Riven: The Sequel to Myst

bpops's rating:
250

bpops says: Continuing with the Myst franchise is Riven. Note: you may need to occasionally put down your mouse (but NEVER, EVER your beer) to write some notes. Recommended: stouts (e.g. Guinness)

Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga

bpops's rating:
250

bpops says: The only keyboard stroke that I ever found particularly useful was the spacebar for pausing the game during combat. However, clicking the clock button with your cursor will do the job just fine. Recommended: Mead (from a wooden tankard if available)

Baldur's Gate 2 Complete

bpops's rating:
250

bpops says: Like it's predecessor, BG II represents some of the finest PC gaming, period -- but it also requires minimal use of the keyboard, and can be played especially well with a beer in one hand. Recommended: Dos Equis.

Longest Journey, The

bpops's rating:
250

bpops says: Another incredible, immersive world that leaves one hand free to hold your fermented vegetable drink. Visit two amazing juxtaposed worlds as April Ryan. Recommended: any hybrid beer (e.g. smoked beers, fruit beers, ...)

Fallout

bpops's rating:
250

bpops says: The turn-based structure of this fantastic RPG means you don't need "both hands on the wheel." Sit back, relax, and enjoy a brew throughout this epic journey set in a post-apocalyptic future. Recommended: Any bottled beer (keep your caps!)

Fallout 2

bpops's rating:
250

bpops says: Can't get enough of the wasteland? In Fallout 2, you'll search for the fabled Garden of Eden Creation Kit (GECK), a device which "turns the wastes into a fruitful paradise." Recommended: Hoegaarden.

Syberia

bpops's rating:
250

bpops says: Do you like trains? Woolly mammoths? Robots? ...beer? The original atmosphere will draw you in and provide 3/4 of these awesome things. You provide the last. Recommended: Ice-cold beer straight out of an ice chest (or snow if available).

Syberia 2

bpops's rating:
250

bpops says: If you're still playing Syberia at this point, you've probably gotten frostbite. Yes, I think you're looking a little whiter than normal. And you're missing fingers. Recommended: Pale Ale.

RollerCoaster Tycoon: Deluxe

bpops's rating:

bpops says: This brilliant game is as fun as it is easy to play with one hand. I'm not a huge simulation/tycoon fan, but this one is a blast. Recommended: any beer you like, just don't spot the desk -- please use a coaster!

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)

Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!

So, what are the ingredients?

Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?

Justify your choice... Or not!

OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.
