World games is yet another Olympics style sports game. This time with the theme of games from around the world. Each game is unique in that it originated in the country its set in. Very clever idea. But it's still a sports game and still a game I just can't get into. But if it means anything, I enjoyed this better than the last Summer Games. Plus I got to play it on the Amiga, and the Amiga looks gorgeous.
And that finishes up 1986! That means we get to decide Game of the Year 1986 and the winner of this is obviously:
Legend of Zelda.
Was there really any contest? Well, because that game is so obviously first contender for Game of the Year, let's look at other games that came out that year who could be considered Runners up:
Alter Ego: An RPG who's decisions early on shape your character. It's basically like a giant word tree, but it was incredibly fun.
Darius: The Most amazing looking game I've played on this list to date. I haven't been blown away by graphics like this since Galaxian, the first game in RGB color.
Kid Icarus: It's like a more linear Zelda game that really caught me off guard.
Dragon Quest: If it hadn't been for zelda, this game would have won. It may not be as original, but You could argue that it was even MORE influential than even Zelda. Zelda was just more fun to play though.
Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels: What can I say? It's more Mario, what more could you want?
Up next: Super Hang On
