T-70. Myst (6)
Genre: run-around-and-click-on-stuff-until-you-figure-out-what-to-do
Original Year: 1993
Original Platform: Mac
Company: Cyan
To say that I'm cynical about Myst is an understatement. Maybe I was just too young when it came out to appreciate it. But man, I like my games to have some semblance of directions or purpose. It was pretty, though. This and The 7th Guest marked the capabilities of a game produced on CD-Rom.
T-70. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (6)
Genre: Beat'em up
Original Year: 1989
Original Platform: Arcade
Company: Konami
This is probably the best (or at least best-known) BMU game of all time. Many know it as TMNT2 for NES, but the Arcade version was much better...aside from the need to constantly feed quarters into the machine, of course.
T-70. BioShock (6)
Genre: FPS
Original Year: 2007
Original Platform: 360/PC
Company: 2k Games
Little sisters, big daddies, a dystopian 50's era Atlantis-like civilization, genetically engineered monsters, shooting fire out of your palms, vending machines that sell guns. Would you kindly play this game?
T-70. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (6)
Genre: WRPG
Original Year: 2011
Original Platform: 360/PS3/PC
Company: Bethesda Softworks
Skyrim takes mostly everything unfortunate about Oblivion and fuss-ro-dah's it off a cliff. The developers were planning on having the world be more interesting than even Morrowind's, but then they took an arrow to the knee.
T-70. Mortal Kombat (6)
Genre: Fighting
Original Year: 1992
Original Platform: Arcade
Company: Midway
The game that for many years was the rallying cry of anti-violence activists, MK gave us a fighting game with actual "people" rather than cartoon drawings. And blood. Lots of blood.
T-70. Mortal Kombat II (6)
Genre: Fighting
Original Year: 1993
Original Platform: Arcade
Company: Midway
I've been trying to avoid situations on the list like this, but both MK1 and MK2 had 6 completely unique votes. Literally they split the Mortal Kombat vote.
MK1 was more historic, but MK2 was a vastly superior game, adding tons of characters and features, and ending the nonsense of high punch spam. Plus plenty more fatalities.
T-70. Final Fantasy Tactics (6)
Genre: TBS
Original Year: 1997
Original Platform: PlayStation
Company: Squaresoft
This game would have been higher on the list, but we had l i t t l e m o n e y to buy votes with. Don't blame us. Blame yourself or God.
T-70. Sid Meier's Civilization IV (6)
Genre: TBS
Original Year: 2005
Original Platform: PC
Company: Firaxis Games
After the failing that was Civilization III, the folks at Firaxis took the good bits and threw the rest away. The result was a Civilization game that had clearly surpassed the original two. And included most of the lyrics from You are the Wind Beneath My Wings.
