It's not that I hated it, it's just that it didn't seem like a big improvement over Red Alert. IMHO, I thought Red Alert was an improvement over the original C&C, and that Red Alert 2 was an improvement over Red Alert. Tiberian Sun played the same as the other games, but it still felt like a step back from Red Alert. Plus I didn't dig the sci-fi setting.

try Dune 2000 ;)

[the xenon]

1. Jagged Alliance 2
2. UT
3. Counter-Strike!!!!!

:D :x :t

[fishninja007]

1) Starcraft - Still play every couple nights.
2) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (original on NES) - I must have poured thousands of hours into that game as a kid.
3) Super Mario Bros - Still play whenever I drink too much.

----------

On another note, what makes a game you enjoy?

I like games that are hard, but not so much you get discouraged. Remember that "Dragons Lair" arcade game. You paid like 50 cents to die in 3 seconds. That sucked. Online games are usually good since playing against other people there is usually someone better than you so it stays kinda hard. TMNT was also really hard.

At the other end of the spectrum I also like games that are easy enough you can just kind of mindlessly do them while doing other things. Mario, Rampart, Windows Solitare, Contra (with the Konami code), GTA3 all fall into that category.

I don't usually get addicted to games that are in the middle or don't really have a goal. RPGs, Diablo, most flight sims (although Gunship2000 rocked) don't do much for me... What about y'all?

[flyingV]

Tiberian Sun have great improvement over the graphics, but the gameplay are somewhat "uninteresting".

Well, I bought the game when it just came out. Didn't even play through it. Even with the high-end computer I have now I don't even want to play it much. Just keep waiting on the series.

[urchinismemphis]

im not gonna name my favorite games of all time cause its to hard , but ill tell u what im stuck on at the moment in order of the amount i play them

1. Soldier Of Fortune 2 Multiplayer Test
2. Jedi Knight 2 (light sabers rule)
3. Elder Scrolls 3 : Morrowind

they all are great games and games that i think no one has mentioned , maybe cause there to new, who knows

[snowfall]

Mohaa has got to be the best game of all time
next is counter-strike
i donno why i chose those fps, i'm suppose to be a rpg person.

[[gg]Daedalus]

OMG I can't decide!

Top Five Games Ever According to Daedalus
-UT
-HalfLife
-Starcraft
-Mechwarrior 4
-Tribes 2

I guess I'm in to graphics and multiplayer capabilities. It's hard to leave out MOHAA and JKII... **** YOU! That's a hard question!:)

[gibsinep]

1. Jagged Alliance 2

I can play a fps in 30 minute chunks, which is all my schedule will allow. I wish I had the free time to get into a good rpg but I do have to earn a living sometime.:p

[herosrest]

A l i e n s V e r s u s P r e d a t o r

Looking at the game closely to see its faults is quite hard because of its speed and unbelievable hardness.
If your looking for an alternative to Quake/2/3 or Unreal,
your in the wrong place.
This game is for fast reflexes, good hand-eye coordination, and most of all, a good deal of patience.

Freeze Tag and Dodge Ball

[Wayniac]

I don't think you can easily give a definitive answer. There's just so many games out there and gaming platforms!

But..there are some games I still come back to.

PC:

#1 Interstate '76

This game is just pure fun. There is hardly any time limit - you just drive a car around thousands of square miles of desert - hunting baddies down and blowing them to bits.

The whole way this game is put together - despite being old now - is just class. It's got a very convincing 70's theme to it and the characters are very convincing. It's also got some great humor to it. If you love the muscle car this game is tops; you really do get a feel for slamming a V8 down a long Nevada highway! The physics are very accurate and intuitive, and the sounds are excellent.

I like the way this game encourages you to explore, to try and pull off a few stunts and just have fun. The scope of this game lasts more than a few hours due to of it's sheer scale number of car/ammo variants. It also offers LAN and WAN options (if you can still find a host, sob).

If you love driving games you will find this a real gem. More than just a quick blast.


#2 Jedi Knight II

Ace! This game's so good Mr. Lucas could have made another film out of it.

From the excellent graphics (make sure Direct 3D is enabled), to the surround sound and brilliant gameplay, Jedi Knight II puts the player right in the heat of the action. It's right up there with the likes of Quake and Unreal.

The variations in scenario are also very convincing; you're taken from death stars to imperial cargo freighters, right through to other planets and its sheer scale means you'll be on it for months.
The characters are very well thought out.

The only downside I can think of, it that like Quake the gameplay can seem fairly linear at times, but every so often the player comes across a set of puzzles to complete or platforms to get across so all is not lost.

An awful lot of development time must have been spent on this game and it certainly shows. Any Star Wars fan should not be without it!


3# Carmageddon

A bit dated now, but a great title for those stress-busting moments when you need to let off steam!

You basically drive about completing courses and obliterating every other driver as well as pedestrians. Some courses are massive and there's a huge array of vehicles to fight.

Things to note about this game are: 1) Get the uncut version so that the zombies look like Zombies and splatter accordingly and most importantly 2) Use the cheat! Without the cheat this game would simply be too frustrating. But use the cheats to freeze the time limit and fix your car and the scope of this game suddenly transforms your experience.

The variations of car damage and the car's physics are very good, and the driver can - by earning credits - soup his machine up so high that it becomes almost indestructible! You'll need it on the later levels though, as the police reinforcements and other drivers get real nasty.

One of the best parts of this game are the stunts you can pull off. You're actively encouraged to drive off the rooftops and ram other cars of the face of the planet. There level designs are also very well thought out. The gore and violence are nowhere near as bad as people make out, either.

The only downside is the graphics. The game needs a very fast CPU to run, especially if you choose the Hires option. However there is a Voodoo version.

It's mindless mayhem of the most enjoyable caliber! :-)


CONSOLE'S

#1 GTA III (PS2)


Unlike most of the console games these days, Grand-Theft-Auto III has enough to keep you hooked for ages. You just go around town stealing cars and causing general mayhem as best you can - you don't have to do the missions if you don't want to.

This game has great grafix, brilliant music and is extremely comical in its execution.

The vehicles you steel really look and sound like they're being battered to pieces and there's some clever PS2 FX used when you pull off a nifty stunt. The level design is also complex enough not as not to bore the pants off you after 10 min's playtime.

You'll find it hard to put this one down. Brilliant.


#2 Need-for-Seed (3D0)

Forget the PSX/PC versions - this was the first and best version of this realistic driving sim. The way the cars handle (and crash) is extremely realistic, and the whole thing is recorded in surround sound with "sampled" engine noises.

The game levels are few in number, but the grafix more than make up for it.

Want to know what it feels like to take a Ferrari Testorosa round a blind bend at 200 MPH? Get this!

The company that produced this game (Electronic Arts) also made the 3D0 version of Road Rash. Both these games are gems: very well polished and unmatchable on any other platform. Forget the other platform versions.


#3 Ghouls 'n' Ghosts (Import version - Megadrive)

Proves you don't need to get knee-deep in 3D to play a good game. Basically a platformer, put together very well. The graphics and sound are excellent.

Written in the days when gameplay mattered!


Well, these are my favorite games. Sorry for the rather lengthy review! :t

[Blue Hawk]

[bassman]

[grimfandango]

Freespace
and
Freespace2
Commandos2



:t

[szyn]

Quake 1

Played it since the demo and still to this day participate in tounaments. No other game has held my attention longer than 6 months, but Q1... 6 years! Still the fastest FPS ever.

[jglaysher]

PC: Homeworld - truly unique and addictive.

Nintendo SNES: Zelda: A Link to the Past - fond memories.

[BipolarBill]

Single player - Clive Barker's Undying. You will get the willies from that one.

Multiplayer - Quake 1 (nods to szyn). Can I axe you a question? Too bad that the net code was so primitive.

[Hierodule]

1) Planescape: Torment (& the rest of Black Isle's CRPGs)
2) System Shock 2
3) Clive Barker's Undying
4) Gabriel Knight series from Sierra
5) Unreal
6) Quake 1 & 2
7) American Magee's Alice
8) The Longest Journey
9) Tomb Raider (even if it feels too "PlayStationy" at times)
10) Duke Nukem

[No Kukae]

Just finished building my first PC. Dual 1 gig P3s with a GeForce 2 64meg Ti. Any game or program recommendations to find out how it would perform?

[BipolarBill]

The only game that I know of which can take advantage of SMP is Quake 3 Arena:

http://www.quake3world.com/demo/teamarena.html

To enable SMP support, bring down the console with the ~ key and type the command:

\r_smp 1

Follow this command with:

\vid_restart

Frankly, SMP if not the best way to approach gaming. It's actually slower than single-CPU. If you can use SMP for another program, however, it's a keeper! :cool:

[No Kukae]

Thanks, don't know what SMP is, I'm still new to this stuff. I eventually want to convert old analog videos to digital and heard that dual CPUs are way to go.

[BipolarBill]

[gibsinep]

. Civilization Series - Sucked many years away!

Yeah same here I played CIV 2 for years and then CIV 2 gold for even more years. I still make a not to install it with every fresh new format.:)

I have the entire Civilization Series .sick game..not worth more than 2$.Its the worst game ever
Dont buy this game!


:p

[gibsinep]

I hope you are joking:eek:

[Nightblade]

yeah it took me a while to warm up to Civ3 but I love it now, except the dirty rotten cheating comp! but the new 1.21 patch took care of alot of issues. Still having a hard time using Cavarly against Spearmen (Knights work better statistically against em, dont know how or why but they do!)

[gibsinep]

One thing I hate about civ3 is you can have a tank attack a archer.

Why the hell would it be like that in history. The computer usually never had old units in Civ 2. and Lenoardos workshop upgraded all you guys if you built it so you moved along to age to age with everything upgrading. So in 2000AD you dont have 300 archers 400 spearmen and 200 warriors. That really make me mad.

[Nightblade]

Try it on a harder level, and u'll be the one with archers drooling over their tanks. Well maybe on the hardest level, but I hear ya. I just lost a battleship to a group of 4 Triemes. Expalin that one, the wake alone would crush the triemes. :confused:

[gibsinep]

I just lost a battleship to a group of 4 Triemes

Exactly what I am talking about. What weapon would a trieme use against a battleship?

[Nightblade]

Really big oars!

[gibsinep]

Really big oars!


LOL

mabey they were using dome greek fire:confused:

[Nightblade]

or ICBA's [Inter Contenental Ballistic ARROWS] or its a suge huge Trieme

[handman]

PC:

Day of Defeat
Morrowind
Freecell (most addicting game ever) :D

Consol

Metal Gear Solid 2
Final Fantasy Tactics
Secret of Mana
Chrono Trigger

Handman:r

[gibsinep]

or ICBA's [Inter Contenental Ballistic ARROWS] or its a suge huge Trieme

Yeah the ship wqas the size of Asia and just blowed right through the battleship.:D

[Rugor]

The Triremes laid alongside the Battleship and then the crews boarded and stormed.

Wild warriors in armor hacking through and unarmed crew with their swords.

[markp62]

Wing Commander I, II, III, IV
Freecell
Road Rash I & II
Master of Orion
Warcraft

[gibsinep]

The Triremes laid alongside the Battleship and then the crews boarded and stormed.

lol good thinkin, but what happened when they charged the 80mm AA guns and the two guys sitting in them mowed wave after wave of men down with 80mm projectiles. :D

[Nightblade]

I sent them an email stating that they need to add a realism factor units for 2 ages ago, should automatically lose! This being the fear factor! If a modern warship cruised up to a Trieme in open waters the sound of a 16" Cannon going off alone would scare the PEE out of the sailors on the Trieme, let alone a calculated near miss would flip the thing. I called it the morale factor.

[herosrest]

Ahem. Not necessarily.

http://www.atm.ox.ac.uk/rowing/trireme/.

They sure knew how to build em'.

[Rugor]

One question?

Where are you getting this spelling "Trieme?"

[gibsinep]

I just copied thw word from Nightblade origional post.


:confused:

[Rugor]

I was just wondering what happened to the second "r" in Triremes.

[gibsinep]

It took the second trail and didn't follow the first "r" down the correct road.

[Nightblade]

What is this? a spelling bee? I'm lucky I can spell "A" or "I"

[herosrest]

AI rules - Kill that bot. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[gibsinep]

What is this? a spelling bee? I'm lucky I can spell "A" or "I"

Nah Rugor was just having a little fun with us. I dont think he ment to make fun of our spelling.

[Nightblade]

I know, and I dont get offended easily

[prototypeJedi]

my favorite game of all time has been: Perfect Dark

[gibsinep]

I know just makin sure you didn't miss-interperet him :t

[Rugor]

Thanks gib,

It was actually two things, a little fun and since I haven't played the game I was wondering if they actually spelt it that way in the game too?

That would have been funny.

[gibsinep]

LOL yeah a big offical game that can't even spell :eek:

[StineWall]

Favorite game of all time??...hard to say.

But that Medal of Honor Allied Assault is my favorate game for the last year or so.

For Sports, NHL 2002 is one heck of a lotta fun!

[grimfandango]

Couldn't get into it. Gabriel Knight 2 was fantastic though. Full motion video with some game sequences mixed in. The acting was great! My wife and I sat huddled in front of the machine late at night a few times absolutely terrified.

If only we could find another like that! She's more of a Sims person and I'm more of a Baldur's Gate/Wolfenstein type, so a meeting of the minds on games doesn't happen often.

... but you must! it was terrific! (very different from GK3).

Why didn't I like GK3? I think too much time was put into them new fangled 3d graphics and not enough time into story. I'm a story kinda guy, plots are what keep me gripped. GK2 had a wicked plot! GK3 kept saying, but look at the 3d graphics!

GK2's a bit old now (tech wise). I'd be interested to see if it still stands up. Let me know how you like it.

I loved thief I & II......I just have a thing for stealth based games like metal gear and the like....

[Frick]

Sneaking around is the great thing about THIEF.
You hide in the shadows and wait for a victim to walk by and you step out behind them and crack'em on the head with your BLACKJACK................(((((((OUCH))))))))

[gibsinep]

Yeah yeah I know, but I am more of a run in and blow the roof of kinda guy:D

[LionSword]

Well, it all started with RoadRash, I tried some flightsimulators - never really liked them (too much time to learn) - and then ther was a game called Quake. Ever heard of It?? :) :)

[blindkilla]

Grand Theft Auto - kept me busy for quite some time.
Solitaire - always fun
SimCity - was a fun game

GTA 3 is quite impressive, that's just an amazing game, one of the greatest games i've played in a while.

[gibsinep]

Yeah GTA3 stunning graphics, gameplay, and what really make sthe game is storyline and the bailty to go about wherever you want.:)

[grimfandango]

I dont think GTA3 will work on my com..
:(
I played GTA 1,2 they were real good.
:D

[gibsinep]

What are your specs grimf

I have a friend running it on low detail of course


450mhz p3
512mb ram
ATI rage 16mb

I dont know how it runs as I havent seen it on his PC, but he says it is playable.

[grimfandango]

Well I gota

P3450
256mb ram
64mb GF2mx200.

Well do you think it will work.
:(

You never know. You RAM may help out your slower CPU and you video card is over minuim as is your RAM. ALl that is lacking is your CPU. Mabey look around the net and see if anyone else is running it on a setup similar to yours.

I would say you have a 75% or higher chance of getting it to run so you can play . My friend can play and he has less in the Video area but more RAM. I owuld say give it a shot.

I love that game....I still play that and Red Alert 2 from time to time....:)

[couch potato]

i liked brood wars better than the original. im not much of a RTS gamer, though

[MuRDoC]

My Favs

CounterStrike
Half-Life
Journey Man Project

:x

[bob05]

if i didn't say it earlier i love:

American Mcgee's Alice

based on Quake 3's engine, it has exalent graphics. Very twisted and new plot compared to the Disney like image we think of when we hear Alice. This is a true adventure game.

P.S. Adventure = a RPG and a FPS mixed, or a FPS that acually has a plot. ;)

[lefou]

Best RPG and Adventure game of all times (Sierra/Dynamix), you can still download and play it for free, as it is now freeware (thanks to Sierra Studios!). For a 10 MB download it's amazing how actually big a game can be! And interesting, too!

[challenger]

I don't think anyone has mentioned my favorite.

Master of Orion

The original. I swear there were some nights I never went to sleep playing that game. I think I might have to whip it out and fire it up again soon.

HEY MORDOC YOULL EVENTUALLY BECOME 1 ANEWAYS!

[Ram09]

I must say its quite entertaining reading these posts. We have quite the variety in games which in a way you would expect but also I was expecting maybe it being a couple games that always coming back. when I look at other games makes me think... oh yeah I forgot about that one... I think this was quite the successful thread.
Ram09

[MuRDoC]

I agree with Ram09, great thread.

And grimfandango, you don't know where to get these at? Don't know if I should tell ya, then the whole forums would be filled with them....http://216.40.201.38/contrib/navigator/indian.gif

[hoodedrat]

quake 1 ... thats all i gotta say

[KraZy_SkitZy]

Anachronx (Awesome Game)

Final Fantasy (psx, and pc version) in my opinion best of the FF series next to FF3

[JonathanB]

Got too tired reading the replies... Return to Castle Wolfendtein. I'm nearing the end.:D

[Ape0r]

Warcraft II

[XRedAshesX]

Blood!? Sry man those games where horrible, the grfxfor blood 2 were good for their time, but the game itself was horrible, two shots from the baretta a guy would explode into a bloody mess, its good game for the run a round shoot for guts fun ppl, I had to admit in #2 it was funny seeing a guy with his legs hanging outta a washing machine, and all the lady says is "he must have just fell in"
this game was a waste of my $10

[XRedAshesX]

I played it for the atmosphere, and the funny easter eggs they put in throughout the game. It was fun when everyone played it on Mplayer. :)

[Nick CPU]

C&C 1

[Nick CPU]

OMG MASTERS OF ORION!!!!!! Thats my favorite

[Optimus Prime]

hmm,

1) Half-Life obviously
2) Master Of Orion 2, awesome game
3) Barbarian for the Commodore.... FANTASTIC animations for its time :D you could decapitate your opponent... aww man it brings back memories.

Half-Life............. The game is bein beatin with a with a monkey on a stick, isn't it dead yet (i don't mean the monkey), I admittedly have all the half-lifes, and enjoyed it, but its time to let the game go, next to Quake3, the only thing I think half-life has runnin for it now is its' mods, but even they're seeming to get weak... but that is my 2bits.......

Silver, is another kewl game....

[KraZy_SkitZy]

o another kewl game was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the PC... Yes, yes there was a pc version, it was a combo of #2 for the nes, and turtles in time for the snes

[gibsinep]

The turtle games for snes were great. Remeber how you could throw the guy into your screen and it looked liek he crushed againts your t.v screen?

[Optimus Prime]

hey, it says the best games of all time which means games that rocked... not still rock, but i think half-life still rox, but i'd wish some of the mods for it like Day of Defeat would move to a different engine... cos the half-life engine is old now.... Silver is AWESOME, ****, its a pity it doesnt work properly on my GF2 for some strange reason, when i get my ATI 7500 ill install it again :)

Ya, silver was awesome, how did you get it to work on yur ATI? I have an ATI Radeon 64mb DDR VIVO, Background animations are corrupt, does the patch fix it? Or do i have to get Desperate and install my ol' TNT2 32mb?

[Optimus Prime]

HAHA! with my GF2 that i have in my PC right now the backgrounds are corrupt.... so if the ATI 7500 card corrupts the game then its most likely the game itself that corrupts it... i dont wanna re-install my old Voodoo 2 just to play the game :(

[pyr0]

The Best Game Of All Time :

1- Starcraft
2-Diablo
3-Loadrunner
4-PacMan
:p :x

[Optimus Prime]

HEY! pyr0, do you happen by any chance at all co-run a site with a guy named Glimsharp?

how did you get Silver to use your voodoo2 when iwas usin my ol 233mmx, all i had for a primary dispaly was an ati 1mb, with my voodoo2 12mb, it always used my 1mb, so it was unplayable (so iplayed the game on my older 133 with a 2mb ati) I would put my voodoo 2 back in anways if there was XP drivers for it...........
but anyways, so how did you get it to use yur voodoo 2 for curiosity sake?

[Optimus Prime]

well i would presume your 1mb card didnt help :)

I had the voodoo 2 12mb and a matrox 4mb i think it was, or maybe 8 mb... anyway it worked and it was great... then i got my GF2... :(

Ah well, i hope they release Silver 2... unlikely but hey.

All this happened about 2 years ago though... i don't know if it would work if i put my Voodoo 2 in now...

Silver was another one of those games that didn't get the credit it deserved. In that case it prevents there from being a #2... That game would be extremely awesome in a full 3D world, Unlike the Prerendered backgrounds, and directdraw characters... Still a kewl game though...
I miss my voodoo... I have 3 voodoo 2's just sitting around... when will there ever if ever be a WinXP driver....?

[ente]

chess of course :)

[AceAirman]

Ghost Recon and GTA3. (Wait Ghost Recon?...Hell, all Tom Clany games!!!!) Oh yeah, and of course Mario Brothers for 1985 NES! Seriously.

[Ted Mathews]

I'd have to say the Mechwarrior and Mercenaries Series starting with Mech2 all the way through Mech4 Black Knight.
Mech4 the best of the group.
Then
Diablo II Unreal Tribes II Quake II

any fans of Battlezone II ? :cool:

[nishant]

I'd say Counter-Strike and Final Fantasy viii

[tony_j15]

Man, so many games! I have played lots but I think my favorite is SWAT 3. Its great!! Nice online community and its easy to mod. I can't wait till SWAT Urban Justice comes out.

[americanmuscle]

fallout 2, best. game.ever.

well it did have some faults, but the non-linearity of it, plus the setting make it my favorite game ever.

[xEaGLe]

****... we are talking about the best games, the legends... Quake3 :confused: C&C :confused: ... ConterStrike :confused: ... God damnit... Diablo??? let´s speak seriously....
The best games on the categories that I like

Rpg: Phantasy star 1 (master system) although I loved to play Chrono Trigger (snes), but we are talking about the legends... The final fantasy series on famicon could be a good choice... but I never played any final fantasy

Shooting: Wolfestein 3d or doom 1 (although Unreal Tournament is my favorite... Im sooo nervous to get my UT2003)

Strategy: Warcraft I and II of course... no comments about that (Although Starcraft nowadays is the best strategy game. Some say that starcraft is "better" than warcraft.... its a hard question to answer... I think that warcraft deserves the award cos it opens the doors for realtime strategy game)

Fighting: Street Fighter series. Please I dont wanna here any Mortal Kombats fans replying my opinion... Street fighter is the best without the shadow of a doubt

So... these are the legends in the categories that I play... Jesus, I had to reply... here... so many teenagers talking ****

[americanmuscle]

dont get me wrong xeagle, I have been playing games since '89. Some of the best I ever played were the zelda's, marios, final fantasies, chrono series. Wolf 3d was awesome, counterstrike is the game I have been playin nonstop since march 02. Street fighter at the arcade was a money pit for me when I was 11. Shadowrun was excellent, as was Halflife, the xcom series, sega sports series for the next-gen consoles, etc. Too many to name. But many ppl didnt read the title of the topic closely enuf, it asked you to choose 1 game in particular.

And the best game I have ever played has got to be Fallout 2, it had insane replayability, and the fact that you could finish the game as a child murdererin, slave runnin, grave diggin, drug dealer or as a champion of the people made it all tthe better.

I encourage all of you to buy the Fallout 1/2 value pack for $10 and try them out.

[samdbugman]

the game that started me on games.......picked up a $10.00 copy of Dragon Warrior.... for the nintendo.........my daughters toy....i pluged it in,got killed 20 times in 20 game starts..........got pi**ed off..........and havent stopped gaming since...too bad ENIX never brought any more over.....

Panzer Dragoon : Saga
Can't wait for the new Panzer Dragoon for xbox

[rrugg]

My favorite game of all the times is Dungeon Surgeon 2: The Battle Rages. This game totally rulez! I can beat everybody on this game including my brother Joop. My favorite part is level 4 of Trinidad's Castle where you have to get the gold coins from the mouth of happenstance. Anyway, I don't have any fingers on my left hand and I can still play this game. My worst game of all time is Rooster Dodge.

[Avor]

My favorite games are ...
- EverQuest! (probably one of the most demanding games ever created tho :mad: )
- Any Blizzard title :)
- Half-Life and MODs

[racronus]

warcraft the series, which one in particular I can't say.

and Jezzball :) which they made more levels, gets boring after level 49....

[The_Shafer]

Deus Ex was a great game. It was game of the year, and was a RPG/Action/FPS game. It was one of the best games I've ever played. If you don't have it, get it NOW! :)

[omega31]

Monkey Island series, especially 1 and 2. Grim Fandango was pretty cool. Lode Runner, played that on an Atari computer. But I remember back in the day, there was one game that had me so hooked that I burned out the monitor. Huh? Long, long time ago, more than 15 years. I was playing Rogue and I kept on playing it even though the monitor went on the blank. Had to turn it off and then on again so I could see. Didn't have a computer back then. Was using a relative's. When I finally did get my first computer around 1988/1989, got NetHack and played that for ages.

The link dosnt work:confused:

[Deviance]

My favourite is Total Annihilation. im suprised nobody has it on there lists. anyone played it? Its kinda like starcraft and C&C series but the way the resources are setup is unique to any other game.

[Scrooby]

TA was a nice change from the usually rts games at the time and its aged really well, i still play it online and its still addictive, shame they went bust and dont release any new units anymore.


Oh fav game is counter-strike the half-life mod, cant get enough of it!

[Bigjakkstaffa]

TA was heralded as a great new thing, but as i cant stand RTS's i largley ignored it as i do all others, in fact the only two "strategy" type gfames ive actually played to any extent AND enjoyedare:

Myth II: Soulblighter
and
Black and white

...as they are non too heavy on resource collecting and all that cr@p.

Id reccomend em both - especially Myth II if you like a challenge from your games at later levels :)

--Jakk:t

[Scrooby]

yeah but couldnt get on with black and white, too many little fiddly things to do, like keeping the villigers happy

[Shinta]

sorry made an error with the link.. its...

[TaXi]

My favorite gam of all time is the Thief series: Thief: The Dark Project, Thief Gold, and Thief 2: The Metal Age. I even make missions and levels, which can be downloaded at www.thief-thecircle.com.


TaXi:t :t :p

[Bigjakkstaffa]

I quite enjoyed the thief demo's i played, but as it wasnt a commercial success over here, ive never seen any of the games in the local EB or Game or whatever it is this week :x, even though theyre both on budget release...

--Jakk:t

[TaXi]

yeah, you might say that it was kind of an underground game. I only know one other person who has it. I think it would have been more successful had they made an ad campaign, because it's a great game.

-TaXi:t :t :p

[Rugor]

I played it, at least the first one, it was very good.

I may put it back on my system again.

Thanks.

[tking]

I thought Thief was a winner too, but like Jakk, I couldn't find the full version anywhere. I was hoping to find a "gold edition" thief 1 and 2 in a discount bin somewhere, but this too never appeared. Loved the demo, never could find the **** game.

Favorite game of all time? Ultima III. I finished it on the C64 and wrote to Lord British who sent me back a fine, cloth poster and a nice, personally written letter. It wouldn't stand up now, but back then I was 10 and this game did it all!

A few years ago in deepest darkest Japan my wife and I got hooked on Gabriel Knight 2: the beast within. It's the only game we've ever played together and we both remember it fondly. Back in University it was Privateer - a good game I played to the end. Various others (warcrafts, starcrafts, Baldur's Gates) did well but it wasn't until the late nineties that I did Planescape: Torment when I found another gem.

I wanted to put NWN in the greatest of the generation pile but it didn't cut it for me. I'm hoping to try Morrowind next week and I'll see how that goes. RTCW is my current addiction but that twitch and jerk adrenalaine stuff gets thin real quick - what's got me hooked on this one is online play - never tried it before - killing real people is so... satisfying:r

Hey, 20 years of playing games on dozens of different platforms, did you really expect me to just choose one?:)

T

[TaXi]

Yup, it's a great game, thief is. you can buy it on the internet, I think. Have you tried www.dragon.ca? also, try amazon.com.


TaXi:t

[rizboy]

Final Fantasy Series...and MAX PAYNE!!!
