Re: OT - your fav games
 

well some of these games may not be 'the best' but i have the fondest memories playing them.

Ultimate Wizard C64
Immortal Amiga
Pirates! C64, Amiga, Ibm (this is my all-time favorite game)
Wizardry 5 bane of the cosmic forge
Ultima 5
Tunnels of Doom TRS80
DOM2
City of Heroes
Dune 2 (heh, i bought it after work and didn't sleep until i had to go the next day) IBM DOS
Wings Amiga, loved the dog-fighting

oh yeah and the one that started me down the path to collosal (sp?) amounts of wasted time, asteroids.

how shameful of me...I forgot Fallout.

Re: OT - your fav games
 

TBS - Stars!

RTS - Kohan

Re: OT - your fav games
 

RPG: AD&D Classics (mostly played on C64): Pool of Radiance, Curse of Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades, Pools of Darkness
Dragonlance Classics - Champions of Krynn, Death Knights of Krynn, Dark Queen of Krynn.
Neverwinter Nights would be if I had ANY means of buying them where I live. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Fallout 1-2 (Arynn, Fallout is RPG, not TBS http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif , Fallout TACTICS is TBS)

TBS: Squad Based: Jagged Alliance 1-2 (with the recent fan mod Urban Chaos), X-com 1-3, Tactics Ogre (SNES emulator needed).
Space Strategy: Moo2 (about +1000000 hours of my life spent playing it), Space Empires IV, SMAC (it falls into Space strategy as it is on alien planet I guess), CIV 1-3 (because SMAC is here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ), Emperor of the Fading Suns.
Fantasy Strategy: MoM, Age of Wonders (only first one as I think they butchered the sequel to make it more public friendly - improved sound and graphics and reduced gameplay), Dom2 (now this one must come as a surprise to everyone http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif ), HOMM 3 (barely makes it here as I find the developers support, marketing and selling policy to be disgusting to say the least).
Wargames: I'm learning to play Steel Panthers at the moment but it looks like it's going to be my favourite.

RTS: Total War series (Shogun TW, Medieval TW), Total Annihilation (I guess Norfleet has some taste after all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ), Ogre Battle (SNES emulator needed).

FPS: Unreal Tournament, Unreal Tournament 2004, Far Cry (Single Player), the rest I wouldn't touch with the stick.

Management games: Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

There are probably lots of games that I didn't mention as I was making this list "on the fly".

Re: OT - your fav games
 

RPG: Betrayal at Krondor (free nowadays!), Baldur's Gate 1 (haven't tried 2 yet), Fallout 1 (same as with BGs)

Roguelike: ADOM, lately Crawl too
TBS: DomII, Dom:PPP, Master of Magic (I never really got into it, though)

RTS,FPS, MMO: Never found any I really liked, didn't get in Total Annihilation either... Probably I just don't like the genre

I also have X-com 1, The Ur-Quan Masters (Star Control 2 remake), DragonStrike and King's Quest 1 remake on my machine... Only the two first I _really_ like, others are just good. I would like to like Allegiance (also free), but haven't had time to try yet.

Re: OT - your fav games
 

I forgot this wonderful BBS won't let us attatch files (or host pics, or avatars, or read forwards). Here's the link to Wizard's Crown. I'm sure you can manage an emulator, and Dagger is there as well.

Edited by Zen: Find it at the underdogs. Go google skillz or PM Blitz for a link.

Re: OT - your fav games
 

Yes, that Wizard's Crown. I have it for the Atari ST. The combat seems to have been covertly based on the GURPS combat system, which is even better (for expert players who use maps and all the rules correctly), but not yet computerized (though a MMORPG is in the works).

Eternal Dagger was another in the series, and I sort of thought there might've been a third, but I could be making that up.

The series had tactical combat details and mortal-scale dangerous weapons - things that got me interested in and hooked on Dominions.
