do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Mechwarrior series! teh l33test sci-fi series of them all!

Metroid series, Chrono series, System Shock 2 and Final Fantasy 6.

Everything else? Filler. Yes. Even Iwar2.

3 and 4 + expansions were the best. 2 was okay, never played 1 though.

1 is suspiciously absent from existence it would seem...

But I have some of my fondest gaming memories logged on Mechwarrior 2...

Here's my list, in no particular order:

1.) Deus Ex - The first one, not the second one. I didn't care for the second one so much.

2.) Starcraft (and the expansion)

3.) Red Alert (1 & 2)

4.) FS (both) - Of course

5.) Half Life

6.) Doom series


Yeah, I'm a gamer :)


EDIT: Oh yeah, and Quake 2

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

For PC games I'll nominate Sacrifice.

It's an action RTS game like Uprising or Battlezone where you control a mage in a third-person view. The game's got a great atmosphere and every one of the game's gods and their realms are nicely fleshed out. There are basically 5 campaigns (one for every god) in the game, but it's possible to mix missions.

Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

just rumors floating about, as far as i know, i read it in a PC powerplay somerwhere, UbiSoft haven't said anything at all, just "planning to release three games" the devs behind BG&E pretty much said that it's meant to be part of a trilogy, we can only hope, however.:nod:

Probably Silent Hill 2. I'd say series but I didn't like the first one much, third one didn't have the same quality of storyline (still good though) and while the fourth had that, the gameplay was terrible.

No particular order:
Legacy of Kain series
New PoP series
Metal Gear Solid series (excluding the parts where you actually play the game... which I hate.)
Sacrifice
Hostile Waters
Myst series
Doom 3

Beyond Good & Evil will probably be on that list soon too, but I haven't gotten around to playing it even though I bought it about a week ago.

Fatal Racing, AKA Whiplash.  Is this what you have?  I did some poking around, and there was said to be a special Windows 98 version of Whiplash/Fatal Racing available, but information is scarce.  This is probably why you have more tracks.


Yup, that's the one, but I've never seen it called whiplash before (too bad, it's a more funny name, fatal racing, that's lame), and they have quite ugly artbox :p

X-COM 1  and X-COM 2  (Even though I still can't beat the **** second one. Got right up to the end...and then some Sectoid MC'd my guy on the Disruptor launcher. Kaboom.) 3 was for crap. Never tried Interceptor. I know there was at least one other game in the series beyond that, but have never actually seen it, only heard it referred to.

Urban Assault was incredibly fun...pity I only discovered it while messing with the demo long after release. I still haven't found a copy.

Escape Velocity: Nova  Sidescroller...well, not quite. But fun, great story. And never, NEVER trade in a souped-up Mod Starbridge for anything short of a Polaris ship or a RAGE Gunboat.

Starship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy Squad-level realtime, 3D, graphically owed to the movie, gameplay owed to the book, plot not quite either. Great fun. Still working on the last few missions...

Steel Panthers 3: The last of the Avalon Hills-style hexed-based uber-detailed wargames made for PC. Command forces from many countries, varying in size up to a brigade, through a variety of time periods, starting in 1939 and continuing to 1999. Play several historical campaigns, or a variety of historical (and a few what-if) scenarios. Have it generate a campaign for you to play. Build a campaign or scenario to play. It's great, great fun, nicely intuitive so you don't get confused, but also capable of the full complexity and detail one would expect from a tabletop game.

MechCommander, MechCommander Gold, MechCommander 2, and Magic's Unoffical Expansion for MC2.

MegaMek. It's Classic BattleTech for your computer, complete with multiplayer over the 'net. Get it. NOW.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. I could spend days describing how this game is simply soul-owning, but I won't. Suffice to say it is.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2, and I'm not ashamed of it (currently in 20th place in the Jazz Duelist Challenge tournament :P).

This is not a signature.
You did not see this.
It was all a dream.
You will not tell anyone about this.

Now go and read this signature again.

So, you actually bothered to scroll down, eh? If you're that bored, you might as well take a look at the links above.

Oh man, there are so many...
FS1/2 of course, FF6, MGS series, Half-Life 1, Deus Ex, MW3, Zelda games especially Link's Awakening and Wind Waker (I know it's a sin but I haven't played OoT all the way through), all Metroid games except the original (I'm not hardcore enough to beat a metroid game w/o save points), Tie Fighter, NWN, and finally an honorable mention to Golden Sun and its sequel for keeping me entertained on many airplane rides.

[color=66ff00]Are you mad? The first one was fantastic and remains to this day my favourite PSone game.

I haven't played a game since that gave me that feeling of claustrophobia and dread. The sequels were too samey to be interesting.
