Everyone loves lists right? I blame all those shows on Channel 4 running through the Top 100 Sock Colours or whatever, that you end up watching coz there is sod all else on.
Well there is a little thread going on rllmuk, asking for people’s top 100 games, I normally scorn “list threads” as something the kids on gamefaqs post about, but I thought hey what the hell, so here goes… I think in the end I ended up a bit retro heavy, but I am an old git these days so I guess that figures.
