Question of the week: favorite video game
For last week we talked a little bit about computer game soundtracks, which begs the obvious question.
What is your all-time favorite video game? Like the one you keep coming back to play again and again. No wrong answers, obviously.
For me, I think it comes down to a toss-up between two. The oldest one is MASTER OF MAGIC from 1994, though I think the remake from 2022 is a worthy successor. Admittedly the 2022 remake took a bunch of patches to get there, but the original version from 1994 also required many patches, so it’s just continuing the original game’s legacy. 🙂 The newer one is SKYRIM, which I have been playing on and off since 2011, and even though I (finally) beat the main campaign during COVID in 2020, I still keep coming back to it.

Have you found exiled kingdoms yet
Heard of it, but haven’t played it.
Well this is an easy one. Diablo and then Lands of Lore. Patrick Stewart really did give the King Richard character gravitas.
Final fantasy 14. An mmo with an amazing story and an amazing community.
World of Warcraft – although I’m not very good at anything but the Auction House.
Conquest of the New World – a DOS turn based strategy game that I’ve played for 30 years now.
My current favorite game is “Spelljammer – Pirates of Realmspace”. I really like the Spelljammer campaign setting and bought everything, except this game. I saw it in a shop, but the shop was closed. When I came back, it had disappeared. I looked out for this game for ages, but could not find it.
Just recently I found it on GOG.
Skyrim, hands down.
