Action (11 sub-boards) Action games are perhaps the most basic of gaming genres, and certainly one of the broadest. Action games are characterized by gameplay with emphasis on combat. Moderators: EG | Stryker, EG | MylesMan, R0Y4L R3B3L
Adventure/RPG (5 sub-boards) Adventure games were some of the earliest games created, beginning with Colossal Cave Adventure in the 1970s. That game was originally titled simply "Adventure," and is the namesake of the genre. Over time, graphics have been introduced to the genre and the interface has evolved.

Role-playing games (3 sub-boards) Computer role-playing games draw their gameplay from traditional role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. Most cast the player in the role of one or more "adventurers" who specialize in specific skill sets while progressing through a predetermined storyline. Many involve maneuvering these characters through an overworld, usually populated with monsters, that allows access to more important game locations, such as towns, dungeons, and castles.

Simulation (7 sub-boards) Simulation games aim to simulate an experience, such as flying an aircraft or operating a business, as realistically as practically possible, taking into account physics and other real-world limitations. Moderators: EG | Stryker, EG | MylesMan, R0Y4L R3B3L
Strategy Strategy games focus on gameplay that requires careful and skillful thinking and planning in order to achieve victory. Strategy games may be either turn-based or real-time, and may be considered either "strategy" or "tactical" games. Most strategy games place a specific region or army under the player's control, with factors such as commerce, construction, and management of diplomatic affairs which the player can influence. Some, such as the Civilization series, simulate notable time periods in history. Moderators: EG | Stryker, EG | MylesMan, R0Y4L R3B3L
