Escape from 100 Million BC - just bonkers nuts but produces some fun narratives.?
This is a really great game.

Hell yeah. Waltz into a seedy location, have a bad memory, put a strain on your relationship with your dead war buddy, pin a lead on an innocent gutterpunk, experience a robot crisis of faith. That's my kind of adventure.

You're right. But maybe, in addition to being not good, it's kind of great?

I'm talking about the twilight cards of course, not the "trading encounters", which are the actual encounter of the game, and is actually the heart of the game despite people thinking that the core was suspect framing, bingo, and resource-based CYOA.

Talisman, Runebound, M&M, Western Legends, AH, Firefly, Android... They all tell stories and you can tell people the ins and outs of a play session in the same way you would describing an episode of Firefly or a film about the Old West. In that sense, it just comes down to the perceived quality of the gameplay that defines "Top 5" for most people. In that respect, I have to agree that Android fails, despite my affection for the background. I haven't played Mage Knight or Western Legends (there was one copy on the shelf at my FLGS during one of their holiday sales and I didn't (ahem) pull the trigger) but if they function the same way as the others mentioned in this thread, then they certainly qualify as someone's top 5 (albeit, not mine.)
