post your must play games (this has proly been done before <g>)
so anyhow mine in this order of greatest games ever to *really* great games and down to just great games

#1 - the greatest
Fallout2 : simply put the most fun funny exciting and interesting game because of plot and uniqueness

Baldurs Gate 2: shadows of amn : loved the character interactions and plot line (ToB seemed too scripted in its plot)

Planescape Torment : in knowing the teachings of zerithimon i have become stronger...

Arcanum : a very cool mix between baldurs gate and fallout2

#2 - the *really* great
Heroes of might 1-4 : yes even the totaly bugged up 4 was *very fun*

Disciples 2 : very nicely woven plots

Starcraft : enthralling and unique story

X-com : all really good - hard to pick one i liked most

Civilization 2: the others of the series i didnt like as much this one took the cake and i played it like no tommorow.

Master of Orion 1&2: veeery sweet galactic conquest strategy game

Star Control 1&2: Classic space adventure games with cool plot and interactions

#3 - great games
Wing Commander series: nice movies, cool flight combat simulation

Anachronox: loved the plot, hated the character control system

Privateer 2: cool mix between wing commander and a roleplaying baldurs type game

NoX: got tedius with the constant killing, but engaging plot line made it *more* than worth it; plus multiplay for hours on end was very fun.

whats your list?

there's one game that simply took my breath away: medal of honor

oh gawd, now I get to show how old I am :D

Beyond Atlantis (the graphics are nice, and I like that style of game)

Descent I and II (can't get away from the jets *LOL*)

Hidden and Dangerous (obviously I'm in the military)

Baldur's Gate, and all the Ultima games (even the bad ones).

Greatest Games : Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Thief, Baldur's Gate 2, Half Life and Planescape Torment.

They all give the most fantastic experiences with magic atmosphere.

JourneyMan Project, Total Annihilation, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Marathon Due to its incredible story, Halo Just because it is a sequel to Marathon, Grand Theft Auto, Whichever, just because it's a free-style game, Kind of like Pilot Wings...

And saving the best for last...

MYTH I. and II<---Has the best damn story of any game ever

Myth III... err... sucked... Warcraft III was prolly better, though Warcraft II was pretty awesome for it;'s era too [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Betrayal At Krondor (Great story!)

Riddle Of Master Lu (Great puzzle/adventure game!)

Heroes Of Might And Magic (All of them.)

Ultima IX (Really..I loved it, but the ending made me angry!)

Neuromancer (On the Commodore 64, now that's old!)

Champions Of Krynn (And the sequels.)

Magic The Gathering (From Microprose)
