Top games (not series)

[Maquiladora]

Im guessing the second one is Doom 2, good game.

[Adagio]

But might as well, be the first one, that is Doom 2!?!

[The Pioneer]

Sorry ADG,

I corrected my list now.

So long...

[catullus]

1. UFO (XCOM 1)
2. Civ 2
3. Master of Orion
4. Combat Mission (Beyond Overlord)
5. Master of Orion 2
6. DOOM
7. Civ 1
8. Quake 3
9. WarCraft 2
10. FreeCell

C.
(still lurking)

[pg]

1. quake1(specifically quakeworld. i spent hundreds of hours playing online with this game. it also had so many great mods, like capture the flag, and team fortress. so many things this game brought to the fps genre, from rocket jumping, to bunny hopping.)
2. civ 1(the first is still my fav. the newer ones don't have better gameplay imo, just different gameplay.)
3. doom 2(you can't beat doom2 co-op on ultra violence or nightmare, especially with 4 people at a lan!)
4. ogre battle(i've beaten it like 5 times, what else is there to say?)
5. deus ex(powerful and a great story)
6. fallout 1(the opening alone is almost worth the admission price. "war never changes".)
7. mario cart(with 4 ppl you can play this game for endless hours)
8. europa universalis 2(just got it a few days ago, but it blew me away! if i'd have had it a few months ago it'd probably have took civ1's place, but i'm not sure if i'll stand the test of time yet so it's #8.).
9. quake 3(only reason this is better than quake 2 is because of a great mod called
promode.)
10. quake 2(railgun, and chaingun spawn rape!)

just a few observations... most people's favorite games are probably going to be the first of a genre they played(especially if that game was a really quality title like most of the games ppl have listed here). someone who's first fps was quake 3 probably cannot understand why i'd put quake 1 or doom2 above it. or can they?

[Lemmy]

1. Fallout 2
2. SMAC
3. GTA 3 (Vice City )
4. Fallout 1
5. Roller Coaster Tycoon
6. X - Beyond the frontier
7. SimCity 2000
8. Caesar III
9. Worms World Party
10 Settlers 2

[Thrawn05]

I just have to comment on this list....

So far it looks good. I'm surprised other people remember Sam N' Max. Too bad my CD copy is scratched and it won't load anymore.

Come on people, let's get those votes out for all of those Old Skool DOS games! I think I see MS Space Sim up ahead.

I felt great at the evening yesterday, but this morning, I don't feel well anymore, so it's going to take a few more days

[FlameFlash]

[Adagio]

Feel free to do the updating then

[FlameFlash]

That " " was about the fact that you weren't feeling better yet... not that you couldn't update the list

I'll happily wait for your capable hands.

7) Doom 2
8) Civ 2

I wonder what St. Leo would think of Caesar III being ranked higher than Caesar II? (BTW-- It's Caesar, not Ceasar. Read Commentaries on the Gallic War, damnit. )

Anyway:

1. Civilization II
2. Doom II
3. Civilization III
4. SimCity 3000
5. Diablo I
6. Goldeneye (N64)
7. Final Fantasy VI (SNES)
8. The Sims
9. Nethack
10. Tactics Ogre (PSX/SNES-- not Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis)

[St Leo]

wonder what St. Leo would think of Caesar III being ranked higher than Caesar II?

I think that the entire Impressions developer team ought to be fed to Cthulhu for the abomination that is Caesar III.

[Pedrunn]

1. Call to Power 2 (Customization was the factor to make me like this game so much )
2. Homeworld (Really touching story, amazing graphics and stunning Battle System)
3. Wing Commander: The Prophecy (Best spaceship simulator ever with great story)
4. Call to Power 1 (A revolutionary TBS game for sure)
5. GTA 1 (GTA 2 looked better but in my PC it was so slooow )
6. Descent (Lost hours with this dizzy but cool game)
7. DeadLock (The best way strategic resources were used )
8. Caesar 2 (The battle control was so cool should be used in TBS games But i do like city simulation much)
9. Crusader: No regret (Action games can be cool too )
10. Sindicate (My first PC game passion)

Also good games (too bad thay dont score)

11. Deadlock 2 (Would be better the DeadLock 1 if the visual wasnt too ugly and complex)
12. Civ2 (My first contact with TBS i really enjoyed but not played much)

[Adagio]

Pedrun >> In the middle of changing the votes, I notice you have no #8, while #6 is in #8's place... Could you please make it clear, what you're voting for?

I updated the votes, but haven't included Pedruns vote...

[Pedrunn]

I edited. Sorry i mixed the nembers up with the cut-pasting while decideing the best game

[Adagio]

Sindicate? Is that Syndicate...or some game I've never heard about?
