Inspired by NaNoWriMo's "magna carta"s, this is a list of things in games that I've liked.

They are here as inspiration, motivation, and as a tribute. I hope to borrow/steal/remix/create with this, to give my own games a bit of the joy these brought me.

These should help step towards the principles I care about in games. What themes are threaded through all these?

• games i love
• JUICY (juice in games)
• Best Game Talks

Ideas for fun unlockables in games.

• game rewards (boss, win)
• Unlockables

• fun unlockables
• Unlockables

What do you get for beating a game? Personal satisfaction? Relief for getting to check another box?

Within a game, why beat this boss? Some mechanic as a reward? Or maybe a dev secret?
