The original prototypical city builder game, before the PC genre was really branded. No other city builder I know of has ever made the interplay of economics this tactile. Hours of zen tweaking and balancing rewarded with a flourishing ant farm community of little settlers going about their tiny tasks!

I have no favorite game because there are so many I love that it’s just impossible to choose. Anyway, I’m mostly into C64 and Amiga games (but, of course, I’ve also seen/played many games on many other systems).

Nonlinear, immense, immersive and with a great character system.

I used to play Theme Park when I was a teenager. It was insanely addicting and fun! I played it for hours at a time and it must have made my mom worry a bit. I guess it didn’t come as a surprise that I made a profession out of games later on.

Some italian ones that are hard to be properly translated in english 🙂

It was on a game compilation I got with my first computer (c64), and I just loved the “speech” whenever you started a new game. “STAY AWHILE…. STAY FOREVER!”

“Every moment is fun and every moment I care no matter how many times I play it. I’ve always loved Chrono Trigger for that- for being so good to me.”

The bionic arm made you feel like a badass all the way through the game, and allowed you to do some really cool things once you got some skill. All the music maintained the consistent military theme while being catchy and inspiring – every once in a while I’ll go download and listen to some remixes of the level 1 theme.

I actually discovered this game a little later than most gamers. As I didn’t own a Dreamcast I had to wait for the GameCube release a few years later. It was unfortunately not a big hit in France and quite difficult to find in stores. Despite these accessibility issues, I’ve had tremendous fun playing this game. I think it’s the RPG that occupied me for the longest time (120 hours). I’ve completed the main story and almost all of the secondary missions.

The Civilization Series had a major impact on my whole gamer life and I do not regret a single hour I have spent building up empires and ruling the world virtually.

I can’t help it, it’s so perfect, so seminal. All ‘collect-everything’ games started here. The setting is absurd: colored ghosts, yellow dots, a pizza-like avatar… That’s what I miss most in current games, and what keeps me going back to classics: no ‘realism’, just a different, weird gameworld, with different rules, set up with very scarce resources, and yet it works and is addictive, balanced, brilliant. Unique.

It’s my favourite quote because I think it sums up why it is I wanted to be in the game industry in the first place. I loved fantasy books as a kid, and creating video games is the closest to true magic that I think you can get- creating worlds where anything is possible, and where not only can you tell stories but you can help people create stories about themselves.

No game has inspired me as much as this one. Most of my inspiration comes from sound and music, and as a 7 year old when I found this rummaging through my parents bedroom, it blew my mind when I first played it.

Quick, dirty, elegant, funny and straight to the point. Distilled essence of 4X with Cowboy speech events AND multiplayer network support LONG before that was cool.

This was a blend of real time strategy and first person shooters – it took the two most popular genres on the PC at the time and combined them in their entirety. Add to that an amazing outdoor graphics engine and a story which was so clever I almost believed in it myself.

The best games combine action and strategy and my other favorites Airborne Ranger of Project Stealth Fighter on the C64 did that brilliantly, as well as Frontier Elite 2 on the Amiga. Oh and I can’t help but mention the brilliant Nethack on PC too!

My fondest memory was catching Carmen Sandiego, feeling all awesome that I caught the bad guy. For an educational game at that time, it definitely didn’t seem like it. I was having too much fun trying to capture suspects and travelling around the world.
