[juggernaut911]

updated

please read the guidelines. their bolded for a reason

added tales to games BEFORE THIS POST

 

[juggernaut911]

Also, catch something I didn't in the list (typo, code typo, not alphabetically ordered, etc)


Major update, numbers added, color coded.

I'll stick with color coding because it keeps the list in ABC order.

EDIT: fixed the color system (greens)

 

[wiki]

I think you should use the most common system for these kind of threads, which is putting them in subgroups. It's annoying scrolling through that huge list when you just want a list of a certain subgroup. Right now it's easy to spot games since there's only black and green, but even that was annoying to find green colored titles. When you start using the other colors, it'll just be even more of a mess.

If you want an ABC order, do an ABC order for each subgroup.

 

[SomeGuyGG]

Civilization 4
SimCity 3000
Kings Quest 6: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow
No One Lives Forever 1
No One Lives Forever 2
