Best Videogame Ever

[Marrik]

mine is FEAR by far, best shooting game ive ever seen. during some of the gunfights, the dust from the holes blown in the concrete was so thick all you could see was the muzzleflashes of the badguys. after the smoke cleared, i would go and see the damage. there would be bodies, occasionally headless or missing an arm. but by far the most memorable was i walked into a room after the fight, and there was agiant pool of blood with a sinlge boot sitting upright in the middle. none of the bodies was missing a foot. awesome!!

also, i love that the unarmed combat isnt just generic punching like in most games, you have a couple different moves to do without trying to make it an overly complicated fighting game, and it has some really freaky parts too.

[Aragoni]

Dungeon Keeper 2

That game is the only one that really makes you feel evil

[Shiva-PIC]

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

[Metal Wolf]

Freespace2 that game was the climax of the space opera genre.

[Erratic]

Deus Ex... No game has come close to it's greatness since it one game of the year. Open world to explore, skill based combat system/character tree that lets you create your character how you like, implants that add to the cyberpunk theme, and one of the best stories in video game history. (planescape torment is a close second)

[Cintare]

Tribes 2, easily the most fun fps I've ever played.

[Figrix Voidstar]

A difficult question to answer, but I'm going to go on what first popped into my head.

Half-Life

I got so much out of this game plus the expansions and mods. My finest and fondest gaming moments are found within.

good thread ;)

runners up for me were baldurs gate 2, fallout 2, and diablo 2.. err, yeah.

[Mennovh]

most blizzard rts games, TFC, Ultima Online

[Mug]

Deus Ex, closely followed by Planescape: Torment (but only because of it's setting and story.), I honestly can't think of a bad aspect of that game. Everything was done great. Needs to be remade (with only the graphics being updated) so that everyone can play it.

[Taurohta]

Final Fantasy VII

[Atnas]

Metal Gear Solid 1,2,3.

[Viluin]

Diablo 2 is by far the best game I've ever played. C&C Red Alert got close though.

[snowbert]

world of warcraft

[Hecubis]

Dungeon Keeper 2

That game is the only one that really makes you feel evil

Evil Genius is better imo.

[Mordhak]

Postal 2.

Nuff said.

[Smoorfi]

Darkfall and Portals (from Valve) are my most awaited games.

My favourite games of all time (that I've played) are Half Life 2 (PC), Need For Speed: Most Wanted (Xbox 360), Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time (N64), and I'll have to agree with Viluin that Diablo 2 (PC) was amazing. Expan was pretty good too.

Deus Ex
Is it too late for me now?




I dont know why, but I still keep playing Jedi Knight 2 - Jedi Academy...
It's not the best or anything... But still the combat is so damn fun...

[123kid4]

world of warcraft
:eek: nuff said

Best game Zelda Ocarina of time.

[rekker]

Is it too late for me now?

I don't think so. Sit back with a nice drink, close the curtains, put some headphones on, and let the game unfold. Take your time with it and whatever you do, DON'T RUSH THROUGH IT! Its quite an old game, but as long as you can excuse the graphics, you'll be fine (I personally love the graphics, just like I love everything about the game).

Definatly worth a try! I've seen it for

[Cidius]

[QUOTE=rekker]Definatly worth a try! I've seen it for

[Temu]

Schleichfahrt, Starcraft, Neocron 1

[Rouzuki]

I'm playing Shadow of The Colosses currently, and while it lacks npcs in the world...it is simply a legendary game. How awesome is it to climb up gigantic monsters and stab them to death. Plus the sound track is amazing.

[Henalim]

Asheron's Call for me.

[WonderBrick]

UO

Honorable mentions: Doom 1&2(even today with Legacy patch (http://legacy.newdoom.com/))
Quake 1
Dungeon Keeper 2
X-Com UFO Defense(the greatest game I never even came close to beating)
Worms 1(with room of friends)
Morrowind(with a nod towards Oblivion for some of it's tweaks towards essentially continued Morrowind gameplay)

I have a feeling Darkfall might overtake UO. And I know portal is going to consume huge amounts of time.

Two other solid, but doubtfully classic-caliber games on horizon: Dead Rising, and and Dark Messiah.

Does anyone know of a way to get XCom UFO Defense to run smoothly on today's computers? I tried with some success 6-7 years ago with SloMo and CPUKiller, but never got various modes tweaks to run at just the right speeds.

[Jebsta16]

Definatly worth a try! I've seen it for

[Solrac]

Snes games :D but mostly:
Donkey kong Country 1 and 2, 3 was kinda easier
Tetris Attack
Killer instinct
Chronno Trigger

Some N64 ones like the legend of zeldas

For PC Starcraft, Warcraft II (i actually got all my english from bnet :P)

Prince of Persia 2 was also lots of fun

[Atnas]

Ugh, Prince of Persia 2. Horrible.

dunno if id like it now but thats the first rts i ever played, and it was amazing

[EvilKnight]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is hands down the best and some of the greatest times I ever had in a game was in Planetside when it first came out, ah the good times with huge battles, enemies as far as you can see, with bullets and vehicals flying past you while assaulting a base, man that was fun.

[Tshark]

Toca Racing on Xbox

[Helgeran]

I love Baldur's Gate 2 but I always keep returning to the Thief series and Starcraft.

[Spades Felligan]

Red Orchestra.

[piers]

The game that I enjoyed the most is Command & Conquer. It was - in my eyes - revolutionary at the time, I never played a strategy game before and I got hooked straight away.

And ofcourse my first MMO, Dark Age of Camelot. My brother came home with it. It was just released. Never heard about it before. And got me hooked instantly as well.

[Levinax]

StarCraft / BroodWar

that game was revolutionary in its day. it completely changed the way i viewed video games.

[Smoorfi]

Warcraft II (i actually got all my english from bnet :P)
I played that game when I was 6. Learned how to type from the cheat codes my father had written down for me. That was an awesome game.

[BlackVolgan]

james bond: Golden eye on N64

[Stax]

I loved Pax-Imperia. (though it had bugs needing fixed).



Great post by the way! Reminded me of many great games I had forgotten.

Maybe that will make your game playing experience of MGS2 seem alot more fun since it will make alot more sense. IMO MGS2 is the best yet, but 3/4 of the people that played it couldn't understand it further than the objective elements and game mechanics.

BTW - wait till you see raiden as the most badass mofo yet in MGS4. HE CATCHES KATANAS WITH HIS FEET

(read - first link is alot of advanced reading & comprehension. I doubt most will make it through. Try Link 2 for a shorter and easier to comprehend reason why MGS2 kicks ass.

i understood mgs2 perfectly, i just didnt like it

[SteveX]

I know some people will disagree, but I have to say Final Fantasy 7 & 10.

7 had one of the best storylines and was all around an amazing game and the graphics weren't horrible, the CGs were incredible for the time.

10 also had a great storyline, maybe not as good as 7. Also the graphics, battle system, and talking were the first of its kind in the Final Fantasy line.

[Cidius]

My cousin started gaming when he saw me play FF 7 and Resident Evil 2 all the way through.

[slugy]

best game would be

mario 64

[Ankh]

Counter-Strike: Source

*Shudder*

Anything Black Isle/Bioware, Valve and Blizzard, plus a ton in between.

[Matriel]

best game would be

mario 64

That's a pretty good one. The remake on DS isn't half bad either.

[Helgeran]

*Shudder*

Anything Black Isle/Bioware, Valve and Blizzard, plus a ton in between.

CS:S is a great game and would be my choice if it wasn't for source's intentional hit box lag.

I forgot Alpha Centauri, beats the other Civ games by a few meters, if the multiplayer was a bit easier to manage I would play it 24/7. Silksteel Plasmashard Dropsquad X at your service.

[Afgar]

I'm about halfway thru FF7 and I don't get what all the fuss is about.

And DKC2 was a rehash of DKC (a great rehash that is), so it gets second place =p.

Ogre battle 64 is also an awesome game.

[Xife]

Lords of the Realm 2, Starcraft, Warcraft 2...

[Marrik]

the WC series is my favorite as far as the rts genre goes for certain, its a shame that the original blizzard team got kicked off wow and its all faggoted up

[WonderBrick]

I don't follow CS:S closely, but have seen those hitbox lag videos. Was that hitbox lag truely intentional by Valve?

[stormmhael]

My favorites:

FPS: counterstrike
mmo: asheron's call dt
racer: sw pod racer
space: eve
rpg: zelda (snes or n64)

[AD_Trael]

I want to say Silent Hill, but I've got no clue which one to choose. Probably 2...

[Shadowcreep]

I have a lot of favorites, mostly old games (Goldeneye 007, Valkyrie Profile, Starcraft), but my number one favorite has got to be Final Fantasy VII. It's too awesome.

[Celto]

TES Oblivion.

And for some reason, I absolutely loved Earth and Beyond. EVE Online is probably my favorite mmorpg.

[Jangang]

Red Alert
&
Herzog Zwei

[Fikk]

Dragon Quest

UO

[Kralk]

Final fantasy 7

[Unknewn]

RTS: Warcraft 3
FPS: Half-Life
mmo: Shadowbane

rpg: Black isle games.... just in love with them...

The best game of them all is Half life

[facerip]

Quake 3

[doma]

RTS: Starcraft
RPG: Fallout 2
MMO: DF aint out yet.... so I'll go with UO
FPS: Half-Life


Honorable mention that dont fit into a category because its so great: Space Rangers 2.

[imsneaky]

WWIIOL. Nothing touched it in it's ability to allow you to join up in a group of players and do true battle.

Is hard for n00bs though because of its shear size and scope.

[Phalanx]

Day of Defeat

Back when it was new it was the best game ever and it kept me entertained for years.

[imsneaky]

Yeah, Day of Defeat was pretty good. I also really liked the Delta Force Series, especially DF2 and DF: Land Warrior. They were really good games.

[Leric]

suikoden 2 :P classics ftw k?

[LanMandragon]

im trying to find my baldurs gate 2 cd's. Bugger.

[ShadowDemen]

Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Calibur.(I think thats its name)

Why:

The combat system seemed to work perfectly for me. Each officer could have up to 5 units in it(including the officer), and large beast units, such as dragons and golems, costed two unit spaces. The units where placed on a square with nine tiles in it. You could place the units anywhere on those tiles(though you couldn't have a person next to a large beast), and the game told you how effective that formation was. Mages do better in the back, and attack twice, while the opposite was true for Knights. In a battle, you could give the group four orders: Automate(attack whatever you want to), Attack Strongest, Attack weakest, and Attack leader. If there was a unit in front of the leader, units like Kinghts had to kill that one first. And is there was a unit behind the leader, mages would have to kill that unit first. In the boss battles, the fight was over once you killed the leader. If you killed a normal unit leader, however, then that squad would wnader aimlessly, and avoid your army. You could bring up to 10-12 squads with you, and the map would be real-time(though you could puase and still give orders), and there would be stronghold on the map, which would heal your troops, as well as offer other services, such as Witch's den(revive dead soldiers), and a trader(buy items, weapons, armor, and spells. If a soldier died, and you didn't revive them in time, they became undead(zombies, skeletons, vampires, liches, etc.), with no way to return them to the living.

And the storyline was brilliant, especially since you could alter it. Even the most Mundane choicemight actually decide who lives and dies. No matter what you chose, though, the storyline was full of victories, defeats, and betrayals(of both small and large). Oh, and it takes more then five years to see evferything in the game.

[Hubbell]

Asheron's Call for MMORPG
TA for RTS
Halo 2 for FPS

Everyone saying MGS 3, you guys shouldn't be allowed to vote. 1 was the best, 2 was pretty good but not as good, and 3 fucking BLEW.

[Nefastus]

I'm suprised nobody mentioned Fallout 1 and 2.... Which are best games imo.

[doma]

I'm suprised nobody mentioned Fallout 1 and 2.... Which are best games imo.

I'm pretty sure I mentoned Fallout 2. Best RPG ever.

[Darkon]

Hmm, tough call... so i'll just go with some of my favorites...

FF VII
KOTOR I
Devil May Cry 1 & 3
NWN (multiplayer of course, SP gets boring fast)
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (Redemption was fun as well)
WH40K: Dawn of War
Suikoden 1&2 (3&4 didn't impress me so much)

EDITED after spotting Suikoden above, both 1 and 2 earned their place :p

[Porthios]

Multiplayer FPS: BF2 or Tribes 2 (its a dead fucking tie)

Single Player: FarCry (future prediction: Crysis)

MMO: UO (nothing comes close)

[Prime]

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (Redemption was fun as well)


that game was fun. too bad only 4 people played it.

[Fell]

that game was fun. too bad only 4 people played it.

Had tons of potential sadly wasted:(

[Suitepee]

Dynasty Warriors. Preferably 3 and 4. Empires a bit also.

Nothing better than mindless button-bashing and making absolute chaos out of armies. :D And Lu Bu is a f**king hard guy when you're weak. At least,he was on DW3. :eek:

Now that should,could and would be my best MMO ever. It'd be hard to balance arcade-style of DW with MMO gameplay though. But they make it more tactical with each incarnation. And they have Kessen/Empires to work with.

Apart from that gem:

-Super Mario Bros 1.
-Doom 1 & 2.
-The Sims,before the glut of expansions.
-Possibly Pro Evo Soccer. Ultimate party game.

[Atnas]

Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is the best fighting game, and the best games there is.

I like it because you can get really good, and good people kick ass- there's no way a buttonmasher could win. That's why I have high hopes for DFO.

[Porthios]

Multiplayer FPS: BF2 or Tribes 2 (its a dead fucking tie)

Single Player: FarCry (future prediction: Crysis)

MMO: UO (nothing comes close)

Console: Super Smash Bro.

[flagellum]

god of war anyone? dang that is a fun game. also starcraft, super smash bros. and age of mythology, oh yea, and mount and blade.

[Darkon]

Had tons of potential sadly wasted:(
*sighs* A buggy release (like a gamestopping bug which needed a console command to get past it) and one annoyingly long mission killed it... (not to mention a vampire game isn't mainstream material)

[Afgar]

god of war anyone? dang that is a fun game. also starcraft, super smash bros. and age of mythology, oh yea, and mount and blade.

God of war was cool, but it was way too short (as is the case with most games like that)

Fallout

Ya i randomly stumbled onto the game. I heard the company that created it went bankrupt right before release so they just shoveled it out. Then the guy on his own time put out the patches after the company broke apart. If that game would have been a success (which it could have been) would have breathed some fresh air into the RPG genre.

[Horix]

Tribes - Renegade mod - the custom maps where breath taking
BG2
DK/DK2 - hate EA for discontinuing that series
RA - First PC game i sucessfully played online

[Mug]

Ya i randomly stumbled onto the game. I heard the company that created it went bankrupt right before release so they just shoveled it out.

It was a few months after the release that Troika Games started having problems. I think it was a real shame too. Bloodlines was a good game that should have sold more than it did. Same goes for the studios other works, Arcanum and The Temple of Elemental Evil. It's too bad that Bloodlines was over shadowed by Half-life 2, which was released on the same day, so it never really stood a chance at grabbing the headlines.

Vampire the masquerade: Bloodlines.. Scared me stupid in the hotel, and when I was powerful enough, made me feel like a realy bad ass. In the warhouse that gets attacked after talking to some guy. I just remember jumping through the window, out onto the tops of the shelves, and dropping like death onto the first guy I could...

FFVII.. This needs no reason, its beauty, my first RPG.

Baldur's Gate 2.. Again, no reason required, story, rpg elements..

NWN2 single player mode.. This is mainly for the story, as I felt that I was to restricted otherwise as to the choices I made.

Zelda Ocarina of time.. Me and my brother felt like gods after finishing any dungeon, was a truely satisfying game.

MGS 1 and 4.. Number 1 was pure fricken genius, Gray fox.. Revolver Ocelot.. Christ it was magical. 4 for the end. I felt snakes pain as he passed through those waves, my hand was in agony punching circle (or square) to keep him moving. That helped me sympathise with snake for some reason, and the cut scene for the liquid fight... and the liquid fight thereafter... No fight has ever impressed me more, in games or films.. (special mention goes to MGS3, and the snake eater theme tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCgeHDFIFLY )

Resident Evil, Nemesis.. Purely for how much I shit my self inside the first 2 hours of game play.. I learnt the meaning of fear from that.

DMC.. Pure unrefined goodness.. Some parts of that where poetry.

[Xife]

Who is the douchebag that bumped this thread.

Starcraft for me, 10 years and still playing. If Darkfall and Starcraft 2 are released near each other, I'm 90% sure I'll die from lack of sleep/moving/eating.

[Fluffington]

2006 lives again!

[Estrang]

Tough call, I'd say probably Warcraft, Warcraft 2, or possibly Heroes of Might and Magic... Or maybe the 2D RPG Darksun.

Starcraft for me, 10 years and still playing. If Darkfall and Starcraft 2 are released near each other, I'm 90% sure I'll die from lack of sleep/moving/eating.

The thing I really dig about Starcraft is the music was just solid.

[Bloodh4wk]

most blizzard rts games, TFC, Ultima Online

TFC.. *Cough* Newb... *coughcoughcough...*


Oh, and Quake 1 is the greatest game.

[Shas]

UO

Honorable mentions: Doom 1&2(even today with Legacy patch (http://legacy.newdoom.com/))
Quake 1
Dungeon Keeper 2
X-Com UFO Defense(the greatest game I never even came close to beating)
Worms 1(with room of friends)

I beat X-com :eek:

[CrazzyAzn]

The Greatest and most Awesomest game of awesomes is Darkfall. Hands down.





But really I would have to say Elder Scrolls IV: Morrowind. The graphics aren't that bad for its time, but overall everything about the game makes me scream in joy!

[Thoric]

FEAR - just fucking great
DooM 1,2 - with Legacy patch rules
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic - also known as "The Adventures of Sir Kicksalot Deathboot in the Land of the Conspicuously Placed Spike Racks", but it still has a combat system i never get bored of.
Disciples II - Awesome art and addictive gameplay.
The Witcher - RPG masterpiece, can't wait for Enhanced Edition.
Call of Duty 4 - The singleplayer campaign kicks more ass than Chuck Norris at a feminist convention, and the leveling system in multiplayer is well balanced (except the GL/3xFrag)

That sucks. I was looking forward to giving it a shot. I guess i should just stick to 3.

[zakariaz]

By all means go ahead and try it its an okay game it just doesnt get on my all time favorite list;) Even civ 3 only barely made it

[Teutates]

PC:Red alert series, AoE series (not 3), MoH:AA, CS, CoD4, Trackmania Nations.

Console: Crash Bandicoot team racing! (and every crash bandicoot!!!), Destruction Derby

[Suitepee]

Doom 2. Oh yeah,and combine that with the many mods available for it FREE via ZDaemon.

In second place would be Gears of War. Best shooter online ever.

[Agge]

Starcraft.

[Mordhak]

Gta 4.

[Spinewire]

X-Com or Fallout 1/2 would be my choice.

[Agge]

Gta 4.

I rather play wow.

[akrippler]

Suikoden 1 or 2, seriously the MOST epic game you can possibly play, no other game is anything like it.

[Tiarilir]

What's wrong with Civ 4? I haven't had a chance to play it yet.

Civ4 is great, you should definately try it. Get the BTS Expansion, and try out Fall From Heaven 2 too! ;D

it just doesnt do anything for me. I didnt really feel it added anything good to the series.

Did you try Fall From Heaven 2? I didn't really enjoy Vanilla that much, but FFH2 added so much that it was amazing.

Ocarina of Time for me. Even if it wasn't a monsterous leap forward in gaming, it would still have been a great game. The story ,amazing graphics (at the time) and controlls all came together. They tried to expand on it with majora's mask, which was a decent game, but it just didnt have the spirit of ocarina of time.

Ive somone hadnt stolen it from me i would still play it from time to time. All the little subquests and storylines are really fun, if for nothing else than nastalgia. Though i have to say i HHHHAAATTEEDDD the water temple.

BTW nice necro...

[Aragoni]

Evil Genius is better imo.

I disagree. While EG was awesome in every possible way I really never felt as evil as in Dungeon Keeper 2. Get those dwarves into the torture chamber!!!!!

[Odium]

Did anyone at all notice the necro? Or did everyone just get sucked in without reading the thread.

Would you rather a new thread be made about the exact same topic?

[heroshade]

Depends on the mood I'm in. Right now, it's half-life (theres 4 references)

[Paganini]

The game I've gotten the most replay out of is HL with all of its mods, but my overall favorite game is probably Mechwarrior 2

[Killuminati]

I really don't know. I could narrow it down to a few games though.

KOTOR 1 & 2
Metal Gear Solid
FF 6

[Slaker]

bleh... there's so many...

Baldur's Gate, UO, CS, AOE, DOOM, DEUS EX, Tales of Phantasia and many more!

[CTI259]

Probably Dawn Of War.

[killerxj439]

Id have to go with FF 7 and 9 which was the first ff i played and it had the best cg graphics of anything on the playstation.

MechWarrior 4, Mgs 1 2 3 4, FF Crisis Core, Crysis, cant think of anymore

[Haldred]

I am surprised no one has said
Quest for glory 1-4 ZOMG My early childhood was wasted.
Battlezone
Psychonauts.

I always thought FF9 sucked and FF7 was overrated. No where near the best of the franchise.

[Dreadknought]

SWG and the COD series.

[Aragoni]

SWG

I've heard that the NGE is awesome.

[Killuminati]

Pre-CU/NGE swg is one of the best MMOs for sure.

[Lethn]

That's actually a fucking tough one.... I think I'm going to have to say the original Star Wars Galaxies, just because of the sheer amount of things you can do with it though I don't really have a favorite, just favorites.

. Dungeon Keeper 2 did it for me because of how evil you could be and the different things you could do

. Startopia for it's detailed management aspect, for fucks sake you could manage an entire space station! I don't know of any games that have even tried doing something like that, when you got a star dock together and traded with traders you could even see the traders actually dock in with their ships and look outside into space, yeah the 3D itself wasn't that impressive but it was still cool to see

. Baldurs Gate 2 the rich and detailed storyline just did it for me with this one, party members actually had feelings, they objected to certain things you did and respected you more depending on what actions you took or what your reputation was like, the romances weren't pathetically corny like in most RPGs save for one but it was kind of the good warm and fuzzy aww corny rather than the badly written corny

Next Generation games can bite my ass apart from the graphics they're nothing more than a big scam in my opinion because they don't try anything revolutionary in the market beyond adding one or two extra features.

[Bawlin]

Empire Earth, the first one.

[Archplayer]

My top 3 greatest games of all time:
1.) Half-Life
2.) Thief: The Dark Project
3.) Gothic

[timewalk]

world of warcraft
That's just sad. Brannoc will beg to differ tho..

Age of Empire II is the way to go! Best strategy game ever.

[Dreadknought]

I've heard that the NGE is awesome.

When someones says SWG they do NOT mean NGE.

[Xtra-Medium]

rune viking warlord, i aint had that much enjoyment in a game for a while

[Behhemoth]

That's just sad. Brannoc will beg to differ tho..

Age of Empire II is the way to go! Best strategy game ever.

/agree

[Tomaj]

i would hav to say Black and white 1 -the expantion, baulders gate shadows amn and throne of baal, and never winter night platnum. pert much in that order of consoles id have to sat star fox 64, james bond golden eye also 64, legend of dragoon, destroy all humans Ps2, legend of colossus never did best the 3rd one. those are the best i,ve played. btw if any one can find me a good torrent with a crack for black and white id much appreciate it i havent played in so long.

[Mippoose]

Fable.

I actually just played through it again.

Woop for lost chapters!! :]

[peekalo]

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
QFT

[Mippoose]

QFT

Zelda is for tools.

[peekalo]

my mother is used by tools.

haha yea and for dirt cheap too!

[Dredgon]

Black and white 1-2 - are pretty sandbox.

Dark messiah - has amazing gameplay, kept me going for days on end.

Half-Life 1-2 - it's always been fun.

Bioshock - although I got bored with the game quickly it's incredible free and beautiful (Not enough gore was on of the reasons I got bored).

HOWW2, Faces of war - Best WW2 game to date.

[Nehemia]

Red Orchestra.

Agreed, still has the best "war" feeling caught on screen.
Shame I lost my steam accounts pass & secret question answer : /

[cakelizard]

chrono cross for me.

[coreball]

Shining Force II or Final Fantasy Tactics... can't decide.

[Helgeran]

Half-life. It's awesome. I love the AI in that game, even if it isn't very smart it behaves believable. Only with the hunters in Episode 2 the combat in Half-life 2 came close to that of the original.

[Dwhap]

Mine is actually a tie between 3 games. Sid Meyer's Civilizaiton, Doom2, UO.

Civilization was the game that actually hooked me on PC gaming

Doom2 was the first game that actually made me jump out of my chair

UO was the first game to make me twirl my mouse around my head like a lasoo and smash it into little bits on my desk in anger...

[dizzyjoe]

suikoden series
shining force
fantasy star (sega)
UO

[Sofaism]

HL: TFC (started in 2000 playing it... got hardcore into int, then been playing it on and off and still play it every now.... nothing compares to it)

I know title is singular form, but since everyone else is listing multiple games, I will not be left out.

D2x (tons of fun farming cows! and running bot overnight to see what I'd have in AM... then account got banned :( )

and of course, pc games I played growing up:
-duke nukem
-doom
-heroes of might and magic
-AOE

[Arolas]

Final Fantasy VII

Same here, for me. Deus Ex is a very close second.

[Simmy]

The WarCraft and StarCraft games.

Excluding WoW.

The Half-Life 2 after that.

[liq3]

Portal

[sylverCode]

Freelancer, KotOR and WC3 for me.

[Mippoose]

Fable.


The lost chapters even!

[Lukeyg22]

Ultima Online -Pre T2A

[Lukeyg22]

suikoden series
shining force
fantasy star (sega)
UO

Shinning Force My Fav for RPG'S!

[Gem]

Oh god...don't make me choose...

I think I've played every game in this thread and loved most of them...and man, I almost forgot about killer instinct...so many quarters lost to that machine...

I guess if I had to say non MMO that I put the most hours into (because I am forced to put hours into MMO's even if I don't enjoy them) would be

Total Annihilation

As a kid I really enjoyed GSIII but I have a feeling muds wouldn't be so fun nowadays so Im gonna give it honorable mention.

[Astaren]

Final Fantasy VII, Ultima Online, Wild arms, Legend of dragoon and many other old school shit from Sega and psx.

[Unahim]

Dungeon Keeper 2

That game is the only one that really makes you feel evil

Weird, I just picked it up yesterday!

[surGeonFFS]

Ocraina of time. Played that shit till my eyes bled.

[Spinewire]

Suikoden 1 or 2, seriously the MOST epic game you can possibly play, no other game is anything like it.
yea i 2nd that Sudden Strike was good shame they balls up the last one i was looking forward to that

[Arintyll]

Hrm let me date myself.

Pitfall
any Infocom text game.
Wings
688 Attack Sub
Battletech:The Crescent Hawk Inception
Mechwarrior 2 Mercs

Hard to choose a best ever but I lost alot of sleep over the MW games and the D&D games.

[[Malice]Bronson]

I've played most of the games mentioned and I'd still say the best
game of all time is...




Heroes of Might and Magic 3


With Alpha Centauri, starcraft, and Half Life on its heels.

[Bawlin]

Although now that I think about it, Pitfall the Mayan Adventure was a sweet fucking game.

[g0dp0wer]

World of warcraft by far, it has a wide range of choices and lots of freedom.













. GOTCHA! jk the best game is probaly Crysis or Half life2

[Arintyll]

Almost forgot (you do that when you get older)

BESTEST GAME EVA!!!!

PONG

Without which there would have been none of the other games listed. All hail PONG!

[Legolas]

Fallout and Baldurs Gate series

[slugy]
