This may not be a hugely valuable contribution to the discussion, nevertheless ...
A. Game value is in the eye of the beholder.
B. What takes my eye changes over long and short terms (as a function of spare time available, economic circumstance, hardware at hand, effort/reward ratio, but mostly the ever-intangible "what takes my fancy at this point in time" - a reflection of my personal psychology that also changes over time).
C. At best you can please some of the people some of the time.
I'll admit that I'm of an age where I lost the capacity to devote bunch-of-hours-per-day to gaming just as MUDs were becoming really popular. I think as a result I never really got into massively multi-player gaming. I've played Diablo III - but single player.
My favourite games of all time include (in no particular order):
- Moon Cresta (table-top)
- The Hobbit (C64, cassette)
- Nethack (VAX VMS)
- Impossible Mission (C64)
- Balance of Power (C64)
- Bards Tale I (C64)
- Dune (Amiga)
- Elite (Amiga)
- Nethack (PC)
- Need for Speed: Most Wanted (original) (Mac, via Wine)
- Diablo III (Mac)
- Nethack (Mac)
- Backgammon (iOS - at least 10K games played on this sucker! I had to delete it!)
- Nethack (iOS)
Lately, I've been really getting into Really Bad Chess (iOS). Was never a chess player but it's is a clever wrinkle on this (for me) very boring (i.e. too hard) game.
