do all that data entry myself. Isn't perfect... so it's a still a work in progress.

Can a person beat Tetris? Is there a kill screen? I've only been able to get to around level 15.

Going through the list...there was about 200 games I knew about...sure most of them were sports titles but so many 80's computer games that look interesting that I never played.

Dune II is perhaps the most important RTS because of what it started. Almost every RTS since has taken influence from it.

You need to play Resident Evil 4 now.

[Pretentious Hipster]

Resident Evil 4 was awesome until THAT FUCKING ESCORT MISSION.

I must be escortist or something.

The Escort mission was great, for players who don't suck that is. Same goes for Wind Waker you noob!!

[Pretentious Hipster]

I'm no noob! It was only the fucking lag!!!

[Pretentious Hipster]

When it comes to winding down after a hard day's work, I honestly go for the easier difficulty or if I'm really stressed just using cheats.

In a sick way, it was very relaxing to just make tons and tons of armies in Rome: Total War with cheats and just destroy everyone.

[Kasparius]

I'm no noob! It was only the fucking lag!!!

Lag? What the fuck did you play it on?

[Pretentious Hipster]

I'm no noob! It was only the fucking lag!!!

Lag? What the fuck did you play it on?

On my custom made PC with a 32 inch LED monitor obviously.

I just wanted to say the typical response that people would say when they get called a noob.

That game was made for a good controller.

[Kasparius]

I used that Lag thing once, for Monster Hunter 4, because it actually happened. I had no idea it was a bad excuse.

[Pretentious Hipster]

I played it on PS2. But then again I was a teen then so I might feel different about the game now. However what I did play more recently was Wind Waker and I had the same escortist complaints so my opinion probably isn't gonna change.

I was into Call of Duty 4 as a teen and trust me, you would hear that so fucking often. There's a reason why it turned into a joke.
