Rate these games for me

I can say truthfully that any game with the 'Wing Commander' liscence is well worth your time. That goes for Privateer too!

Mechwarrior 2 is also great, if a little primitive (it was released in 1995 if I recall correctly). Graphics are somewhat dated, but still a fine Mech-stomp simulator. Think 'Tie Fighter' in a 50-foot robot.

I haven't played all these games, but go for Railroad Tycoon II, Cerek. Hours and hours of play - and it doesn't go out of fashion. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I learned the geography of Australia with that game ! Tough country to build a railroad on. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The only one I can help with is Wing Commander: Privateer. That game absolutely rocked! But it rocked 10 years ago, so I'm not sure how much he'll like it.

I agree with both Masklinn and Moiraine -

Railroad Tycoon II is the best game out of that bunch. Absolutely endless hours of play and fun too. I give it a 10.

Sim City is also excellent, but the others weren't so good.

After RPGs, Management/Strategy games are my favourite!

NP means I never played it...

01) Quake = 3 (never liked it much, just nice graphics (for the time it came out, but hardly any gameplay or story))
02) Quake II 8 (Big improvement... it had a story!)
03) Quake III Arena = 6 (Only played it in singleplayer and it was a lot like #1 just prettier graphix)
04) Thief II 9
05) 5 "Sim" Titles, i.e., City, Copter, Safari, Isle, and Tower 6 (on average)
06) Deus Ex 10 (just too great for words)
07) MDK 2 Np
08) Unreal Tournament Np
09) Soldier of Fortune: Gold Edition 7.5 (very good... a little disturbing if you play it with all the violence options)
10) Star Trek: Birth of the Federation NP
11) Asteroids 3D np
12) Wing Commander: Privateer 8 (so old... and so good... [img]smile.gif[/img] )
13) Railroad Tycoon II 8 (very good)
14) Redneck Rampage Rides Again! (Arkansas) (I only played #1 and it was funny but not so good)
NP for the rest... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I didn't like Spec ops 2 much because there isn't a save game button (at leats i didn't found one) but once i started playing it i couldn't stop. big levels, quite hard but it's fun if you like to crawl trough everything and sort of sniper everything because therwise you have to strat again. ai is quite good , enemies will search you if you open fire upon them but could also shoot grenades on you or where they think you are.

Originally posted by Cerek the Barbaric: A good friend of mine was going through some old software he had stored and came across several games he bought, but never installed on his PC. Now he is wondering which games are worth the time to install and which ones would be a waste of time. I'm familiar with some of the titles, but not all of them...so I need your help. Please rate any of the games you are familiar with from 1-10 (with 10 being GREAT and 1 being "throw away ASAP"). Any comments you have of why the game rocks (or sucks) would also be helpful. Thanks for your help. The games he has are: 01) Quake 02) Quake II 03) Quake III Arena 04) Thief II 05) 5 "Sim" Titles, i.e., City, Copter, Safari, Isle, and Tower 06) Deus Ex 07) MDK 2 08) Unreal Tournament 09) Soldier of Fortune: Gold Edition 10) Star Trek: Birth of the Federation 11) Asteroids 3D 12) Wing Commander: Privateer 13) Railroad Tycoon II 14) Redneck Rampage Rides Again! (Arkansas) 15) Mech Warrior 2 16) Spec Ops: Platinum Collection. It includes: 16a) Spec Ops: Rangers Lead the Way 16b) Spec Ops: Ranger Team Brave, expansion pack 16c) Spec Ops II: Green Berets 16d) Spec Ops: Operation Bravo, expansion pack

5) can be fun for a while but get very repetitive and have no overall goal 5/10
6) Deus Ex - VERY good game mixing RPG, 3D shooter and adventure 9/10 great music
7)MDK 2 - haven't played it but based on what I've heard - 8/10
8) Unreal Tournament - very good mulitplayer game - addictive! 9/10
9) Dunno, never played it
10) no idea
11) Fun little game 6/10
12) dunno
13) If it's anything like Transport Tycoon deluxe then it's very good [img]smile.gif[/img] 8/10
14) dunno
15) dunno but supposed to be pretty good 7-8/10 based on what I've heard
16) supposed to be pretty good based on magazine review 7-8/10

13) If it's anything like Transport Tycoon deluxe then it's very good 8/10

Nothing can match Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
Where Railroad Tycoon gets a 10/10, Transport Tycoon Deluxe gets a 11/10

[Irongrinder]

Oh, I love transport Tycoon, talk about nostalgics

I played the game a while ago again and it keeps holding a grip on me, untill the cities are big and round again. Oh, how I love that game

[Masklinn]

The best thing is that some fans made a patch that improves the game and allows you to play it under Windows 98/2000/XP.
You can also find it quite easily over the net; not very legal I admit it, but the game is not sold anymore.
