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?

    That's like asking what's the best food to have in your fridge. What is the best color is along the same lines...

    Bacon and green. Next!

  2. Trolling by Zalbik · · Score: 5, Funny

    I like to play a game called "Troll the Internet"

    You pick some category (music, books, movies, etc) and then ask a question along the lines of "Which is better?". You can even do it with entire categories (e.g. "What are the best songs to have in my music collection?" "What are the best books to read?")

    It's hilarious watching the infighting and attempts to justify responses to a subjective question.

    The game has gotten a bit out of hand though. I've even seen it being played on popular tech forums like "Slashdot".

    Cribbage... that's where those fat cat card manufacturers get you with their fancy wood board and peg upgrades.
