I sent this to Ernie Hilbert today for possible inclusion in E-Verse Radio, but I figured I'd ask here as well.
So many people our age grew up playing games either at home or amid the bells and crashes of the mall arcade that I thought it might be interesting to read E-Verse subscribers’ thoughts on top five video games (favorites, least favorites, funniest, most violent, best music, best character names, etc). Who knows, the info could even spark an essay or make good incidental material for the book?
My own top five, in order of hours wasted between age 8 or so and the present:
1. Myst/Riven (no surprise there)
2. CD-Rom Scrabble (never played online with a partner)
3. Burger Time (Intellivision way back when. It was the first game I owned. Damn those pickles!)
4. Mike’s Cards Solitaire (endlessly before I got Scrabble and after I got sick of Tetris)
5. Q-Bert (always my favorite arcade game—tabletop Ms. Pac Man being close second)
Honorable mention: Frogger—how exhilarating to not get hit by cars!
