  • Release window covered: 1970 to 2026.
  • 10 games are listed on this page, carrying 4,199 ratings between them.
  • Rankings are recomputed hourly; this one was last rebuilt on 12 October 2026.

03 Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!? Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!? 1996 · 37 ratings Discworld II: Mortality Bytes! is the second point-and-click adventure game based on Terry Pratchett's series of fantasy novels set on the mythical Discworld. The game was developed and produced in 1996 by Perfect Entertainment for the PC, and ported in 1997 for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. It was published by Psygnosis for the PC and PlayStation, and by Sega for the Saturn (only in Europe). In Discworld II the player controls Rincewind the "wizzard" (voiced by Eric Idle, as in the previous game) who has been burdened with the task of coercing Death out of his impromptu retirement and back into his regular duties. The plot borrows from a number of Discworld books, most notably Reaper Man, Moving Pictures and Lords and Ladies. It all begins in a quiet Ankh-Morpork street, where Rincewind and The Librarian inexplicably fail to die from a nearby cart-bomb explosion. The odd event is not shared by them alone however: occurrences of the newly dead re-awakening and disturbing the populace are being reported all over the city, prompting the Archchancellor of Unseen University to halt his usual activities of feasting and merrymaking, and to take charge of the situation. Much to Rincewind's despair, the entirety of this process involves appointing him to the task of finding Death and convincing him to resume his work. 88 /100
04 Riven: The Sequel to Myst Riven: The Sequel to Myst 1997 · 90 ratings Riven: The Sequel to Myst is a graphic adventure puzzle game developed by Cyan and released in 1997.

05 Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo 1996 · 32 ratings The game's title is a parody of Super Street Fighter II Turbo (or Super Street Fighter II X in Japan), as there are no other Puzzle Fighter games, and the game includes music and interface elements spoofing the Street Fighter Alpha and Darkstalkers games. It was a response to SEGA's popular Puyo Puyo 2 that has been sweeping Japanese arcade. A HD-remake version titled Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, is available for purchase on Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade and Sony's PlayStation Network. 85 /100

The horrors they encounter there are far greater than anyone might have foreseen... 79 /100
07 Duke Nukem 3D Duke Nukem 3D 1996 · 450 ratings Aliens have landed in futuristic Los Angeles and it's up to the Duke to bring the pain and show them the door. After the initial entries of side-scrolling platform games, Duke Nukem 3D introduces a first-person perspective to the series and turns the game into a full-fledged shooter with 2.5D graphics. Duke's arsenal includes pistols, pipe bombs, laser trip mines, Nordenfelt guns, a chain gun and various rocket launchers, but also his mighty foot to kick enemies.

08 Myst Myst 2020 · 32 ratings A reimaged version developed by Cyan, this version builds the original from the ground up to enable play in VR and flatscreen PC, with new art, sound, interactions, and optional puzzle randomisation. 72 /100
09 Discworld Discworld 1995 · 55 ratings Discworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist. The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM. 70 /100

It features pre-rendered visuals and a non-linear structure that encourages exploration and observation. Myst became one of the best-selling PC games of its era and influenced the adventure game genre. 55 /100
