Originally posted by Zink Whistlefly: So on that note Jaradu - what do you want me to do about your list with the Half Life positions?

Hmm, not sure. I suppose they should be treated as separate games, in which case, I choose Halflife 2.

I noticed you chose Counterstrike - are you counting this as a different game to Counterstrike: Source?

[Krowlars]

1. Baldur's Gate 2 (The most obvious choice for most of us...)
2. Icewind Dale 1
3. Warcraft 3
4. Warcraft 2 (Countless times re-playing this and developing maps...)
5. Heroes of Might & Magic 3
6. Age of Mythology
7. Diablo
8. Lords of the Realm 2 (Playing it even now!)
9. Dungeon Siege
10. Icewind Dale 2

Indeed... hard to pick everything and almost impossible not to leave some aside.

[Aelia Jusa]

1. Ultima 7: The Black Gate
2. Civilisation 2
3. Baldur's Gate
4. Colonisation
5. Ultima Underworld 2
6. Baldur's Gate 2
7. Morrowind
8. Monkey Island series (as separate entities they wouldn't make it, but as a series they do)
9. Ultima 7 Pt 2: Serpent Isle
10. Age of Empires

Originally posted by Lucern: Ross, about TA:Kingdoms...didn't you just love the endless combat of it all? lol...those battles were truly wars of very slight attrition because the resources were so unending and the defenses were so powerful.

Kingdoms was (and still is kind of) the best RTS game I've ever played. The animation of the units was just amazing, and the whole mana resource collecting really made for some massive battles (my old Pentium III used to sweat like a fat bloke in a sauna slaving over this game!). Did you ever try the expansion, the Iron Plague (?) which introduced the 5th force Creon? I never managed to complete that expansion because one of the maps just ended up being completely stalemate (think it was Veruna vs Creon with you playing as Veruna)!

I did think about that, but since they are essentially the same games (admittedly Source looks and sounds LOTS nicer) I've just kept them as the same thing.

[Zebodog]

1. The Bard's Tale (The original from 1985)
2. Starflight
3. Simcity Series
4. Baldurs Gate 2
5. The NHL Series by EA Sports. (It did lose something when you couldn't body-check the ref anymore)
6. Neverwinter Nights
7. Baldurs Gate
8. Starcraft
9. Age of Empires
10. Zork

[Sir Krustin]

Half-life
Doom
X-Com: UFO Defense

[Hivetyrant]

1)Red alert 2 (+Yuri's revenge)
2)SU-27 Flanker (first game I ever owned)
3)GTA:VC
4)Metal Gear Solid
5)GTA II
6)Deus EX
7)One Must Fall (original)
8)Warcraft II

I'm sure if I thought about it longer and looked through all my games the list would slightly change, but it will do for now...

[Sir Goulum]

1. Baldurs Gate 2
2. SimCity4
3. NWN
4. Age of Mythology
5. Civilization 3
6. Icewind Dale
7. Age of Empires II

10. NHL EA series

It started getting tough near the end, since I don't really play that many computer games, mostly just Xbox and N64 ones.

[Vaskez]

Agh! I forgot X-Com: Terror From the deep!! Agh! Can I change my list?

[Sir Goulum]

I'm sure he wouldn't notice. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
