OT - your fav games

[PvK]

RTT (Real-Time Tactical) - Myth: The Fallen Lords, Myth II: Soulblighter.

TBT (Turn-Based Tactical) - Tigers on the Prowl series (HPS Simulations), Combat Mission series (Battlefront).

RTS - I can't think of any that I really like, that are really RTS, because I dislike having to do strategic thinking OR micromanage my combat.

TBS - King of Dragon Pass. Total War series.

FSM (First-Person Melee) - Rune, at about 80% speed with no Rune powers.

FPS - I still haven't tried Deus Ex, but will some time. Various mods that tend to make weapons more lethal, and don't include Bunny-hopping.

RPG - Dungeon Crawl. Dungeon Master. Wizard's Crown (late 1980's, was derivative of GURPS combat system). GURPS (not computer). TFT (not computer). Haven't tried Baldur's Gate, but will some time. I don't like D&D mechanics (Hugo's "levels" of experience make your axe hit a mere flesh wound...).

4X - Space Empires IV Gold, preferably modded. I didn't like Civilization much (too fake).

MMO - Fortunately I've not been happy with any of the game systems, so I've avoided getting hooked on any of them. If the GURPS one ever gets done, and uses real GURPS mechanics, then that might change.

If you are talking about the C64 game, I have it on my machine right now. That game was so ahead of it's time that it's not even funny.

$100 on ebay? Hey, I have a copy of TA that I never broke the shrink wrap on....

That was a great game. Not my favorite of all time but for its time, it was pretty strong. Even had a sequel, Eternal Dagger, iirc.

Both are abandonware. The emulator and 2 games are less than 100k (lol). Want me to attatch?
