Moatilliatta Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'd like to see Battlechess again. That game was really cool. I do think that chess works best on a regular board on a table, but perhaps I'm just old fashioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 yeah dude Archon was awesome Indeed. I remember being somewhat disappointed by Archon 2, although the Juggernaught was cool.

mkreku Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I think I want to add Gothic 3 to my list. I know it stutters, I know it WAS buggy (recent patches has stopped ALL crashing for me and I've actually not seen anything worse than some clipping issues and such!), I know it's spread a bit thin.. but the world! The atmosphere! The myriad of things to do! The cities and temples and monasteries and mines and islands and and and.. it's just so awe inspiringly well done! I am replaying it right now and even though I thought I was very thorough last time, I am again finding new stuff I have never seen before! It really is a world. So.. Wasteland Gothic Gothic 2 Deus Ex GTA: San Andreas Fallout 2 Ultima IV Daggerfall Gothic 3 One more to go Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Amentep Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 PhantasieM.U.L.E. A reminder that EA once released a lot of different game genres... *reminiscenses (sp?) the days of "Seven Cities of Gold", "Hard hat Mack", "Archon" & "Racing Destruction Set"* I think I could use a remake of "Racing Destruction Set" :sad: I remember Racing Destruction Set. Wow, I'd remembered the game for years but couldn't think of the name of it (a bit like that game where you bought a giant monster and set it loose) Seven Cities of Gold I remember playing, but never finishing. ARCHON was the game though! I remember many epic battles on that game. Never played Hard Hat Mack though...platformer? Phantasie was a great game. So ten I really liked (and played a whole lot): Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together Planescape: Torment Dragon Force Phantasie M.U.L.E. Arcus Odyssey Final Fantasy VI/III Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne Katamari Damacy Shining Force II hell yeah though that fight with the Kraken was a huge jump in the difficulty level Yeah it was. Man I loved Shining Force II so much that I actually got all my characters up to level 99 once... It was actually the first (and only game) I assisted on an online FAQ for (Mostly spell progressions for some of the wizards and I found a weird "issue"? where I got Talos' sword on a random drop; unusable by any party member and I held onto it thinking there was going to be some character who'd use it). I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasyDogMeat Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) I'm going to mention series, even though the thread implies a single game. For instance, I just can't think of Baldur's Gate series as seperate games. In no particular order... Baldur's Gate Series: Not including the console Dark Alliance BG games. Icewind Dale Series Planescape Torment Neverwinter Nights Series Knights of the Old Republic Series Resident Evil 4: The rest of the series was decent, but this one took it to a whole new level. Call of Duty 1/United Offensive: The sequels all sucked. Doom Series: I still play Doom 1/2/Plutonia from time to time using a source port, and I love Doom 3. Enemy Territory Series:Wolfenstein & Quake Wars - Love this game. Best class based team games I've ever played. TF 2 can go eat poo. Quake Series You can probably tell I'm a FPS & RPG guy. The above are on my list as they've kept me coming back for LONG periods. There games I can still pick up and play and love any time I want. Honorable mention: Lode Runner Space Quest Series: Along with Quest for Glory, the only adventure series I've played the whole series of. King's Quest 2: Space Quest 1, King's Quest 2 & Lode Runner were my first games EVER. The Quest for Glory series Psychonauts Medal of Honor: Allied Assault - The beach landing scene blew my mind when it first came out No One Lives Forever 2 Halo 1: Combat Evolved Far Cry Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Spent countless hours in Multiplayer before transfering over to Wolfenstein: ET Unreal 1: First game was amazing, but for some reason or another I completly lost interest in all of the sequels, MP or otherwise. AvP 2: Anyone else notice how Monolith has a habit of making great games and then giving them expansions that almsot make you forget why you liked the original game? Anachronox Deus Ex Fallout 1 & 2 Starcraft & Brood War Sacrifice: Best RTS game I've ever played. Grand Theft Auto 3: The sequels lost something when the main characters started talking. Robocop vs. The Terminator: Sega Genesis. Excellent. Batman & Robin: Sega Genesis. Graphics on this were insane at the time. Donkey Kong 1-3: Awesome SNES platformer Alien 3: One of the crappiest movies of all time somehow became one of the greatest side scrollers of all time on SNES. Sonic 3 + Sonic & Knuckles: Perhaps the most epic sidescroller. Screw Mario!

I've played tons of games but these are the ones that I've enjoyed repeatedly. There are other games I really like (such as NWN 2 and MotB) but I've gotten the most mileage out of these games.

thepixiesrock Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 If we were talking about how much time we've spent enjoying a game, I'd have to throw in The Sims or The Sims 2, but I don't know if it's enjoyment as much as a sick obsession with wanting to live a different life.

thepixiesrock Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Yeah, but I'm not talking about dreaming of living in a different world were there is magic or the force and everyone runs around with swords or lightsabers, and running around as a counter terrorist shooting terrorists, I'm talking about me wanting to play in a completely different regular life taking place in a regular world. There is a distinction.

Pidesco Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I don't know how your regular life goes, but in my regular life, I've never managed to maintain 6 different sexual relationships, including a marriage, concurrently without all the utterly dedicated lovers ever finding out about it, even if I'm having sex upstairs with one of them, while the wife is downstairs playing chess with another lover of mine. The role playing options in the Sims 2 are awesome.

SweetiePea Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I don't get to live in a mansion with expensive pieces of artwork but my Sims sure do! I get so obsessively addicted to that game because there are so many sides to it. There's the dollhouse effect, the endless lifestory possibilities, the ability to craft (thanks to Free Time) as I never could in real life...

SteveThaiBinh Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I went off The Sims 2 for a while, but with so many expansion packs out now and so much to do in the game, it's won me over again.

SweetiePea Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 That's how they hook you. Just when you finally get bored with the game, they bring out another expansion pack so that you'll spend hours building your Sim's business or buying them a vacation home or sending them off to college and on and on and on. I'm pathetically excited about the kitchen and bath stuff pack that's coming out and will likely end up playing hours of the Sims once again so that I can redo their kitchens and baths. And that's why that game gets a place in my top ten!

Gorth Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Not quite as advanced as The Sims 2, but my little brother had one of these in 1985: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Computer_People Talk about addictive. I think the session count went into the hundreds... “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
