Well, let's see... I've liked very different games, so I'm not gonna place these into any other order than in which they come into my mind.

FreeSpace, FreeSpace 2 and FS_Open
Red Baron (from 1991...)
Il-2 Sturmovik series
X-Wing, Tie Fighter, X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter (of which the Tie Fighter was the best, obviously)
Grand Prix 2
Rome: Total War & Barbarian Invasion
Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2 (and most likely Halo 3 too)

...What more? Well that's actually more than ten games, but less then ten genres. I haven't really played that many games that I liked a lot, these ones come to mind as the most memorable.


By the way, I just got an idea. When Spore comes out here and gets a little cheaper, I'm so totally going to try and engineer Flood and Shivans into it and see who would win... Then I release them into multiplater servers. :mad2: ;7

Post by: CP5670 on January 19, 2007, 01:03:24 am
1: FreeSpace 2 (1999)
2: Deus Ex (2000)
3: Lemmings (1992)
4: Unreal Tournament (1999)
5: Descent 3 (1999)
6: Command & Conquer (1995)
7: Infotron (1993)
8: Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (2005)
9: Mission Critical (1995)
10: Fate of Atlantis (1994)

I have tried to avoid multiple games in the same series (FS1, etc.) for variety. There is usually one among them that stands out anyway.

Post by: CmdKewin on January 19, 2007, 11:25:16 am
Lets see... It's not realy a list where 1 is better than anything else, but more of the 10 games I continuosly play, no matter how many years have passed.

1 ) Civilization -> from the first one up to version IV. I lost count of how many hours i've spent moving settlers, planes, ships and armys around.
Proud victim of the "Just One More Turn Syndrome".
2 ) SimCity -> again, every game in the series.
3 ) X-Wing, Tie Fighter, XvT and X-Wing Alliance. Well :D These will forever have a special place in my heart. Also because XvT was the first game I ever played online.
4 ) Flight Simulator  -> I always wanted to become a real pilot, but for "medical" reasons, I can't. So PC simulations are better than nothing. Starting from FS 4.0 up to lastest installment.
5 ) Deus Ex -> absolutely the BEST scifi fps/rpg ever. And for me beeing a fanatic of post-apocaliptic-bladerunnerish settings, it's easy to understand why :D
6 ) Homeworld 1 -> I had tears the first time a burning Kharak apperared on the screen.
7 ) Star Control 2 -> Brilliant game, from the fog of time, when computer games where something "special" and personal.
8 ) FreeSpace (and SCP) -> a bit low in the list but still present on my hard-disk.
9 ) Super Mario Bros. 3. There's a long rivalry between me and my sister: I still haven't beaten her after more than 17 years. So it deserves a place here.
10) Hearts of Iron 2. I like all the Paradox games in general, but HoI 2 is still the one I fire up the most.

Title: Re: Ten favorite games
Post by: Herra Tohtori on January 19, 2007, 08:24:39 pm
As far as I know, it was some kind of cut back limited edition of FS2, and it was exclusively (?) in bundle distribution with some products. Dunno anything else about it, though...

IIRC, it was released with a certin kind of joystick. It included everything up to Enif Station and the introduction of the Collie.



I'm suprised that more people didn't put Deus Ex. That game was (is) amazing.
Title: Re: Ten favorite games
Post by: CP5670 on January 19, 2007, 10:16:08 pm
It's number 2 on the list for me. FS2 just barely eclipses it due to its modding capabilities. Although I did omit a few other excellent games that I would have added in if there were more slots; Battlezone 2 and Unreal would probably be 11 and 12 for me.
