I thought of some more classics:

- Escape Velocity (Override was probably the best)
- Commander Keen
- Oregon Trail
- Dirt Bike (the original, 2-D side scroller)

- Cosmic Osmo and the Worlds Beyond the Mackerel:

1. UFO: Enemy Unknown
2. Settlers
3. Heroes of Might and Magic 2
4. Civilization 2
5. Counter-Strike(beta 4 was best)

Other games:
Conflict Freespace
Feudal Lords
Master of Orion 2
Transport Tycoon
Pirates
Port of Call
Might and Magic 2
Deltaforce
Quake 2

Most newer FPS games seem to just be Maddog McCree clones, goto x position kill 10 enemies, move to y position.

Game companies should forget the pretty graphics and create more open fps games like deltaforce did. Target could be: "Take out enemy camp", but would leave it up to the player from which side to attack and with what.

For so called "mindless" DM fun, still nothing comes close to Quake 3.

Only a simple movie, there are gems out there, which took months of editing, and perhaps years of acquiring the footage,

There's nothing like anticipating an enemy's position and hitting them

Well, that's not very informative.

Don't really play games anymore... I hate the majority of them anyway, particularly the modern 3D ones. I did enjoy some games from the DOS days, adventure games mostly, side scrolling, platform and puzzle games too. In no particular order:

Sam and Max Hit the Road
Day of the Tentacle
Commander Keen series
Monkey Island 1 & II
Syberia (last great game that was of interest to me. c.a. 2002-3)

There were also hundreds of shareware games that I played all those years ago, many of which I can't remember anymore. But those are the ones that stand out for me and ones that I actually completed.

1. Civilization 1-3 -- Civ 4 not to my taste at all, messy graphics and the game mechanics are not transparent. But Civ 1+2+3 are responsible for failed university studies, bleak skin, poor economy and angry girlfriends.

2. Europa Universalis 1-3, including In Nomine and Napoleon's Ambition -- amazing, complex, historically correct strategy game with lots of flavour.

3. Close Combat III, the Russian front -- There are great third party upgrades that make it more challenging. If you don't get a little bit aroused when you get your first Tiger Panzer IV, then it's not for you. Me, I almost wet myself.

4. Spaceward Ho! (Macintosh) -- First cool multiplayer game? Nothing special in single play.

5. International Karate (Vic 64) - You just can't deny the music.

Is my list the nerdiest so far?

1. Operation Flashpoint
2. Fallout 1
3. Max Payne series
4. Hitman series
5. Football Manager

I'm a multiplayer fan, so, in no particular order:

Civilization 2 - much more complex than the original, but much easier to just sit down and play than Civ 3/4.

Half-Life series + mods - CS:S being my favorite of the bunch... but HL2 is probably the best single-player game ever.

Age of Empires II - the expansion also improved on some things, but also did some unbalancing.

World of Warcraft - hate it or love it, it is the most carefully constructed, well-balanced, easy-to-learn mainstream MMO ever. It has good PvE and PvP, and something to love for just about everyone.

Battlefield 2 - 2142 also ain't bad, but it came later, and this is one awesome game.

Hmm... I kinda wanna fit Monkey Island 1/2 in there, too.

proc · Post by **proc** » Thu Nov 12, 2009 7:57 am

In no particular order:

worms reinforcements (aka worms+, an expansion for the first game of the serie)
red alert 1 & 2
dune 2
master of orion 1
half life
syndicate (NOT s. wars)
doom 2

- other -

double dragon 2 (c64)
moonstone (amiga 500)
chaos engine (amiga 500)
tekken 1 & 2 (ps1... I don't like newer tekkens)
