[KaiserIsak]

2) Europe Universalis
3) CtP2

[My Wife Hates CIV]

My current top games (games I play now)...

F12000
CIV II
Starfleet Command
Driver
RCT

[Zkribbler]

I second Star Fleet Command and add Roller Coaster Tycoon the mixture.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Games I want! (In the order I want them ).

Civ III
Arcanum
Baldur's Gate II
Diablo II
Warcraft III
Duex Ex

[Lazlo]

1) Baldurs Gate
2) Planescape: Torment

*sigh*
With a P100 it is quite hard to make this games to run.

[bondetamp]

CIV III
Baldurs Gate II
Icewind Dale

[Imran Siddiqui]

All RPG fans should look toward Arcanum. It is made by the original head programmers that made Fallout. It is really looking good!

Oh, and add Neverwinter Nights to my list .

onepaul mentioned Wolfenstein 3D 2
Can anyone of you gimme an URL/mail me SPEAR OF DESTINY? I remembered this just as I read onepaul's post...

I also can't wait for CIVIII. If CIV3 isn't better than CtP, I'll kill 'em all.

I remeber Spear of Destiny, wasn't all that fun though, with all those creepy fooes (I like killing the nazies a whole lot better...) and I'll get my chance in wolf3d part 2 to do just that, plus the quake3 engine will help just a bit... and I bet my ass (maybe I shouldn't) that someone is going to remake the first wolf3d levels with the editor... (sigh) the memories...

You guys won't believe what I play.
Civilization II (ok,you'll believe that)
Transport Tycoon
X Wing
Lemmings
Buried in time (journeyman project 2)
Master Of Orion

I just bought MOO II, Myst, and space quest 4 recently, so one of those might make it onto my playlist soon.
Hmmnn... maybe if I didn't do all my shopping at used stores.
Maybe if I got a computer hat could run some new stuff.

a game not to play:
Sweet **** cookies batman!

good lord, were those so-called programmers high on mushrooms?

[Urban Ranger]

Starfleet Command? Now that's an awful game.

MP is the only way to play. Against the AI it's pretty dry (worse than CIV II).

[wheathin]

My top games list right now:

C&C (the original)
ST:BOTF
AOE:ROR

... of course, those are the last three I bought. I'm big on buying the best games from 2-5 years ago, because they always run really fast on my not-so-bleeding-edge machine, and I can get them cheap. Example: C&C's Worldwide Warfare set: C&C, plus expansions, and C&C:Red Alert plus two expansions, all for one nice low price.

And of course CTP, SMAC, and Civ2.

[War4ever]

ughh.... AOE ROR... yech same with AOE2 now for me as well..... and BOTF.... reminds me of a clunky interface like CTP....

However put me down for CIV3 as the only new game i will buy.... however i will certainly dload and burn others

[The Mad Monk]

Current rotation:

TOT: Extended
TOT: Sci-Fi
TOT: Fantsy
MoO2
Civ II (gotta see the council!)
Total Annhilation (RULES!)

Repeat (and randomize) Ad Infinitum.

Worms:Armegeddon used to be in there, but I lost the CD and cash is tight...

I still want Spear Of Destiny!!!

MAIL!!! LINK!!! ANYTHING!!!

PLEEEAAASSEEE!! Quickly, before I don't want it anymore

holy (bleep)ing halo, batman, we have a new number 1!
jesssus...

and now I'd like to thank myself for getting myself that new computer and a GeForce GTS hihihi...

[Father Beast]

I agree with you, Wheathin, having a low end system and buying 3 year old games is the way to go! I bought Master Of Orion II for 5$ and it has now eclipsed Civ II as my number one game. Where does the time go?
The advantages are simple:
all your hardware upgrades are cheap.
all the games are cheap.
by the time you buy the games, they're patched and playable.
By the time you buy the games, you know what everyone else has said about them, and have a good idea whether to spend your hard earned 9.99.

Disadvantages:
the constant pity of your friends as they tell you to get rid of that dinosaur.
you have to wait to play civ 3.

[Par4]

Holy bleeping sh!t has anyone seen the recommended system specs for Deus Ex after the demo release, a P3 or Athlon!!!
The minimum is only 50mhz slower than my system, a freaking 350 P2 my god.....

Games Im playing Now.

Railroad Tycoon II
Civ: Call to Power (only Multi-Player)
Fallout II
Assortment of Old Dos Games.

Games I'll probably get (eventually)
Planetscape Torment.
Civ III
CTP II
Arcanum
Terminus
Some WWII Plane Game (European Air War or World War II Fighters.)
Thief II

I was thinking of getting Deus Ex, but it looks like they licensed the Ultima 9 engine

Does anyone know what Black and White is about, I looked at some screenshots but they totally confused me. I thought it was a strategy game.

Out of curiosity, what on earth happened to the Duke Nukem 3D sequel?

I also noticed Daikatana is out now, but I have heard that due to the excessive delays, it is 'behind the times'!

[CornMaster]

I play Civ 2 MGE
Quake 2
Bunch of Dos games
Diablo

Games I must Get:
Diablo 2
Civ 3
Probably won't be able to run either though

[Par4]

Duke Nukem Forever is going to be out in about december. They scrapped the Q2 engine and adopted Unreal or it would be out now. They also adopted a policy of not advertising or talking about the game so no one will be disappointed. And whatever you do don't touch Diakatana it sucks, I've played my friends and he is sorry he bought it. The bots are bad, not as bad as the reviews make 'em sound but they definately do nothing for the game. The weapons are boring and everything is old. The graphics are all green, and also your eyes hurt after about 30 minutes on the japan levels. Don't touch it.

quote: I was running the game on an Athlon 750MHz with a 32MB GeForce 2, and it was basically a slide show. Turning off detailed textures helped tremendously, but it still stuttered on a few outdoor scenes.

aaaah ****! that's what I'm getting in my new box! could it be, because it's just a demo? could it be another Athlon/Nvidia issue?

update:
go here for an "explanation" about the performance in Deus Ex.

another game not to play:
be gone, demon!

good lord, I hope it doesn't have the camera movements like in that sucky movie!

[Par4]

I kinda wanna play space empires 4 but it doesn't have a publisher yet but it is almost done. The game looks fun and deep a lot better than ig2. It has systems with jump point chokes a huge tree, lots of units and decent graphics which will run fine on my comp.
