Games We Cherish
Now it is getting to the end of the year and I have cleaned up my computer hard drive. I cleaned up my computer drawer and found ... hell...about 70 games stored away from X-Com to Harpoon to Ascendancy to Might-and-Magic to Civilization III. And of course SE (III and now IV) always gets installed first.
What games do you install on your computer that you cherish? After all the years and dozens of games we probably all have (some we regret getting), those few games that we cannot live without having on our computer. |
Re: Games We Cherish
Hi,
X-com TFTD is still a great game but XP doesn't like it much. I have to have a dual boot system to play it. Warlords 3 is another classic and now that Doomsday has produced an incredible conVersion (runs under XP and with 3D Models) I'm playing Doom, Doom 2 and Heretic again. |
Re: Games We Cherish
I only have SEIV on my system.
Harpoon? Cool, I loved both the paper and the Computer Version. Did you know the designer and his crew were "intensly interviewed" by certain govenmental officials as to where they got their data for the game. (some of it came from the Russians). |
Re: Games We Cherish
I used to have MoM on my computer. Now it is replaced by AoW/AoW2
Slightly OT, but I like original AoW more than the sequel. |
Re: Games We Cherish
I don't think I've uninstalled any of my PC games....except for Tribes, and that's because I replaced it with Tribes 2.
However, I still haven't finished the game Tachyon, and I enjoyed it. Partly because I'm a Bruce Campbell fan(he does the voice for the main character), and he's got a persona/presence that is just too funny. I hope to get back into that game and even complete the adventure, at least once. Never mind all the major decision points in the game where the story diverges. While the game is a 1st person pilot shoot-em up, there are adventures that stray at least a little ways off of that. |
Re: Games We Cherish
My three old stand-byes are SE3, TAoW, and Janes’ Fleet Command.

Re: Games We Cherish
SEIV and ToME for me.
SEIV you should all know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif Tome is Troubles/Tales of Middle Earth. http://www.t-o-m-e.net Based on Moria and Angband similar to nethack/DO etc Latest Version can be got from : http://angbandcvs.homedns.org/ |
Re: Games We Cherish
Oh, so you like roguelikes too? Why don't you try Ancient Domains of Mystery (www.adom.de)? Only trouble with those games is trying to play them on a laptop, you have to set the diagonal movement controls to weird things like pageup or F9 because there's no number pad http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Empire Deluxe! I still dust that off on occasion when it's time for mindless conquering. Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate is a great game if you are interested in the 40K miniatures game (which I am). Diablo II still lingers, also. Just can't quite bring myself to delete all those characters... |

My permanent installs are SE IV, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire, and Civilization II.

Re: Games We Cherish

Re: Games We Cherish
I had SEIV, AOW2, TOAW, CIVIII, Avernum 3, Morrowind, Harpoon 3, Mechwarrior 4, Mechcommander 2, Links 2002, Diablo 2, BGIITOB, Icewnind Dale II, Fallout Tactics, SPWAW, Starships Unlimited DG, TWE, X-COM Apocalypse, Close Combat III & V, Unreal Tournament 2003, X-Beyond, Starfleet Command OP, Starfleet Command III, C&C Tiberian Sun, Nox, Emperor Battle for Dune, Starcraft, and a couple others.
I have been pretty much a collector of games. Never devote much time to most of them, dable once in a while. Mostly play SEIV and TWE due to the depth you and abilty to create and modify your own game. Have removed all others for the new years new games coming and to get some space back on my HD. Games waiting for: Combat Leader - Cross of Iron, Fading Suns Noble Armada, MOOIII, and there are a couple others coming out next year. 2003 - wonder if this is some significance year? |

SE:4 Gold, HoMM3 Complete, HoMM4, D2:LoD, AoE2:AoK, Emperor: Battle for Dune, M&M7, M&M9, OmniBandTK, Kyodai Mahjongg, LaserCross: Deluxe (I made it!) and the following I dust off from time to time.. Alpha Centauri, Red Alert 2, Civ2: ToT, Starcraft, Warcraft2,.. and I have another 50+ gameboxes sitting on my shelves, stacked on my dresser, stuffed in my closet, etc! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
I get the feeling someone is trying to 'judge' us by the games we keep! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Cheers! P.S. speaking of the 'other' stuff on my shelves, has anyone else played a game called 'Legacy' from Sierra? I thought that was a pretty good game, I must have played it through at least 3 times completely. |
