This is 100% subjective and my own opinion, nothing more. Games were chosen on the basis of how awesome the game was and how often I go back and play them. Why 17? Because it’s an odd number, very odd.

My apologies to Assassin’s Creed 2. I love you, but your publisher Ubisoft was an absolute turd with the obnoxious and pathetic DRM required to play on the PC. I despise Ubisoft, not Ezio, for making one of my top 10 games of the decade unplayable on my platform of choice. Sure, it’s been somewhat “fixed” now, but I have not forgotten, as Ubisoft has not repented.

After singling out the worst PC games ever made, the task of tackling the best PC games is now being attended! This is 100% subjective and my own opinion, nothing more.

This is the top 17 most freaking awesome 1990′s pc games I’ve played (and continue to play!)

Games were chosen on the basis of how awesome the game was and how often I go back and play them. Why 17? Because it’s an odd number, very odd.

This is a video I made after reading and enjoying an article in Retro Gamer magazine issue 84 – the article detailed the best 20 adventure games that weren’t made by LucasArts and I liked the cut of its gib! So, I decided so spend a bit of time (read: a lot of time) making this video so that people can enjoy the article in a more visual manner.

Known problems with the video include:
My rubbish narration
No footage for Game 16 and barely any screenshots available
Generally quite rough around the edges

But hopefully it’ll still be enjoyable to a few of you and fingers crossed it will highlight some games to you that perhaps you’ve never played, or maybe you’ve played before but wouldn’t mind another crack at it. All in all, I just want this to spark a bit of debate and a bit of nostalgia.

If people like this, I’ll endeavour to make more in the future.

This is the top 17 worst pc games that I’ve ever seen, and that I own. I actually collect these games somewhat, seeking out the worst crap as a matter of twisted pride and a weird guilty pleasure of perverted taste in games.

Games were chosen of basis of effort made vs end result, bugginess, lack of gameplay and/or fun, hype vs disappointment, and personal preference in comparison to other similar games. Why 17? Because it’s an odd number, very odd.

A few people have asked me who all the faces were at the end of the video (I wish I had included their names in the video along with their pictures). In order of appearance after Ken and Roberta: Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe (“Space Quest” designers, as the Two Guys from Andromeda), Al Lowe (creator of “Leisure Suit Larry”), Christy Marx (“Conquests of Camelot” and “Conquests of the Longbow” designer, beautifully rendered holding Excalibur on the cover of “Sierra Magazine”), Lori and Corey Cole (creators of the “Quest for Glory” series), Josh Mandel (“Freddy Pharkas” co-designer, who also contributed to a wide variety of Sierra On Line products), Mark Seibert (musician and composer of some of Sierra’s most famous themes) and Jane Jensen (best known as the designer of the Gabriel Knight series). Of course, so many other wonderfully talented and hardworking people from Sierra no doubt also deserve recognition for their work in providing us with such great entertainment over the years. I also wish I had been able to include all of them in this video. Finally, someone mentioned that the end of the video seems a bit random with magazine and game box covers, but that run-through is just to show the incredibly prolific nature of Sierra and its evolving and consistently top quality products over nearly 20 years.
