My Favorite Games: Suikoden 2
The game that changed how I think about Japanese RPGs and how I think about Kobolds
My Favorite Games: Myst
The first mega-hit CD-ROM game still doesn’t get enough credit for what makes it so special
My Favorite Games: Dark Castle
The classic game for classic Macs, which not only took full advantage of the hardware, but the philosophy behind it
My Favorite Games: Uninvited
One of the first games I played on the Mac was one of the most influential games I ever played
My Favorite Games: Day of the Tentacle
If I had to pick only one classic LucasArts SCUMM game, it would be the one that mastered not only art and presentation, but comedic adventure game design
My Favorite Games: The Sims 2
Memories of the game series that taught me about abstractions, and about how profitable video games can be (for other people)

My Favorite Games: SimCity 3000
You can’t cut back on nostalgia for the SimCity series! You will regret this!
