Are you asking about very old games when you say 'fondest'? I haven't been using computers for very long, but these are my favorite games: 1. Age of Empires 3 2. Age of Mythology 3. Age of Empires 2 - The Conquerors Expansion Cheers, Vikram.

Gosh...my fondest memories dated waaaay before (but not before you Amiga and Commodore owners out there). RPG Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate Might and Magic IV (I think that's the best of the classic I-V) Ultima V and VI: The False Prophet, I'd say VII is the pinnacle of Ultima. Strategy Sword of Aragon Romance of Three Kingdom I-III Civilization Simulation SimCity & SimCity 2000 Railroad Tycoon Theme Park Adventure Monkey Island Loom Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis (all these by LucasArt). There are plenty more that I've forgotten, but those gems above will do ;).

Civlization (first game to make me loose track of time. Got home from school that day at around 14.00, next thing I knew it was 02.00) Fallout 2 (not my first RPG, but the first I really liked) Wing Commander (Not much to say, one of my first computer games and I simply fell in love with the series) I miss the games of yore --------------------------- 127.0.0.1 - Sweet 127.0.0.1

I'll give 5, in chronological order: The original Tetris. (It's still the best version!) Descent 3. (This was the first first person shooter that really really hooked me. For me, it was the first that showed what really was possible. This was also the first computer games my kids really started playing in earnest.) No One Lives Forever. (No game before or since has quite matched the pure joy of this game, though World of Warcraft comes close.) Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun. (The first strategy game that hooked me. My kids and I still occasionally play it to this day.) World of Warcraft. (I was skeptical, but my oldest son really wanted it. He saved some money, I built a faster computer and we bought it. I created a character and next thing you know I'm totally hooked. So hooked, I went from playing through a new game once a month, to playing through only three within the last fifteen months [Including Doom 3, which sucked, and Half Life 2, which was decent.]) [EDIT: I should add that my truly fondest memories aren't the games themselves, but how excited my kids would get, and still get, when I play them. My youngest son especially loves to sit next to me and just watch and help. We made a good team. I can't count the times I'd be standing in a virtual room scratching my head as to what to do next when my nine-year-old son would impatiently tell me the solution to the puzzle. Some fathers connect with their boys through baseball, I do so through computer games. So, anyone who mocks computer games can just go to hell as far as I'm concerned.)

Totally forgot about Wing Commander, and how I had to upgrade my video card and system memory to play it. Thanks for the jolt!

Always fun to play a little Joust, but don't kick your machine like you're in the arcade! :laugh:

Yes! MAME is quite cool. My little brother and his friend have been building a MAME cabinet for the past couple months or so :-D

This was a great game. So good, a few years ago, I bought the latest Indiana Jones game. It sucked. Badly. What a shame. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

Nice! :cool: The keyboard doesn't quite cut it on some of those games where you need 2 joysticks, like Robotron.
