Ask Slashdot: What Are the Best Games To Have In Your Collection?

Posted by Soulskill on from the you-have-died-of-dysentery dept.

SternisheFan writes: I am not a "gamer," per se. I grew up on "old school" arcade/Atari-type games. My question is: What are the very best games to own? Let's assume platform is irrelevant — any console, any computer, any operating system, any mobile device. I'd just like to know what you think are the most indispensable games to have in your collection. Let's expand this to include board games and other tabletop games as well. What games do you make sure to always have on hand for get-togethers?

  1. various card games by halfEvilTech · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For get-togethers the easiest thing to use is just plain old cards. The number of games that can be had from just a couple decks is great.
    Common games for us -
    Blackjack, Hearts, Pinochle, Poker, etc

    for more entertainment you could always Check out Cards again Humanity for those with a twisted sense of humor.

  2. The best games are... by jellomizer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The best games are the ones I have played between the ages of 10-18.
    The ones before that are too primitive, the ones after that are just full of eye candy and attempts to just harness a bunch of money.

    Oddly enough a lot of my favorite movies and TV shows were during that time too.

    I guess things were just better during the time where you didn't have any responsibilities.
