PC Gamer Has Good Taste, Posts Chart 29 Oct, 2002 / Comments: 19

By Jake


PC Gamer has posted another of their frequent "Best 100 PC games of all time" lists, chronicling, well, the best games of all time. As usual, a number of LucasArts adventure classics have made the list. Here they are:
    9. Grim Fandango
    27. Monkey Island 2
    44. Day of the Tentacle
    47. Sam & Max Hit the Road
Obviously the second half of the list is superfluous and not worth reading.

    Is Black and White on there anywhere?

    Black and White is Number 31

    It might be worth noting that some other LucasArts games made it into the top 100. Here is a complete list:

    09: Grim Fandango
    27: Monkey Island 2
    33: Tie Fighter
    35: Jedi Knight
    44: Day of the Tentacle
    47: Sam & Max Hit the Road
    99: Jedi Knight II

    Note that at 35 is Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, and NOT Jedi Knight II.

    They should have something like the most influential games of all time... ... and grim fandango IS at the peak of adventure gaming goodness.

    My best guess would be in a PC Gamer magazine.

    I like the newspaper headline quality of the subject of this piece of news. I also enjoyed the cheesy retro ambiance.

    I made best of the forum twice, and that small black and white picture in the same article is me. :D

    cool :) - unfortunately it's not sold in germany, but that event is worth a mixnmojo news-post with scan, isn't it?
  • Remi O on 30 Oct, 2002, 08:37…
    It may or may not be here
  • matt on 30 Oct, 2002, 13:11…
    seems it's not
  • Remi O on 30 Oct, 2002, 14:25…
    Hmmm... Strange... It was when I posted it.
  • Emma on 30 Oct, 2002, 14:48…
    Maybe it doesn't work for direct links?
  • Remi O on 30 Oct, 2002, 15:33…
    Very true. Copying and pasting http://taure.topcities.com/BOTFIss116.jpg works.
