Designers Name the Game That Most Inspires Them

[cerebus23]

i would like to vote for sid meyers pirates on the c64 and others, i mean that was the first game i played where you could get totally lost in time and look at the clock to realize that you had been playing for countless hours and look its 3 am i swear it was 8 or 9 pm and i got school in the am.....

gunship by sid was also amazing, but not quite as time suspending as pirates was.

Pirates! was one of those games I couldn't get enough of. It's weird, the remake recently was very true to the original, but it just didn't GRAB me the way the original did.

agree 100% i dunno if the new one was lacking something or we have just aged and played too many games to get carried away like that anymore. but i felt the same way when i played the new one.

Is this the same Scott Adams who makes the Dilbert comics? He was a programmer/electrical engineer.
