This list is for people who are interested & like top-down view games... similarly to people who like first-person shooters, third-person shooters, or side-scrollers. Ah-ha found the correct category
271:, Nerfari is correct in saying that a category isn't better over a list with this amount of information, but especially in the early computer days, most games would be of this nature. A list of this kind would soon grow too large with little advantages from having it in the first place. (If it is kept for some reason, someone should find out its proper name and retitle it). -

If it were a true genre of video games (like first-person shooter), then I can reasonably see a list being helpful because being a similar playstyle, one can use the list to track how the genre changed over time or the major publishers for it. But a list of games that are related not by play style
