Games you miss playing

I had Red Storm Rising for the PC. Great submarine game.

One of the best, most thrilling, spine tingling games that I have ever played was the Alien Vs Predator of the The Atari Jaguar. I am telling you that game stood hair on end in places that I did not think possible. I actually recorded myself playing it from star to finish on a VCR. I can remember when we had no clue as to what to do or where to go, and then you hear it, that unmistakeable purring sound of a predator. He is near by and you like hell to get away. The trip through the Alien mother ship was especially frightening. This game scared me more than any game since. I still get chills think about it.

Sim City 3 UL. This game has got to be one of the best of the series. IT was fun, easy, difficult, playable. Unlike SC4 that is not fun at all.

System Shock II. NOW THIS GAME, is a damned good example of excellent game making. It has a good story, excellent game play, awsome playability and so on. I especially enjoyed it, and just finished playing it again. Now on to DeusEX again.

BOTF. One of the most under appreciated games of all time. For a star trek game it had a lot to offer, but the lawsuites over the Civilization licenses torpedo Microprose and the game was never supported.

Rebellion by Lucas Arts was for all intents and pruposes the first game that I was ever addicted to. Back in 98 when it came out I would stay awayke after work for hour playing it. I loved the game and wish I could have found the fan base sooner than I did. The game had a horrendous learning curve, but once learned, it was a lot of fun to play. I do miss it so.

Doom. Nuff said.

Freespace I - An excellent game that really set the standard for space flight sims.

Zelda and the Legend of Zelda were two of Nintendo finest games. they don't make them like that any more.

Ditto! This game has the best music I've ever heard too since it is linked to the plot not just background crap. When you hear that erie music start up you know something bad is about to happen!

Ultima Underworld I & II, why did they have to have an end??

I don't miss Civ 2 as I still play it, but not as much as I play CivNet. (Both installed on my computer and I've played them in the beginning of this year)

Space fighters: X-wing (The original before Tie-fighter) and the two Freelancer games, goodies!

But apart from the Ultima Underworld games and Civ 1&2 there's really no old game I'd play again, (kind of a lie as I play old arcade games on the MAME emu...but thats something completely different!)

For the Last 6 months I haven't played any game except SEIV.
Will have to brush up on some other games as we're having a LAN weekend this autumn though;
Unreal tournament, Heroes of might and magic IV.

I know Ruatha, they were great, I have all the older Versions boxed away.

What was it - I thru IV was Commodore 64

Then V-VIII DOS or windows 3.1 a few were a little buggy as I recall.

Then Ultima IX Ascension for 95+

Ultima IV and Ultima IX was my favorite. However I never Finished V-VII
My son loves ultima IX Ascension.

I never have time to even try the On Line Version, besides once I am on, I will never get off, so I don’t dare
