Re: The BEST PC games of all time

Hmmm.
1.)Medieval:Total War was pretty good, though a bit annoying. Rome:Total War will probably be better.
2.)Far Cry. I haven't played this properly, but hell, it looks amazing, the A.I. is pretty good too.
3.)Half Life. Bit dated now of course, but an authentic, innovative approach to the genre.
4.) The Baldur's Gate games. NwN is let down by a poor single player campaign.
5.)Age of Conquerors. Age of Mythology is a titillating game, but it never felt as addictive or potent as it's predecessor.

Halo was quite fun online too...

Re: The BEST PC games of all time

It was Elite that got me into PC games so its my all time favourite.

I yearn for the day when Elite 3? comes out and destroys my social life yet again.

Re: The BEST PC games of all time

Ok well I must be more...hummn dated then most of you.

I will take you back to the days of the IBM PC running at 4.5Mhz and no hard drive just two 5.25" floppy drives, and I do mean floppy! The game was called Starflight and it was without a doubt the very first computer game that got me totally hooked. You can look it up in Computer Gaming World's Hall of fame.

My list:

Kings Quest series up until about Kings quest 6
Ultima 6, 7, 7.5
Diablo--First Online game experiience
Ultima Online--The best concepts in an online RPG ever
Quake--did not like the game so much as I liked making my own levels
Unreal--same reason as Quake
Dark Age of Camelot--though for some reason I never liked the realm war
World of Warcraft--extreme fun

Re: The BEST PC games of all time

Heroes of Might and Magic III is my favorite, just brought the complete version with all three packs of the HMMIII
Age of Empires is an epic
Stronghold is not that famous, but it is also a wonderful game.
Red Alert: I personally liked it
I know a lot of other good games, but they are all Chinese, like there is one game called Monopoly (similar to the boardgame, but far more interesting). There are a lot of Chinese Wuxia based RPG games which are pretty cool.

Re: The BEST PC games of all time

Yes to Caladanbrood and Hypes for Age of Empires and Rome Total War. There are many others, but the first game i played extensively - And I mean hour after hour - was a very simple two-dimensional strategy game called Empire. It came out in the 80s and had the quality of all good games in that it was completly addictive. Another great game, Mechwarrior - almost all of them, but especailly the first three. There are many others, but for addictive play those two were right up there.

Re: The BEST PC games of all time

Back to the monochrome days for these: F19 Stealth Fighter and Pirates. F19 had dogfights and whoa... stealth missions. Pirates was a great RPG and history lesson roled into one. IIRC both were by the same guy who was responsible for Civilization, Sid Meier (sp?)

Re: The BEST PC games of all time

I am most fond of Rogue Spear, as it was the game which brought me into the world of online gaming. I also think Battlefield 1942 is absolutely awesome. But unfortunately I have an outdated computer, poor internet, and very little time for gaming nowadays. Hopefully that will change by this summer! ::crosses fingers::

Uh-oh, I hope you're not married/have children because they'd desert you for complete negligence once you started on this baby.
