I feel like whatever I choose from this year I'm doing injustice to other games.
I loved Populous
I loved Quest for Glory
I loved Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
I loved Rick Dangerous
I loved Golden Axe
I loved It came from the Desert
I loved Prince of Persia
I loved Millennium 2.2
...and so many more

But I cannot vote for anything other than SimCity - that game was just something very different.

It came from the Desert is also this year? I never played the game, but - plot twist - watched the movie that was made in honour of it. The movie had game scenes at the end as outro which was very fun. The game is on my list to try out somedays.

EDIT: Movie trailer for anyone interested. Also note, this is not a movie that came alongside, it was a hommage to the game 30 years later.

Never watched that movie - didn't know it even exists, given that the game was homage to 1950s B monster movies...set in 1950s as well and heaving really nice 50s vibe. Honestly, from the trailer, this movie does not speak to me - I can only imagine what proper It Came from the Desert movie would look like if it was Wes Anderson project, with cinematography like in Asteroid City.
