- I once read (in a magazine long forgotten) that there were only seven
- different types of computer games and that all other types were simply
- amalgams of the others.
-
- Does anybody actually have a list of these styles? I've been pondering
- over this for years, but I always get bogged down in technicalities (ie
- is Lemmings a God Game in line with Populous, or something else?).
