Obviously, the hardware category is easy-none of these recognized excellent consoles can compete with a platform that already has most of the gaming history. Between PC accessibility, modification, and sheer diversity, it must get your vote. Don’t let me put pressure on you, but I will less consider your choice of anything else.
As for the game category, it’s a bit tricky. There are so many incredible games, so the 20 lists will naturally miss a lot of classics. As a strategic nerd, I am heartbroken by the lack of civilization, Lord of Orion, Lord of Crusade, and Warcraft. Without these legends, is there anything that tickles you?
