Regarding "Amano Worlds"... are you a Final Fantasy fan?
If the answer is yes, where is your videogame list? I'm really curious.

Nance04/12/2010

Well, I want to make one, like My 100 favorite games or something like that, but I'm not a huge player and I feel that my games are very old (The Sims, Final Fantasy, Sierra's Pharaoh, Alpha Centuri, Civilization 2, Zelda: A Link to the Past, RollerCoaster Tycoon, Dr. Mario, Phantasmagoria) and I feel a little shy. I should make one, but I can picture people looking my list and tell themself "WTF ?!"... It could be fun. Yeah, I could add PC flash games that I like too... hum...

Nance04/12/2010

I will work on the list, but it will be games in general (if this possible), with even Cluedo and Atmosfear games and Monopoly (the board game, definitely not the Nintendo version, very weird and dumb). I will see.

I've made it: My favorite games, Top 100
