If I had to pick just one, then it's a really tough choice... but I would definitely say Action-Adventure. With the right combination of fight sequences and exploration, it's easier for me to get immersed into that type of game than others.

Grand strategy. As in the kind of games where you have really complicated plans and tons of choices to take over the world. Otherwise TBS, or the RPG ones.

Age of empires is still the only thing that can keep me occupied for over 20 minutes, so I guess RTS.

Plain grey socks. Wait, this is the wrong thread! Doh!

Out of that list probably Consrtuction and management simulation (games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, Theme Hospital, Minecraft [construction] etc).

I love sandbox games like the original GTA as well. You could complete levels by completing missions or by sellling cars, causing mischief etc.

Turn-based strategy (the original X-Com is still the greatest game ever made).

Of course, if I was going to list my top 10 favourite games, it would probably contain games from 6-7 different genres.

Or you could just get it from an abandonware site - after all, it is 15+ years old now...

"Terror From the Deep" is basically the same game, but with different graphics. It's a shame it wasn't released as an extension pack instead - I love the underwater missions and some of the new aliens, but overall I prefer the original weapons and aliens (Chrysalids are much cooler than Tentaculats, even if they can't fly/swim).

I think anyone who knows just a little about me would know I happen to prefer platformers. Whether they're 2D or 3D, I'm a great fan of most of the genre

Shoot-em-up

That's pretty much all I played growing up.

On my Amiga 2000, "Sidewinder," and some others I can't remember.
Then on the PC "Terminal Velocity", "Raptor: Call of the Shadow", and "Demonstar"

My top three genres are:
- shoot-em-ups/shmups
- turn-based strategy
- real-time strategy

Shmups with upgradeable ships based on player input & performance are the most entertaining for me. I was weaned on The Guardian Legend, Xevious, R-Type, Image Fight, and Life Force.

On the flipside, turn-based strategy games with fantasy elements are also very high on the list. I have fond memories of Warlords III from my youth, and I am firm in my belief that Stronghold: Crusader and Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic are two of the best games ever made (particularly AoW multiplayer!).
