With gaming often bringing me into a really depressive headspace sometimes with how the markets are developing, whats a game you can always go to and just be lost in, or just be happy with?

Personally i would go for advance wars 1 and 2 on the gba (there is no remake and never will be)

the artstyle, the music, the game-play is just simple, yet effective, a sublime experience of very fun times.

Whats yours?

  • Transport Tycoon, using OpenTTD. If you’ve never played it you can download OpenTTD and use their graphics, sounds, and music replacement sets to play it for free. However as I own the base game I like to keep the original music as it helps to drive the nostalgia.

    I love Doom, and I’ve been playing it since I first got hold of the shareware episode, but when I really need a comfort game it’s almost always Transport Tycoon.

    • I was just thinking about Doom the other day, and how mind-blowing it was when it came out, and being able to play on the network with friends.
      I’d really like someone to make a movie / documentary about it, I’d be fascinated to know how it was developed.
