[jsorense]

I have been looking at Sea Dogs.
Here's hoping it lives up to the potential suggested in the previews.

[John-SJ]

For sure buys:
Stars! Supernova Genesis

Maybe after good reviews:
Links 2001
Pool of Radiance
Tropico

Funny, I thought there were more games on my must have list, now it seems there's only one.

John-SJ

im gonna be first in line at 10 am at eb to pick up tropico, whenever it gets out I expect prob about may 01

its gonna rock they made railroad tycoon 2 that rocked have faith the game has a great premise and a good team behind it.

Fallout Tactics (no idea when it's coming out.)
Combat Mission (I still haven't purchased it )
Arcanum (but it's been delayed)
CTP2 (bug free -- and Im the first in line)

I guess that's it but I haven't been looking at game sites for a while.

Discworld Noir
Escape from Monkey Island
Simon the Sorcerer 3D
Stupid Invaders (if it's good)

(No points for guessing my favourite genre...)

[Steve Clark]

Sophanthro, you haven't purchased Combat Mission yet?!?!? Shame on you. Let the little boys play with their Stars and console games, real men play Combat Mission.

For me, only two in the next 6 months (if they are released):

Mafia

Sea Dogs (if they release a single-player version)

In the meantime, I'm still busy with Combat Mission and Front Office Football.

HOW DARE U PUT SSNG IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS CONSOLES SHAME ON YOU SHAME SHAME STEVE CLARK

errrrrr

[Urban Ranger]

Hugo,

What is Discworld Noir? I haven't heard of that before.

[KaiserIsak]

I will definatly buy:

-Europe Universalis
-CtP II
-Escape from Monkey Island

And maybe after good reviews:

-Seadogs
-RA II

[Nicolas]

here's my buy list, dunno when they are coming out

-Tropico
-fallout tactics
-arcanum, mafia
-jagged alliance two (lost my copy)
-jagged alliance 2 expansion,
-supernova genesis
-ctp 2

[Christmann]

Im definitely with KaiserIsak on this one:

Europa Universalis
Ctp 2 (only after i read the forums though... I only played Ctp once after i got it)
And MI4

[Par4]

bad news for Americans who wanted EU like me, it isn't going to be released here. I don't feel like getting it shipped

[Christmann]

Par4, it will be released in the US, it's just a matter of time before Paradox finds a publisher.

[Everyman]

I may buy some old games -- they're cheaper, especially at CompUSA or Costco, and I can always research the internet to see if they're good and if people are still playing them. Games I'm considering as a Christmas present to myself are:

Rollercoaster Tycoon
Sid Meier's Gettysburg/Antietam set
Alpha Centauri

If you have any personal experience with any of these games, I'd like to read your impressions.

Been there, seen that . If you have seen games with more complicated rules than Advanced Squad Leader and Starfleet Battles, let me know

[Par4]

You gonads or whatever you call yourselves make me wanna puke

[Leonidas]

Everyman:

Buy the Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack - it includes Apha Centauri and Crossfire, plus the guide. This game is complex and awesome! A classic!

Sid Meier's Gettysburg/Antietam: Another classic! You can find many, many new free scenarios, strategy guides, etc for both games on the web, including a mod that changes Gettysburg from the Civil War to the Battle of Waterloo.

These games are worth investing your time to play. They take longer to learn how to play well, but their depth of play will keep you coming back for more...

WHy do you say "bug free"?

[deleted]

Well Im a little worried considering the amount of bugs when they released CTP. I like the general concepts and if they execute them properly then It's definitely going to be an early Christmas present to myself.

[Mercantile]

there is alot of hype regarding CTP2 , we shall see i guess. My friends didn't like the first one too much and either did i. It didnt' have that civ feeling to me

[Caesar the Great]

Probably none... I have too many games as is

Especially since I can't function without at least 2 hours of civ per day

Not to mention an hour of d2 and half an hour of red alert...

Yes, I do have a problem... or two, or six

[St Leo]

Europa Universalis
Warlords: Battlecry!
Heroes III: Complete

Fifa2001
Red Alert 2
Rune
Half-Life Platinum Edition

problem is I'll only buy one... and they all come out in a matter of days...

[Par4]

Red alert too is coming I've got the platinum reserved, if only I had a dvd to play that making of disc...

I picked up zeus, its ok, a lot easier than pharaoh, but the agoras still suck.

[Solver]

And what about Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion? Best RTS ever, one of the best overall games.
