The nice Just Adventure site, devoted to the adventure games genre, has posted a list of the ten best non-adventure games of all times. You can find games like System Schock, Ultima VII, Wasteland or Return to Krondor, an interesting selection.
Here is part of their description of the best non-adventure game in their opinion:
<blockquote>You can play as a man or a woman, you can be a good guy or a bad guy, you can use your intelligence, blast everything to bits or choose a stealthy approach. A very wide variety of weapons is available, from knives and spears to laser and plasma rifles. The combat is purely turn-based, hence there is no need for fast fingers.</blockquote>
Yes you`ve guessed it, Fallout is number one for them too.
