Games Games Games!

[MrL_JaKiri]

Favourite ones, to be precise.

I've only just realised that LoZ: A Link to the Past is one of my favourite games. I've been playing it repeatedly for years, but it never struck me before.

Alpha Centauri, ditto. I've only just started to appreciate the value of needlejets, too.

[KoeN]

unreal

[I am Idler]

quakeworld, actionquake, quake2, quake3

[Zharkov]

Baldur's Gate 2
Torment
Civ 2

[Vaio]

StarFleet Command 1/2/3

Great fun

Vaio

[Zar]

total annhilation,
alpha centauri,
little big adventure 2 (the only game of its type i bothered to complete),
Mario & Zelda games (far too many to bother typing)
sim city 2000

[Phang]

being new does not diminish thw sheer best game ever status of Vice City, so Vice City. Broken Sword is second on the pretty damn rocking list.

[Madina]

Goldeneye on the N64
NFS hot pursuit on the PS2 rocks
red alert
delta force 2 \o/
o and some game called unreal tournament - you may know it

[Dark-Strider]

FInal Fantasy X on the PS2 has been by favourite game on any Platform.
It's one of the only games which truly moved me and made me care about the characters.
Also the story rocked and the GRaphics were amazing.

My Favourite Multiplayer game has to be CS. Oh the fun I've had with a few m8s some beer and a few games of CS.

I'm not a fan of Vice City. To my mind, it falls into the same sphere of 'decent in places but generally mediocre' as Call of Duty, Far Cry and the like.

Other games I just can't play enough are Freespace 2, Civ 2, Baldur's Gate 2/Torment and Mario 3, and my preferred FPS is Unreal Tournament 2004.

[edit]

My favourite genre is the RTS, but their single players are all rubbish (well, except WC3, but even then the MP is better), so they're not appearing on the list.

[MrL_JaKiri]

I've never been a fan of the Final Fantasies, I don't really like their style.

However, there remains only one game that I've preordered, and that game is UT2K4.

[edit]

How did I forget to mention Arc/BeebElite?

[insane_in_da_membrane]

FF7 has been replayed to many times to bother counting. There's a few other games, but I can't remember their names for some reason

[Dante Hicks]

Frontier Elite 2, Street Fighter 2, Mario Kart, Monkey Island 1/2, Fallout 1/2, Civ 2, Alpha Centauri, Super Mario World, Star Craft, Red Alert, Total Annihilation, Baldurs Gate. And others which escape my memory.

[Rids]

Tetris, has consumed far more of my time than any other game on the planet, including CM.

[Leshy]

Quest for Glory I-V, Gabriel Knight I-III, Thief I-II, Baldur's Gate I-II, Age of Empires I-II, Quake I, GTA: Vice City

[Phang]

[Evergreen]

Fallout 2
Heroes of Might & Magic 2 & 3
Might & Magic 2 (The only good M&M out of the whole series)

Ridge Racer (this imo was what put the PS on the map when it first came out)

Golden Axe 2
Streets of Rage 2
Street Fighter 2
Tekken

Advanced Soccer Manager for the Spectrum Sinclair, Beats Champ manager hands down for being not only a good football manager but also for being lazy and blending all of the scottish and UK teams into a 4 division system.

[Deepflow]

golden axe 1 was superior to golden axe 2

[Dante Hicks]

I almost got suspended from school when I installed Golden Axe on the school network.

Therefore it has a special place in my heart despite the fact it wasn't actually very good.

[Deepflow]

golden axe was an utter classic!

you had to kill death adder then in one of the versions kill death adders boss who never got named as far as i know.

also the dwarf was the best, the extra length of weaponness outweighed the crappy magic.

people had many many fights playing it at mine for possession of the monsters

[wu_trax]

sacred
(basicly a diaboloII clone, but with much better graphics, a larger map, etc.. really a nice game and you can waste month on it.)

[Dante Hicks]

I preferred Gauntlet on the Speccy to Goldenaxe.

[Deepflow]

i dont think i ever played the old version of gauntlet. had a go on the newer one in the arcade a few times though, was fun.

[Entium]

Commander Keen, Keen 4, Jill, Oekopoly, Octavian, Kaiser.

Civ 2, Civ 3, Colonisation, Alpha Centauri, C&C Red Alert, Warcraft 1+2, Total Annhilation and Tribes on PC;
Zelda - A link to the past, Earthworm Jim and Super Mario Cart on SNES;
Kung-Fu on XBox; GoldenEye on N64.

[Deepflow]

colonisation!

that game was fun

i dont think it ever let you buy copious amounts of black slaves though not fair.

[Dante Hicks]

I really liked Colonisation on the Amiga, although fighting to British got a bit annoying on some settings.

Bloody colonials.

One of the most bizarre sights of my sixth form years was due to our Consopolis that we had made in my study. I have seen little to distort my world view quite so much as a stocky rugby player sitting down and saying that it is his mission in life to finish Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

Partially because you can win every game of Freecell, but quite a few Solitaire combinations are impossible.

[roadrunner_0]

i still have every version of C&C to come out on the ps1, i know that compared to the PC versions, they arent even worth mentioning, but just the other day i wasted2 hours having a small skirmish game of C&C: Retaliation, which made me smile

[Dark-Strider]

What's criminal is that I actually bought speedball 2 for the pc not long ago since it was my favourite game on the master system. So I think we can put that in too.

[Demon Dave]
