I consider myself to be a game connoisseur, in that I play many different genres.  However, by sheer number of games currently owned, my favorite genre appears to be strategy/simulation: I own Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos/Frozen Throne, Rome: Total War, Civilization IV, The Sims 2, SimCity 4, and Advance Wars 2, to name a few.

However, my favorite GAMES of all time are mostly platforms/rpgs... Metroid Prime, Zelda: A Link To The Past, Super Mario Brothers 3, etc.

I've played Zork. It was dark. I was eaten by a Grue.

Fixed. And can select more options. Too lazy to put example games, but you guys know what they are anyway.

Myst and Zork aren't Action/Adventure, they're Adventure. Action/Adventure is what platformers used to be called and I guess what stuff like Zelda is still kind of called.

Strategy and Simulation shouldn't be grouped together, either, technically.

You're more of a general gaming expert than I am; you can change it if you like. :P

RPGs, then platformers/action games, platformers often belong to the action genre.
You just wasted previous seconds of your life if you read this signature which doesn't really contain anything interesting.

Perhaps there should be an all inclusive choice for fans of combination genre games.

Platformers are my favourite genre but I also like playing FPS, RPG's, adventure and fighting games as well.
