Your 3 fondest PC games memories.

Fallout (I love this game, first RPG that made me crazy) StarCraft (I used to stayed up all night and played on battle.net) Diablo 2 (the reason I signed up for DSL, the fastest connect I could get at the time)

Sensible World Of Soccer (Amiga 1200) - I held onto my Amiga for years just to play this game. Quake - First decent game I bought for my PC Freespace 2 - bit old now, but I still like playing it occasionally. Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

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.) Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

Yeah, I loved that game too :) Your post made me want to go home and install it again... I just did a quick check on NolfGirl.com and TheGlueFactory.com and people actually still play the original NOLF online... - Anders My new photo website[^]

I prefer ES , but Once I played a game called TZAR - The Burden of the crown It's not from ES but was excellent.What I played was a demo version :(.. Now I'm really not getting time to sit for games. Soon I'll free myself up and start collecting the games again. :cool:.. You know , I played very little campaigns in AOE3 and too little AOM.. they are cool, but something in AOE-II Conqueror attaracts me the most. I never get enough of it :). I love the spanish civilization.. and you? and you still play games at home?

AoE 2 or 3? They're my 2nd fav in AoE2, Saracens being the best. I haven't explored AoE3 all that much, though I rather like the Germans. Cheers, Vikram.

All the "Quest" games (Kings quest etc) Command and Conquer 1 Warcraft 1 Starcraft Far Cry Final Fantasy 8 all the Tekken games (Arcade and PS2) Civilisation Some of the "Sim" games Quake I'll post more as they pop up in my head. I didn't get any sleep last night. I just bought Scrubs seasons 1 through 3 on DVD :D

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

Final Fantasy VII. Best RPG ever. Heroes of Might and magic 2. AI for this game was great. Its better than most people. Starcraft.

2 Sarcens?? I've defeated Sarcens plenty of times if my friends(opponent in the game!) take it.:-> :-> Do you play AOE2 Online?

Yup, No idea about AOE3, I've played few scenarios as English, If I remember it correctly. I'll start my experiments on AOE3 soon.

If you like civilization, you definitely need to check out civ 4. A must-play.

Totally forgot about Wing Commander, and how I had to upgrade my video card and system memory to play it. Thanks for the jolt!
- S 50 cups of coffee and you know it's on!
I actually have never managed to play the WingCommander 2 properly. First my computer was to slow when I bought it (second hand in London no less :D), then it was to fast, so I had to cheat my way through just to see the story. I so love(d) the series :D --------------------------- 127.0.0.1 - Sweet 127.0.0.1

Defender, Kaboom, and Grand Prix on my old Atari 2600 (not exactly PC but hey), back in the day :-D
Kaboom - so simple, but so addictive. I reckon if the new PS3 has the same impact today as the 2600 did then, my marriage will end. Regards Angel ********************************************* The sooner you fall behind, the longer you have to catch up.
