Assuming the equipment was also saved so you could still play the games, and every game in existence you don’t mention gets permanently destroyed, and no new games are ever to be made.

Inspired by a video by OutsideXbox from a few years ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what this community would choose. You can choose to be selfish and pick games you personally want to always play, or try to figure out what games would be best chosen for humanity to save for whatever reason. I’d also love to hear why you chose your games. Do they have a special meaning to you? I want to hear your stories.

    I really want to try it out but I’m worried it’ll ruin my life. It looks fun but I really don’t have a ton of time these days for gaming and I don’t want to get super hooked on a game I know I’ll spend way too much time on.

      It is 3am, and after ~60 hours over the last two weeks I have launched my first rocket and gotten the game complete screen. I smile and slowly blink dry, crusty, tired eyes. Finally, I can rest. I have to be to the airport in four hours.

      I couldn’t get past the browness of the graphics. Satisfactory on the other hand…

      I recently started it with the caveat that I’m not allowed to pay without my brother. So he comes by once or twice per month and we go crazy for a few hours.

      If I did it myself I’d lose my job.

      Yeah watch out for this one then. Especially if you get into the mods that turn a 30-50 hour campaign into 500+ hours with 20x more complexity.

          That’s insane. I’ve beaten Bob’s+Angel’s (with a limp to the finish line) in 123 hours. There are many hundred items and thousands of total recipes, many with byproducts in B+A. How is Pyanodons that much longer?

            I’ve done about 6 or 7 bobs and angels runs (all mods) over the years. It’s elementary school compared to pyanodons.

            It’s that much longer due to the complexity and depth of the supply chains. And there is very often many different ways to make the same thing, all with different byproducts to deal with.

              6 or 7 runs of Bob’s and Angel’s? That’s crazy, why did you play it so many times? I gotta get back to attempting to build a mega base in my save :)

                Oh the why is probably autism. I enjoy complex simulations. At the time I thought angels and bobs was the most complex. Actually it often wasn’t enough for me and I’d include some other overhaul mods like yuokai at the same time.

                I’ve also been playing since before factorio was on steam, so my plays are spread out

                  In the early days it was the most complex, but then Pyanodons overtook it. I’d really like to try out Pyanodons someday when I have a more stable career.

                  Have you ever built a megabase in Bob’s and Angel’s?

                    Yeah I think all but the first couple of runs were megabases in the end. LTN for train management was critical for me.
