	I understand that a few of these may fit in multiple categories, but use all the examples to come to one conclusion.

	I'm sick of people rating me down for no reason. If you've got genuine problems with the quiz, leave a constructive comment.

	You should accept just "strategy", or maybe leave a bonus answer asking for more specific wording.

	@cantthink: I beg to differ about the source... it's all off of wikipedia Thank you others for good suggestions...

	Well I liked the game.

	I liked the quiz, but I think people run into problems because there's no widely-accepted set of genres. If you Google "video game genres," many of the ones in this quiz won't appear in other lists (or will appear under different names). For example, I had no idea that "maze" would constitute a whole video game genre, and it doesn't show up in most lists.

	I would never think to call SimCity "Construction and Management Simulation." When I got to Spore, the Sims, Nintendogs, I tried "Simulation," then when I got to SimCity, Theme Park, Caesar, I thought, "But that's the same category!" Also, I've never heard of a "Maze" game. If two thirds of your maze examples are really the same game, does that really make it a genre?

	Too many cross-genre games, genres that nobody would ever think of and/or are hardly used or not used at all (maze? tower defense?), and "shooter" should be accepted for at least first-person shooter.
