OT - your fav games

[Daynarr]

RPG: AD&D Classics (mostly played on C64): Pool of Radiance, Curse of Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades, Pools of Darkness
Dragonlance Classics - Champions of Krynn, Death Knights of Krynn, Dark Queen of Krynn.
Neverwinter Nights would be if I had ANY means of buying them where I live.
Fallout 1-2 (Arynn, Fallout is RPG, not TBS , Fallout TACTICS is TBS)

TBS: Squad Based: Jagged Alliance 1-2 (with the recent fan mod Urban Chaos), X-com 1-3, Tactics Ogre (SNES emulator needed).
Space Strategy: Moo2 (about +1000000 hours of my life spent playing it), Space Empires IV, SMAC (it falls into Space strategy as it is on alien planet I guess), CIV 1-3 (because SMAC is here ), Emperor of the Fading Suns.
Fantasy Strategy: MoM, Age of Wonders (only first one as I think they butchered the sequel to make it more public friendly - improved sound and graphics and reduced gameplay), Dom2 (now this one must come as a surprise to everyone ), HOMM 3 (barely makes it here as I find the developers support, marketing and selling policy to be disgusting to say the least).
Wargames: I'm learning to play Steel Panthers at the moment but it looks like it's going to be my favourite.

RTS: Total War series (Shogun TW, Medieval TW), Total Annihilation (I guess Norfleet has some taste after all ), Ogre Battle (SNES emulator needed).

FPS: Unreal Tournament, Unreal Tournament 2004, Far Cry (Single Player), the rest I wouldn't touch with the stick.

Management games: Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

There are probably lots of games that I didn't mention as I was making this list "on the fly".

RPG: Betrayal at Krondor (free nowadays!), Baldur's Gate 1 (haven't tried 2 yet), Fallout 1 (same as with BGs)

Roguelike: ADOM, lately Crawl too
TBS: DomII, Dom:PPP, Master of Magic (I never really got into it, though)

RTS,FPS, MMO: Never found any I really liked, didn't get in Total Annihilation either... Probably I just don't like the genre

I also have X-com 1, The Ur-Quan Masters (Star Control 2 remake), DragonStrike and King's Quest 1 remake on my machine... Only the two first I _really_ like, others are just good. I would like to like Allegiance (also free), but haven't had time to try yet.

I forgot this wonderful BBS won't let us attatch files (or host pics, or avatars, or read forwards). Here's the link to Wizard's Crown. I'm sure you can manage an emulator, and Dagger is there as well.

Edited by Zen: Find it at the underdogs. Go google skillz or PM Blitz for a link.

Yes, that Wizard's Crown. I have it for the Atari ST. The combat seems to have been covertly based on the GURPS combat system, which is even better (for expert players who use maps and all the rules correctly), but not yet computerized (though a MMORPG is in the works).

Eternal Dagger was another in the series, and I sort of thought there might've been a third, but I could be making that up.

The series had tactical combat details and mortal-scale dangerous weapons - things that got me interested in and hooked on Dominions.

strategy games :
world conquest : mainly paradox games , i love all 3 i own : hoi , eu 2 and victoria
shogun total war + medival total war were fun too but not as good as hoi or eu 2 or victoria
rts : i still think starcraft broodwar is the best rts-game ever made
the sequel warcraft 3 is crap though ihmo .
turn based strategy games : of course dominions 2
panzer general was one of my first pc games i liked it at this time and the sequels too .
especially fantasy general and pazific admiral were nice
jagged alliance 2 is a really great game too i played it for a long time
my most liked tactical game at the moment is :
steel panthers WaW v.8.0
i can't believe that such a great game is for free .
the penetration system rocks
rpggames : baldurs gate 1 + 2 were great
neverwinter nights with both addition disks is reall great too
i played diablo 2 + lod excessevely over 1 year .
at the end i owned almost everything exept an old arcaines valor and other such great pre i think 1.08 uniques cause i started playing lod after this patch .
shooters : duke nukem 3d was awesome when i got it
my favourite shooter is counterstrike . i think there still exists no better one .
hopefully they convert it too the half life 2 engine soon cause the only thing that's a bit bad now are the graphics .
return to castle wolfenstein is great too.

[Thilock_Dominus]

To add some good oldies to the list That I've also played: Blood Stone (amiga), Fantasy Empire (PC) Laser Squad (C64 + Amiga + PC) and ofcause Chaos.

And not to mention the Ultima series (I-VIII)

[Tuna-Fish]

RTS, Paradox serie, Victoria, EU2, HoI, not (yet) very deeply in CK, I'll wait until they finish it first

TBS -
Jagged Alliance 2
Steel Panthers,
Dom2.

FPS - a mod for orginal Unreal Tournament called Infiltration. Looks crappy, plays like a dream.

Also was interested long in a HL mod called Natural Selection, but it simply became too fast for my reflexes. I was actually the one who got the one of the worlds best NS clans to try the game first time (Fek'Lyrs, nowadays pretty much part of the Torment)

RPG - Nethack, ADOM.

4X - Stars! (hey, I still play that, also a shameless plug for a certain project called freestars on sf.net...)
Civ3, I never get why ppl say it's worse than 2. Also, would Alpha Centauri fall in the same Category?

RPG - Would WC- Privateer fall under this Category?

MMO - Jumpgate. The only MMO out there where the amount of XP farming and other idiotic things ppl do dont matter and the only thing that matters is how well you fly. Some of the ppl I introduced to it were quite shocked when they found out that they dont move around by just clicking targets but they actually gotta fly (and land) the spacecraft themselves . Jumpgate is the incarnation of privateer, only in MMO. I strongly suggest everyone who was ever interested in Priv to try out the 10-day trial. At least in the european server you dont have to give your credit card number to try the trial. The game was launched 3 years ago and has changed contantly during that time, and there's always some active RP that players need to participate in.
