Games that rewl:
* Master of Magic (despite bugs)
* Master of Orion (despite not being SE-IV
)
* Half-Life/Team Fortress Classic (unfortunately, the first 15 minutes of the Half-Life single-player campaign are more memorable than the Last 15... and yes, I
still play TFC)
* System Shock II (first game to give me goosebumps)
* Diablo II (most fun you'll ever have clicking a mouse over and over and over and...)
* Homeworld (breathtaking graphics, backdrops and soundtrack -- except for that lousy song by Yes! -- and
the best voice acting you'll ever hear... PERIOD)
* X-COM: UFO Defense (set the standard for turn-based squad tactical)
* SE-IV (lest we forget
)
* Lode Runner (I'm talkin' the original Apple ][ Version here, now
)
Biggest Surprises:
* Serious Sam (yes, it's nothing more than Doom II with a facelift, but that's not necessarily a bad thing)
* Shogo: M.A.D (a friend let me borrow this one... I was very reluctant to give it back)
* Heavy Metal FAKK 2 (there's more to this game than staring at Julie Strain's caboose... seriously. A good budget title)
Biggest Disappointments/Suckage:
* Oni (spent less than 6 hours on my hard drive)
* X-COM T.F.T.D (take X-COM, and add water... LOTS of water... how was this supposed to be different?)
* X-COM Apocalypse (appalling graphics; aliens look like poorly rendered Barney's)
* Magic Carpet (this game was
so close to being good, but the darn thing keeps crashing... if they made a newer, bug-free Version, I'd be first in line to buy it. I was so ticked I resolved to never buy another game by Bullfrog ever again)
* Daikatana (I paid exactly $1.00 for the game, and I
still think I got ripped off
. I want those few miserable hours of my life refunded!)
* Pretty much the entire Ultima VII series
* MOO3 (well, I haven't actually
bought it, but it seems that it sucks so much, I can feel the pull from here
)
