3rd Official Top Games Poll - Page 4

lord of the mark · May 12, 2003, 10:41

when were caesar 3 and AOE:Rise of Rome released?

DrSpike · May 12, 2003, 11:53

Check the lists at the site given in the first post.

lord of the mark · May 12, 2003, 12:12

gonegold for 1998 seems to only list December releases.

Skanky Burns · May 12, 2003, 19:36

A google search for the game + the word "release" generally finds the release date.

Update to come sometime today, but right now I need to shut down my computer due to a thunderstorm.

well yeah, after paging through release dates for Sid caesar, caesars palace, etc

but it does turn out that both were released in 1998.

lord of the mark · May 13, 2003, 09:29

Civ:TOT 25
SMAC 25
Caesar3 23
SMG 23
AOE:ROR 4

I rank TOT high, as I had never played a civ game before, so it gets votes (for me) based on the Civ design, not just the TOT add-ons.

Skanky Burns · May 14, 2003, 18:06

Updated once again.

This poll will close at the end of May. All posters who have not voted yet can still do so until then.

DrSpike · May 14, 2003, 19:05

What's next Skanky?

Adagio · May 15, 2003, 04:22

Vote for your top 5 games, that contains the letter 'P'

DrSpike · May 15, 2003, 06:20

Vote for your top official game poll!

Skanky Burns · May 15, 2003, 19:17

Spammers

I was thinking a poll of top games released from 19~~ to 1997. I just want to make sure there is enough variety of games between the two dates to make the poll interesting enough. So as of yet, the first date isn't set.

I like those suggestions though.

hi ,

, why till '97 , .....

have a nice day

Skanky Burns · May 15, 2003, 20:31

This poll covered from 1998-2000
My previous one covered 2001/2002

So rather than having people vote for the same games in each poll, I'm seperating them by the years they were released.

Maybe set beginning date, to be "the end of the Amiga days", this means: If a game could be played on the Amiga, then it's too old for this poll...

DrSpike · May 16, 2003, 05:52

For me the end of the Amiga days was not until 1996. I don't think I'd be the only one who would not have played that many PC games before 1997.

Adagio · May 16, 2003, 06:00

As I also mentioned:

This doesn't necesary mean 1996. I know many games that I played on the PC, during the time of the Amiga, but those games where still too advanced to be played on an Amiga...

Harry Seldon · May 16, 2003, 10:48

South Park Love Shack: 25
Metal Gear Solid: 25
Final Fantasy Tactics (1/29/98): 50

Adagio · May 24, 2003, 05:07

When are you closing this poll?

Btw, as a later poll (When these "special date" polls are finished

) you could make it: Vote for you #1 game of all time, from each genre (ie your favorite TBS game, your favorite FPS game, etc)

Skanky Burns · May 25, 2003, 22:41

The poll ends at the end of this month.

And Harry, the maximum amount you can give to a game is 25 points, so you still have 25 left.

Dang! OK, give Fallout 2 my last twenty-five.

muxec · May 30, 2003, 13:38

OK

So i gonna create a new poll.

lord of the mark · May 30, 2003, 14:08

interesting results
by genre

TBS - SMAC (and best overall) beats CTP, Imp2. No surprise.

RTS - Starcraft - beats AOK.

RPG - several popular games, but fallout2 beats Planescape and Baldurs gate

FPS - Deus Ex beats Half Life

Simtype - The Sims beats the two city builders, Simcity3000 and Caesar3. But not nearly as popular here as its sales. Hardcore gamers dont like.

Wargames - SM Gettysburg wins - but no other games here (unless you count Shogun) and i gave SMG most of its votes. Not many grognards here? Or not many games in that period?

Skanky Burns · May 30, 2003, 22:44

And with that, the poll closes!

Counting and final results to follow shortly.
My thanks to all who voted.

Well, CTP beat SMAC in the overall games poll, but that was series, so it included CTP2...
