Games We Cherish

[Cheeze]

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.

My three old stand-byes are SE3, TAoW, and Janes’ Fleet Command.

SEIV and ToME for me.
SEIV you should all know

Tome is Troubles/Tales of Middle Earth.

Based on Moria and Angband
similar to nethack/DO etc

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

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.

I remember Ascendency. Great concept, but pretty lousy execution. The 3D systems were really neat, but the bugs and horrible AI killed a promising game. It even had good music.

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.

For me, it is: Se3, Se4, Civ2 Gold, Civ2 ToT, MoM, MOO2, BOTF. Wow, that's a lot of acronyms.
