Favorite games

I have to entirely agree with Saulot on Morrowind (and Oblivion). I thoroughly enjoyed playing both games, but when I stopped playing them I never even considered replaying them. They sneak into the bottom of my top 10 because of the former and stay at the bottom because of the latter.

I liked morrowind a lot, even the story really.. I played daggerfall too and tried it when every morrowind fan liked it even better than morrowind but really.. it's just not as good.

Oblivion.. I don't know why some pplz like it less than morrowind.. better graphics, better story. just a different setting, better mechanics too really.. also a great game

Mm.

In rough chronological order, a few of my favourites...

Lords Of Midnight & Doomdark's Revenge (Spectrum)
Rebelstar (Spectrum)
Elite (Spectrum/Amiga)
The Chaos Engine (Amiga)
Lure of the Temptress (Amiga)
Masters of Orion I (PC)
Deus Ex (PC)
Medieval: Total War (PC)
Morrowind (PC)
Counter-Strike Source (PC)

After a lifetime's gaming, it's a shame to miss out so much, although I could easily remove some and replace them with classics like Manic Miner, Speedball 2, Sabrewulf, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars, Half-Life, Civilisation, UFO, Star Control 2, Eye of the beholder 2, and many more.

What was the software from ID: Castle Frankenstein..

How about the original: Hack, Rogue, StarTrek.

Also Darklands - which was incredible, Fallout, Insane Asylum, Populus (The almost original God Game).

Sentinel - which seems faded in retrospect. Civilization.
Beta tested Evercrack. Quit it at 7th Level.

Sanctum

igital Addiction. www.nioga.net.
Chron-x

Neverwinter.

Panzer General.
Spaceward Ho!
Rails West on commodore 64

And, for the old-time Mac users out there, who can forget Marathon, the progenitor of Halo? Many a good night wasted playing MP Marathon at the office.

Ah, I forgot Deus Ex. Definately one of the all-time great games, in my opinion. They don't make them like that anymore. It'd probably bump out X-Wing on my list.

I am rather surprised that at the lack of System Shock 2 in this thread's lists, though. It, too was great, and far better than Bioshock.

Mechwarrior 1, Star Control 2, Molez, V-Wing, Cyber Empires, Tyrian, Master of Magic, Jagged Alliance 2, and Counter Strike deserve honorable mentions.

SS2 was mentioned at least once. I've been thinking of playing it, but thought I'd have to play SS1 to enjoy it.

I've never played SS1, but loved SS2. It's almost impossible to get SS1 to run on modern computers, unfortunately. Plus, SS1 is a pseudo FPS that doesn't have mouse support, so it'd be very difficult to actually play these days.

you really didn't have to play to SS1 for enjoying the second, just read a summary of the story.

I forgot Deux Ex 1 and SS2 too (... and Fantasy General, and Genesia, Star Wars: TIE Fighter, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Dune 1, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Syndicate, Thief II: The Metal Age, Ultima VII: The Black Gate, Arx Fatalis, Rainbow Six)
