What are some of the best mini-games youve played? (games inside games) (lemm.ee)

I recently played Alien Isolation, and I noticed all of the “hacking” she does on doors and computers are different types of games, like press the button at the right time, or match the images within a timer, etc.

A lot of games have these mini-games, and I was wondering which you think are the best? Or at least, didn’t get old fast?

I can't think of any memorable "hacking" type ones as they all just become a chore by the end. Fable II has some wood chopping, pie making and lute playing that wasn't so bad if you can get a high multiplier going.

As for actual "games within a game" then Shenmue series has many gambling and arcade machines. Roll it On Top, Lucky Hit, Darts and then Arterburner, Space Barrier, Outrun and Hang On.
