So I sold my Switch and all my Switch crap because it had been sitting unused for months and decided to see about emulating any Switch games I hadn't played and had wanted to aaaaaaaaaaaaand.......there wasn't any.

Guess it was a good decision.

BTW emulating Switch is ridiculously easy.

Aw yeah, now THIS is my kinda list challenge!

52/136

Man, a lot less than I expected. Some on here I'd never even HEARD of, let alone played. Damn good challenge.

39, but I wish it was 37. Ben there, Dan That and Time, Gentlemen Please! were complete and utter wastes of time that don't deserve space on that board. Especially when they apparently took the place of more Larry sequels, or Eric the Unready, and so many other worthy adventure titles.

... I got one. Myst.

Though I should note that I grew up in a household that very much did not approve of gaming.

I think I have some of these games in my GoG account, I should give them a whirl.

I liked Ben There, Dan That and its sequel. They're fun. I've played much worse adventure games.

I'm glad Wadjet Eye got at least one game in there. Apparently, the guy who made this had a personal cut-off point of 2009. Which is a shame because that misses out on the Kickstarter renaissance brought about by Double Fine, and gems like Dropsy, Kathy Rain, Thimbleweed Park, Fran Bow, Oxenfree, and the Cat Lady.

7, never been much of an adventure game guy but I did love the old Sierra Quest for Glory games since they were more than just trying to profile the person who wrote the puzzles.

You should play Riven, too. The rest of the series...eh, up to you.

I got 14, though of course the number I own is higher than that, and the number of games I've actually played is technically lower since I also included games I "substantially participated" in (over my wife's shoulder, mainly) and not just games I, personally, have played through from beginning to end.

42. And I'm with @GasBandit ... there are many other, more interesting titles and sequels that could have been on there, like The Black Watchmen, The Charnal House Trilogy, Gemini Rue, and Return of the Obra Dinn.

I did play Myst 3: Exile when my friend at university lent me the discs. Well I say "play" but it was more like "follow a walkthrough that gave me specific instructions for everything because I'm too stupid and/or busy to figure it out myself".

All of which came after 2009, which the original poster explains was the cut off for this particular list.

Ahh... true. Didn't even look at the twitter thread. That'd also keep out Memento Mori, Minotaur (which isn't even finished, truthfully), Orwell, Kentucky Route Zero, To the Moon, Wailing Heights, Analogue: A Hate Story, Detention, Devotion, and a bunch of other good picks.

I guess... Post Mortem? That's 2002 and the first game in the Still Life series.

Myst 3 was the first one made by a different puzzle crew (the same people who did the Journeyman Project series), where the puzzles were not as "organic" as the ones in Myst/Riven, and instead were just "puzzles for the sake of puzzles." The first two are "must play," the rest are more "...if you're a completionist."

Playing New Vegas for the nth time, and I started the Dead Money DLC. My memory of the first time I played Dead Money was hating it, and this time I'm playing on hardcore/very hard so I expected to be miserable.

But... I loved it. I was like, "Why did I hate this DLC?"

Then I got to the part just inside the vault. Holograms, unkillable, very kill-y holograms everywhere. And suddenly all my hatred came flooding back. I think I might be stuck. Might have to swallow my pride and lower the difficulty.

There's like a 20 page thread on a large gaming forum all about complaining that Starfield won't have a seamless planet to space transition and holy shit am I unable to grasp why this is important. It's a Bethesda game darlings, it's going to be held together by gum and wishes.

Wow, I recently mentioned ZZT, and now it gets casually mentioned as Epic Games's first game, in a retroreview of their second game: Jill of the Jungle. Oh my childhood.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II continues to be a buggy mess.

Developer Admits There's No Way To Complete KOTOR II On Switch

There's a bug that causes the game to crash after a cut-scene about halfway through the game.

Are all classic RPGs that get ported to the Switch just riddled with major bugs? Because I've heard so many bad things about Planescape; Torment, Baldur's Gate, and Icewind Dale.

I haven't even heard anything about the ports good or bad.
