Most successful is certainly Counter-Strike 2D.
Followed by the Stranded series which was also quite popular.
Neither Minigolf Madness nor Carnage Contest ever had a significant user base. Unfortunately
It's possible though that Minigolf Madness had even more players than Carnage Contest because it was on the CD of the German PC magazine PC-Action.
Nothing of this can be reliably proved with data though because I don't have any tracking systems and the games can be downloaded from many different websites.
Why is Stranded III in the poll list? It is not even entirely developed to be shared with other people - judging only by screenshots is plain stupid.
Counter-Strike 2D is indeed the most successful game by DC, no doubt. Stranded series (mostly Stranded II) also had a significant number of players if not overwhelmingly. I can still feel the nostalgia when you play Stranded II and get killed by a lion.
@ GeoB99:Judging by the screenshots? Most of the Reviewer doing so.
@ Ahmad: In fact, everyone has their own opinion. No one argues that cs2d is the best game created by Peter. No politics. No insult. Just your opinion.
@ DC: Each comes to an end.I hope that more and more popular today, Your game will not be lost. Although this is contrary to the foregoing.
I didn't say cs2d was the best game, i said you should change the title to 'the best DC's game' or whatever because it's proven by numbers that cs2d is the most successful so you can't have an opinion about it, gET IT?
@ Assassin moder: I have no numbers to prove, hence imo the Survival Genre was initiated by
a) DayZ
b) The Walking Dead
c) The Hunger Games (in a way; which has its own games of this niche genre/idea)
Stranded II was too early and Stranded III will be a bit too late to hop on the hype train. Although I'm not too certain whether it's gonna hurt S3 or indeed help it.
I played Stranded (I & II) and waiting for the III, but for me, CS2D its the best game... And i hope to make a top for my yt channel for get more ppl for cs2d...
Whoever thinks that CS2D is actually a good game has some serious problems, lol.
I respect DC for all the work he put into that game but its just completely outdated. Even with the "new" light engine 2d still looks like garbage. The bots are ... well... they are as smart as the average user here. Not to mention that theres still no record console command even though thats been requested hundreds of times. CS2D is an average online shooter at best. Its got nothing special to it. Stranded II on the other hand is way more impressive.
