Default Re: What other games complement your Dominions 3?

chrispederson: There's a lot of definitions for 'Best': How many of those games has a world-wide cult following 25 years later? Or inspired one of the most popular and long-lasting genres in the gaming industry (Dungeons of Daggorath is considered the grandfather of all first person 3D shooters, and for that matter, isn't very dissimilar to the original 'Doom' or 'Diablo'), or had so many innovations in sound, graphics, and atmosphere?

For that matter, how many of those games would I, personally, enjoy playing 25 years after they were made (I don't need the best graphics in the world to enjoy a game, but I have my limit as to what I can stand, and DoD doesn't trip that limit)-or having played them 25 years ago, had so many fond memories of?

And it's a game I can validly bring to these forums, in the expectation that others here might reasonably feel the same way about. It's impressive that your racing game was build with only 1 line of code, and I congratulate whoever built it on their success, but as you yourself say, it's just an average racing game.

8 kilobytes might actually be a lot, compared to however many it took to make that game, but it gives back a lot for those 8 kilobytes.

Yes, it's my 'personal opinion' that Dungeons of Daggorath is the best, but it's an educated opinion, and I'm a fanatic, so good luck convincing me otherwise
