Pix Ranks the Origin Games (40-31)

Origin historian Pix, inspired by this recent Spam Spam Spam Humbug podcast episode, continues his effort to rank every single Origin Systems game, from his least favourite to his most favourite.

It either says something for the quality of Origin’s output or my own levels of fanboy-ism just how much I liked the games I’m already up to on this list. Something I have noticed compiling this is that I do have a tendency to like the more unusual games. When I was effectively forcing myself to play through all these titles, something a little different was often welcome. As such, you can definitely expect to see some of Origin’s more outlandish titles as I work down to #21 next time.

The games on this list include, in order: Ring Quest, Times Of Lore, Ultima 1, Knights Of Legend, Caverns Of Callisto, Strike Commander, Runes Of Virtue, Runes Of Virtue 2, Ultima 3, and Tangled Tales. As noted in the quote above, he is already well into the category of games he has genuinely enjoyed, which probably speaks to the overall quality of the games that Origin Systems produced.
