Ordered from 1978 (year before I was born) to today, this is a guided tour through the entire history of the medium, from the arcade cabinets I used to pump hundreds of 10p pieces into through to the modern masterpieces still being made. Every genre, every era, every must-play. You will not agree with all of it, and that is half the fun. Pick one, start playing, and work your way through a lifetime of greatness.

No publishers, no focus groups, no committees, just small teams and big ideas. These are the indie games that ran rings around the blockbusters, ranked by critic score. Some were made by a single person in a bedroom, some redefined entire genres, and all of them prove you do not need a Hollywood budget to make something unforgettable. From the game that started the whole indie boom to the roguelike that ate everyone's spare time, here is the best of the little guys. Bring a notepad and an open evening.
