They missed a lot of games tho, like.. NO RTS games - C&C and stuff :/

I think RTS would probably fall under current events.

The most common genre these days are RTS, FPS and RPG. Though platformers (at least the 3D variety) are still being made usually are the domain of consoles nowadays.

I seriously doubt that they had even a fraction of historical games in there though.

No Outcast
No Eve-online
No Lemmings

And where is Out of This World? And Flashback? And Hero's Quest and King's Quest... and Space Quest, indeed all the Sierra Quests :?

Off topic, but i reckon it would be possible to to make an Outcast style game these days with meshes using displacement mapping http://www.delphi3d.net/articles/vie...umpmapping.htm
It could make some very nice organic scenery.. One of the reasons why Outcast wasn't as successful as it should have been was its lack of 3D accelleration.. you can't accellerate a voxel. (yet)

I still don't know why they canned Outcast2

Duke Nukem was great! And Doom was the first game to scare the hell out of me. I also played Wolfenstein but the 2D game in Apple IIc, and Duke Nukem in DOS.

Could you imagine the latest 3D titles like Halo and Unreal, adapted for the old consoles and computers?
