6. Age Of Empires II -Microsoft
Why Age Of Empires II? Because gamers are secretly huge Barbarossa fans. Man, I love that movie. Jane Fonda rules!
7. Roller Coaster Tycoon Corkscrew Follies -Hasbro
Why a RC Tycoon add-on? Because most of the people who bought the original are too stupid to realize that very little was added here. Very little. But it still has vomit!
8. Starcraft -Havas
Why Starcraft? Because Blizzard has tapped into the cultural zeitgeist and therefore cannot make a game that doesn't sell. Also, the subliminal messages on Who Wants to be a Millionaire help considerably.
9. Janes WWII Fighters -EA
Why Janes WWII Fighters? Because the average computer can finally run the damn thing! Fluffy clouds come at a huge processor/video card price, buddy. The new $14-19 price tag might be a factor as well. Ya think?
10. Sim City 3000 -EA
Why Sim City 3000? Because most people think it's a Sims expansion pack. It isn't, there isn't anything remotely titillating or voyeuristic about Sim City 3000. Well, except maybe that Eiffel Tower....
Until next Monday, please avoid bad games.
