Basically i have to make a report on the milestones in video gaming, as well as how you would go about pitching a game idea to an investor. We have been told a large jump for your mark will be statistics, so it would probably help my cause if i could canvas my own little area of gamers.

This is for college btw, im not doing this out of insanity.

No reason is needed, just tell me your 1 or 2 favorites out of the video game genre's out there. (Ex FPS, RPG, MMORPG etc.)

Thanks much.

    RPGs and flight simulators (could that be considered a genre or is it a part of something larger? I'm talking the Ace Combats and such)

    Side scrolling action-platformers (think Castlevania), anything that might fall under the action-adventure category (which is pretty fucking broad)

    I also have a thing for shmups, though you don't see too many of those these days.
