That's some good stuff. I'll make sure to keep that list handy for when I establish my secret base on a small, uncharted island.

[Jakub]

Wow, that's old-school :)

[Euri]

That's also highly abridged.

[Derek Meister]

Yeah, why not go straight for the original Top 100 ... (www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html) list. ;)

[Andrew Mayer]

That's also highly abridged.

But is it abridged too far?

So if you guys had to pick, what game off the top of your head would you imagine hits the most of these cliches?

I think the movie Star Wars hits the largest number, but if we're only considering games..... Baldur's Gate II?

Nah. Austin Powers went out of it's way to hit as many as possible for a movie.

For a game...I'm thinking Ultima. The Guardian just kept egging the Avatar on each game until he finally got tagged by the now uber-hero. A little well-placed smacking early in the game and the Guardian would have been safe.
