Definitely going to need multiple genres for this. Its too hard to compare something like Gauntlet (arcade) with Civ 3 or Pirates!

Maybe something like this:
Arcade
Classic Console (80's-96 or so? When was the 64 released?)
Modern Console
Classic PC (80's-mid 90's again, with the line drawn at the release of Duke Nukem!)
Modern Shooter/Arcade-style PC (for things like CS)
Modern Other PC (for games like Civ 4)

Just a thought.

Anyhow, Bard's Tale definitely needs a Classic PC nomination, and I thought Civ 2 was easily the worst of the series.
