The question at the end is, "What games you love that everyone else hates?"
I thought we could answer the same question here, only pertaining to klik games in particular.
So, "What klik games you love that everyone else hates?"
Obviously "Hate" is not meant literally, but let's say that my choices just aren't widely regarded as being the best klik games ever but I enjoyed playing them a lot.
I especially look at design in games; graphic design, user interface design, story design; I often try to understand the decisions made by a developer while they were making the game, and that greatly affects my opinion of it.
I always liked Butterfly 660. It got above average reviews but usually lost points for using the default platform engine. I still have it and play it from time to time. There were even outtakes from cutscenes (that were already amazing to watch the first time) if you completed the game!
Also, David Blackwell's games. I've played his games probably more than any other single person's klik games. He made a lot, so that's probably why But he has a great sense of design consistency, like he decided on a "feel" and made a game around that (I tried that with falafel)
I think it would be easier for me to list what I don't like that everyone else loves. That happens quite often. But I'd hate to single out any one in that fashion, so I'll stick with the plan.
Oh wait... I don't know. I think everything I like everyone else likes too, in terms of klik games. But my bad memory is kicking in and I'm having trouble thinking of klik games I've played in the past.

People here LOVE talking about how much they hate games that are popular. I thought of also including that question in the original post but after .. half a second considering what this thread would turn into, I decided not to. Please, please let's not explore that route.

What do you like about it? (honest question) I tried it quickly but didn't give it enough time. I still have it on a CD, so I'll try to give it another shot sometime.
radix's bastard world. Almost everyone dissed the (somewhat) crappy graphics, punishing difficulty and some even complained that the title ("bastard") was insulting.
I liked it quite a lot, and I still play it occasionally.
Tennis 2002! Only joking, the game i really liked that most people let pass them by was Zombie Pwner, i thought the sheer volume of undead that kept appearing invoked quite a bit of panic. Being overcome by the hoards of undead reminded me of the scenes in Day of the Dead when the zombies infest the underground base and take out the soldiers.

I can't quite pinpoint what draws me to it really, it's just the vibe of the thing. I guess I am a sucker for simple concepts. The game was like Lost Vikings (which I love) only with really simple characters and a lovely story. I have to admit the game could do with some variation in the later levels.
