[QUOTE="jdrakeh, post: 4390970, member: 13892"] I've recently been trying to trim/grow/shape my RPG collection to match my current fianances and hobby interests. I've finally decided that the best way to this is to just get the most far out, crazy, over the top game for each of the following respective genres: [list][*]Dark Future [*]Fantasy [*]Horror [*]Space Opera[/list] I need candidates for each of the above categories -- games that bring the awesome in almost sickeningly surreal levels, pushing the Envelope of Awesome into the near absurd. Let me tell you what is on the list so far, and you (hopefully) can let me know what I'm missing. [b]Dark Future[/b] SLA Industries (Murder as #1 pop entertainment phenomena!) Cyberpunk 3.0 (Mickey Mouse mecha gangs? Yesssssss.) [b]Fantasy[/b] Deathstalkers (Fantasy with armies of giant, killer, robots! And blue minotaurs!) Senzar (Like anime, but with 100% more Metallica!) [b]Horror[/b] The Shadow Project (Resident Evil meets The Matrix!) Nightbane/Nightspawn (It's like Through the Looking Glass as written by Poe.) [b]Space Opera[/b] Battlelords of the 23rd Century (Bigger guns. More aliens. All on an AD&D 2e clone.) Eventually, I need to narrow it down to one game per category -- or would [I]like[/I] to, anyhow (I know that this might be hard). If you have any case to make for or against the Overpowering Awesome of any game, let it be heard here. [Edit: Moved The Shadow Project to the Horror category after doing a bit more research. Looks like Resident Evil with the "OMFG!" turned up to 11. Removed World of Synnibarr from the list for being non-genre specific.] [/QUOTE]
