Wizardry is the only good game there.

Hitchhiker’s guide is a funny romp, but you’re gonna need a guide unless you’re very patient, creative, and know a lot about the franchise.
Lode Runner is also a classic available on many platforms.

Lode Runner is the only game there that is still fun to play in 2025.

Douglas Adams deliberately made it absurdly, unfairly hard, because that's the way he liked his adventure games. I can respect that.

All great games. Flight Simulator 1 and 2 are a bit redundant, and while good in their own right, are superseded by later entries. Sargon 3 is a chess machine, and is largely also irrelevant today. The rest all stand on their own though. Trivia Fever is slop.

You're the fucking retard, how can a game be slop if it's in the top 10 best sellers a whole year before you were even able to purchase the game? That just shows how beloved and popular the game was. Super Mario World is a game people praise yet I fail to see any 1989 best sellers lists with it on them.
