What I often find missing from any list of game categories is 'Emulators' -- a
lot of emulators are written specifically for console systems, and are
certainly going to be used almost exclusively for playing games.
Can we have an Emulator category? Pretty please? :- )
Also, another place to get inspiration for how to categorize these games is
happypenguin.org, otherwise known as the Linux Game Tome. They categorize as
follows (non-game types in parentheses):
Action
Arcade
Board Games
Cards
(Code Library)
(Documentation)
Emulator
Children/Educational
(Abandoned)
Puzzle
Role Playing
Simulation
Strategy
Interactive Fiction
Toy
(Not yet playable)
