• Dune (the original) - Classic strategy game based on Herbert's epic
• Beyond A Steel Sky - Early 90's point-and-click adventure game, complete with a brilliantly sarcastic British voiceover
• Halflife and Halflife: Blueshift - THE PC FPS of the mid 90's
• Deus Ex - A classic, clever and compelling combination of FPS and RPG that was far better than its recent sequel.
• Doom - Say no more

Diablo was among my favorites. The game wasn't so fun as a single player, but the online option was what made this game noteable. It was the first free online rpg game (yes, the rpg description is a bit problematic, I agree), and it offered a server that allowed both PC and Mac players to play together: something that doesn't seem all too common. Since I had a Mac at the time, I was grateful for a game I could go into any store and buy without being forced to seek out a Mac outlet instead.

No one else thinks Zork was great? Oh,,... I loved that game. I still find it difficult, but great. I actually found a copy of it with graphics. it was crazy!

 

[cj719]

<---is a strategy/RPG nut so I'd have to remind everyone of the classics:

The Bard's Tale series
Wizardry (6-7 were better than 8 imo)
Civ I, II (all its flavors), III & IV is on the way!
HOMMs all rocked
Master of Magic
Master of Orion (II was just ok...lets not talk about III)
and last but not least...everyone's favorite trading game...
M.U.L.E. !!!

*silly first-person shooter-gamers*

BTW, great place for old abandonware is www.the-underdogs.org

 

[Kassad]

Outcast (NOT Jedi outcast -wich is a pretty good game BTW)

Like Brian said: X-com and op flashpoint are also excellent.

Daggerfall only for the hundreds of hours I spent on this one.

 

[willb]

I can play this game too


Little Big Adventure (it had some other name in the USA)
X-Com Terror from the Deep
Tie Fighter
Deus Ex
Citadel (on beeb micro)
Simon the Sorceror
Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis
Mechwarrior 3
Master of Orion 2
Elite 2
Jedi Knight (Dark Forces 2)
Megatraveller: The Zhodani Conspiracy

Those are probably the ones I devoted the largest part of my life to them (LBA2 is discounted by virtue of my brother and myself completing the whole game in a single 36 hour period, though it is still a great game).

 

[Sensei]

[Crow]

Hmmm.
1.)Medieval:Total War was pretty good, though a bit annoying. Rome:Total War will probably be better.
2.)Far Cry. I haven't played this properly, but hell, it looks amazing, the A.I. is pretty good too.
3.)Half Life. Bit dated now of course, but an authentic, innovative approach to the genre.
4.) The Baldur's Gate games. NwN is let down by a poor single player campaign.
5.)Age of Conquerors. Age of Mythology is a titillating game, but it never felt as addictive or potent as it's predecessor.

Halo was quite fun online too...

Seems that you like FPS, don't you ?

 

[Tsujigiri]

I like FPS on the pc, because it means I can dl mods from the communities and extend the enjoyment of the game
