What I often find missing from any list of game categories is 'Emulators' -- a 
lot of emulators are written specifically for console systems, and are 
certainly going to be used almost exclusively for playing games.

Can we have an Emulator category? Pretty please? :- )

Also, another place to get inspiration for how to categorize these games is 
happypenguin.org, otherwise known as the Linux Game Tome. They categorize as 
follows (non-game types in parentheses):

Action
Arcade
Board Games
Cards
(Code Library)
(Documentation)
Emulator
Children/Educational
(Abandoned)
Puzzle
Role Playing
Simulation
Strategy
Interactive Fiction
Toy
(Not yet playable)
Game-related Utility
