    Can I nitpick... Turok is a game that was on a Nintendo console, it's not a Nintendo game though (not developed by Nintendo)

    Same with megaman actually

    I loved the varied answers here. But our top two...

    One went

    Why did Werewolf not count as a text only game?

    I had issues defining it myself tbh. It's not a video game though.

    There are video games such as Town of Salem and Werewolves Within but they aren't text based so it kinda fell in between the cracks.

    It can be played on a computer but it's not a computer/video game essentially.

    Skyrim is still the greatest game of all time.

    This is a blatant lie, if we were in WW I'd be lynching you, the greatest game of all time is Jonah Lomu Rugby, until you've seen your team move up the field like a bunch of sherman tanks you haven't lived

    Question 7: Name a sports simulation game


    ACES - 1:

    Jonah Lomu Rugby - GreenAndRed

    Thanks for running it Necro, Bowser Jnr really let me down, I was trying to be too smart.

    BUT I definitely want a recount, I'm glad QB brought it up because it was outrageous that werewolf and codenames weren't allowed.
    You didn't ask for a video game, you asked for a computer game and look, here we are on our computers only using text.
    I'm refusing to acknowledge Electric Nitwits 13th place and Builebeags 14th place.

    Outraged

    I agree with Necro on the WW thing. Ive looked up definitions for text based games and for WW on wiki, and there is no alignment between them. Tough call, but fair.
