oh yea, MOM was one of the best games ever made, i used to play it on the c64. there are some modern console games that are cheap knock offs with spiffy graphics but no comparison on the content.

My top 5

1) Bloodwitch (amiga), I think it was called. A rpg that you could play 2 players at one screen.

2) Ports of Call. You transported and sold cargo all over the world. Brilliant game. (amiga)

3) Diablo 1 & 2.

4) Space Empires 4.

5) Boulder dash (c64) A realy addictive game. One of the first computer games I played.

Games that didnīt make it to top 5:

Defender of the crown(c64),Eye of the beholder 1 & 2, command and conquer 1, civ, Homm 3 and imperialism 2(multiplayer only).

I have probably forgot to mention allot of good games.

Ports of Call. Dang now that brings back memories. Thats was a great game. We used to have a shop here where you could rent software and one weekend I gave that a try. Ended up buying it. Great game.

Favorite games eh? Well let me walk down memory lane..

1) Space Empires IV (current champ)
2) Master of Orion II
3) Ultimate Civilization (the one you could mod )
4) Diablo I/II (II needs better graphics/dungeons though, they were better in I)
5) Alpha Centauri
6) Baldurs Gate I/II/Icewind Dale etc.
7) Raid on Bungling Bay (c-64 )
8) Curse of the Azure Bonds (c-64)
9) Bards Tale I/II
10) Sinistar !!!!!(I LIVE! I HUNGER! RUN RUN!)

Ones that didn't make it but are still damn good: Birth of the Federation (too easy, Borg to damn hard), Master of Orion I (fond memories!), Civ I(the classic), Warlords II, Bandit Kingdoms of Ancient China (Nintendo), Romance of The Three Kingdoms IV (PS), and Ultima IV. oh yeah and Phantasy I, II, III for the C-64.

Leoric - I remember Defender OT Crown on the Amiga... brilliant game. Glorious graphics (at the time, anyway.)

I didn't realise we were going all the way back to the C64... anyone remember these:

Hades Nebula - perfectly balanced scrolling shoot 'em up.

RimRunner (I think) Something about giant lizards and ant people. Remember it being very very good.

Alien (C64 Version) - The game of the film - So scary I was afraid to play it on my own. (I was only a kid )

I canīt say that I have played that Version of ALIEN.

The reason why Iīm going back to C64 and AMIGA is that there were more dept in the games than it is now.

Now days they are going for grafics only. It is a waste of my time and money.
