Homeworld is such an awesome game.

 

[Hawkshaw_245]

Civilzation.........there is no substitute.

 

[Snowdog]

Since I've been playing PC games almost since the PC came out (my first PC was an Amstrad PC1512), some of these games may not be familiar to some, but my list is:

Starflight (my first ever PC game)
Starfleet I
Might And Magic 2
Panzer General
Heroes Of Might And Magic 3
Baldur's Gate
Medieval: Total War

I forgot Civilization 2

 

[kaneda]

I'm actually quite fussy on games. SO only Baldurs gate and divine divinity make it into my list.

 

[cornelius]

Morrowind
Diablo II
Panzer general 2
duke nukem - yeah baby!
half life


Is anyone taking scores? we could make a giant poll about it

starting to enjoy Baldur's gate 2 tho, an there are some games that I'mreconsidering, like stronghold, Battle realms, and of course Soulbringer - no one else seems to have heard about that last one, it's a pitty... most people won't get my excitment about it, but it's the first PCgame I bought (not first PC game played, that had to be duke nukem 3D ) and I loved it

Let's see, best ever, of all time? I can only tell you how I feel about that currently, likely in two days I will have changed my mind if not slightly, then entirely. But here goes.

In best game order (1=best)

1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Simply the best game of all time. One of those pick up and play games, where you can pretty much do whatever you want, whenever you want.

2. Sim City 4
Okay, so the arcologies were apparently removed from the game, but still a great game that stands the test of time, and allows you to build cities that supply each other. Another one of those pick up and play games.

I'm too drunk with beer and football to continue, sorry...

1) Half Life 1 & 2 - narrative thrust & setting are sublime.
2) Far Cry - intense, colourful & freeform.
3) Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmoon - too many hours spent as a Khajiit thief when I should've slept.
4) Sytem Shock 2 - THE most scariest & disturbing game ever.

 

[cyphus4]

That's very difficult, especially since I have been playing pc games for about 12 - 13 years. I'll give it a shot, however.

Diablo 2 - no competition, the most addictive PC game I've ever played. I think I played it like a year straight.
Deus Ex - I noticed this one is on alot of posted list, hmm....
Baldur's Gate 2 - Liked both of 'em, but the story and the character control from this game has still never been beat in an RPG.
Warhammer 40k - Yes, I know...its not Warcraft, AoE, or CnC, but its a very solid game with good replay value.
Rome: Total War - Best strategy Game ever, period.
Crusader: No Remorse - How many of you remember this game?

 

[bendoran]

half life 1+2 with counterstrike included. havent stopped playing since it was released

deus ex, took the system shock scenario and set it againsta world stage. amazing.

RTW - swallowed whole chunks of my life

battlezone 2 - pure class

monkey island 1+2

 

[star.torturer]

Halflife
unreal tournament (best game ever by far)
sim city 3000
sims
Call of Duty
empire earth
Command and Conquer games
Total war games
Grand theft auto
worms
Theme park

 

[Rich Denoncourt]

I am in complete and utter shock.

What about Fallout?

For those of you who haven't played it, it's a post apocalyptic role-playing game that came out in the mid to late 90s (the sequel was, in many ways, better than the original). A must-play for ANY sci fi enthusiast.

 

[Marya]

I saw a few adventure games scattered in there (Zork, Monkey Islands, Beneath A Steel Sky, The Longest Journey).

For me:

Grim Fandango
The Longest Journey
Syberia I and II

I will probably be adding Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max: Hit the Road and Monkey Island I and II as soon as I am done playing them.

 

[the smiling weirwood]

Diablo 2
Baldur's Gate 2
Galactic Civilization : Dread Lords
Star Control
Starcraft
Warcraft 3
Oblivion
The Sims

 

[Finnien]

I'd go with Civilization, Master of Magic, Heroes of Might and Magic III, Wing Commander III, Doom, Diablo, and most recently World of Warcraft.

Oh damn, good call! Add that one to my list! Both of the Fallouts were exceptional games. Unfortunately it seems the franchise has been swapped around a few times and some less satisfactory games have emerged, but the original PC RPG's were just amazing.

 

[kyektulu]

Without a doubt Balders Gate 2

 

[kyektulu]

Oh yes Im currently playing Diablo 2, thats great also!
