A list of games I’ve enjoyed
SoftwareMarcel in Hamburg made a list of games on his new blog Life-Size Models of the Drama. As an aside, that’s a fantastic name. It inspired me to come up with a bit of a list of my own. I… didn’t realise I had so many, given I spend most of my life in a text editor for fun!
The listed platforms are where I first played them, not necessarily where they first appeared.
