Ah, I forgot Deus Ex. Definately one of the all-time great games, in my opinion. They don't make them like that anymore. It'd probably bump out X-Wing on my list.

I am rather surprised that at the lack of System Shock 2 in this thread's lists, though. It, too was great, and far better than Bioshock.

Mechwarrior 1, Star Control 2, Molez, V-Wing, Cyber Empires, Tyrian, Master of Magic, Jagged Alliance 2, and Counter Strike deserve honorable mentions.

SS2 was mentioned at least once. I've been thinking of playing it, but thought I'd have to play SS1 to enjoy it.

I've never played SS1, but loved SS2. It's almost impossible to get SS1 to run on modern computers, unfortunately. Plus, SS1 is a pseudo FPS that doesn't have mouse support, so it'd be very difficult to actually play these days.

you really didn't have to play to SS1 for enjoying the second, just read a summary of the story.

I forgot Deux Ex 1 and SS2 too (... and Fantasy General, and Genesia, Star Wars: TIE Fighter, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Dune 1, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Syndicate, Thief II: The Metal Age, Ultima VII: The Black Gate, Arx Fatalis, Rainbow Six)
