Post Mortem (for one)

NOpe not to late. Got the last post!

Hi all,
Another year, and a new list. But not a new number 1. It must really be a good game!
As usual, two lists follow, one numerical, one alphabetical.
I have used full as well as alternate titles where I have known them. I no doubt missed a few. In the numeric list, I tried to use actual titles, the games on my shelf having the final say. In the alphabetical list, I have taken some liberties with names to get series together where possible. It wasn’t always, so on a couple of occassions I have marked a game as a sequel.
Thanks to Chief who verified the count, and if errors remain, they are all mine.
Finally, after 10 years it has been decided to retire some well perfoming games to a Listing Hall of Fame, on the basis that it is clear they should be played. The Muckys are conferring and analysing the lists over the years, and we will post the outcome in due course.
Thanks again to everyone that participated
And happy playing

Thank you flotsam and Chief! Printing it up now before devouring it.

Fantastic job flotsam and Chief! It's always exciting to see the results!

Ana

Thanks for all your hard work, flotsam and Chief!

Excellent work Flotsam thank you.

I am not quite sure what this means though...

Bravo to flotsam for his hard work on keeping the Topic of The List alive and going and on doing the counting and printing the results.

A job well done.


Chief

GreyFuss,
It means we'll have a permanent "Hall of Fame" for games like Gabriel Knight 2, which have consistently been in the Top Ten on the Twisty List. On future Twisty Lists, Hall of Fame games will no longer be eligible for people to vote on. This will make room for other games on future Twisty lists.

Thanks Jenny100 for the clarification. I assume then that we will be going back to giving our top ten games.

Whats a Twisty?
