I think, and I may be wrong here, that first came from M.U.L.E.(83), but it's sort of twinned with the Civilization tree.Tiamat666 said:I think you missed the Sim City/Settlers/Caesar/Populous type, real-time "build and expand" games.
I'm pretty sure... well, I know there were first person flight games well before that. I vaguely remember playing something called Skyfox [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyfox] on the Apple IIe as a kid. But, yeah, something on the flight sim/dogfighting/whatever games probably should have been included.Nurb said:RIP Origin. We will never again fly as a space fighter pilot in another Wing Commander
Thanks for pointing that out, I never really considered it an amalgamation of other genres before but it makes sense. Where is this Genre Wheel? It's probably something I should see after all these years.Greg Tito said:We specifically only wanted to highlight specific genres in our genre wheel. While Grand Theft Auto 3 was definitely a game that spawned many imitators, it is a mixture of different genres like driving, brawler, shooter and RPG. Open world or sandbox games aren't a genre but more of a quality that some games have.MintyNinja said:I was honestly expecting Grand Theft Auto to be on this list. Don't know what to think now that it's not there. meh.
