Not overly, have been alot of good games over the years, was more really thinking of where the game craze all started from and the classics we have to thank, a couple more mentioned by others in this post - WonderBoy, DoubleDragon, StreetFighter were great too
Yes :) remember commander keen? :P I can remember buying lemmings floppy discs at the local market, 5 games for $4 lol
Got to thank.
Duke nukem 3d for bringing the fps genre to the table.
Quake for taking the fps to the next level and developing true 3d graphics.
@Slippery Fish: Can't say i know of that game, but since you mentioned floppys it reminded me of Street Rod tuning cars up and racing for pink slips
@Hotkolbas: Ahhh the old Duke and his way to funny catchphrases, could go on for hours about classic games and all the great ones that turned gaming on its head, so many great memories
I still Duke it out 3D online vs others. www.dukematches.net

+10000 for runescape
+1 for csgo :)
+1 for the Tony hawk series
omg was i addicted to runescape. i'd be thinking about that shit 24/7. i remember waking up in the middle of the night and i'd sneak into the computer room and just play. I was caught by my parents a few times, but totally worth it. This was like the first gen runescape though. great game.
i literally did this too. sneak out to the family PC. plug in something in the model's dialup headphone jack to stop the dialing noise. play all night until 6am sneak back in bed.
was your runescape name also xEnt or something? looks very familiar haha
@drose01: small world, i used to develop runescape classic private servers, was an admin or player on a bunch of them too.
ah yeah, thats right! i played on your server for a while. what was your server called again? it was one of the first private ones wasnt it?
Wtf? You guys met on runescape classic 10+ years ago and now are recognising each other again? Wtf
cs:goooooo
+1 for Chrono Trigger, amazing game.
Then for me it'd be:
World of Warcraft
The Last of Us
Mass Effect 2
Uncharted 2
GTA
pro evolution soccer
nba 2k
mario
halo
Starsiege: Tribes
COD: MW
NFSU2
Duke Nukem 3D
Forza Horizon 3
Haha yes T1! The good old days
World of Warcraft (Vanilla/TBC/WoTLK - it went downhill fast after that) Some of the best memories created in this incredible world with IRL friends
Pokemon Yellow - childhood defining game
Final Fantasy VII - Pinnacle of badass-ness for a kid in the late 90's
League of Legends - Despite its many faults the competitive aspect of this game led to great moments
Command and Conquer(1995) - Introduction to PC gaming, timeless classic
Secret of Mana
Final Fantasy VII
Ocarina of Time
Command & Conquer
Civilisation IV
+1 Secret of Mana, one of the greatest games IMO
Good list, have also made me nostalgic for c&c, had forgotten it existed with civ being around.
Command & Conquer - props!
Shenmue 2
Mario Karts except Advance
Wonderboy 3:Dragons Trap
Mario 64
Kazooie/Tooie
Shenmue 2 was a good game you dont think number 1 was better?
I thought 2 was way better, except for the ending which was naff.
Have you seen a black car? Was it black?
Mario Karts except Advance
Double-Dash ftw!
Wonderboy 3:Dragons Trap
Great, this and Alex Kidd and Miracle were really good
I was shocked to hear WB3 at NTSC speed much later…I was so used to the fantastic music at PAL 85% speed. Same with Alex…we were playing these games in slooooowwwww motion.
1 Sitting Ducks PS2.
2 Stuart Little 3 PS2.
3 Age of Empires II and the Conquers expansion PC.
4 Civilization IV PC.
5 Heros of the Pacific PC.
Age of Empires 2 is a solid shout game was pretty epic back in the day and is still pretty fun now
AOE - SO good.
Yeah anytime this question comes up my #1 answer is AOE2, and to be honest (since I'm old enough), AOE1 probably scrapes in the top 5 too.
Basing on the amount of lost hours invested in each game.
Starcraft
Freespace 2
Quake 4
Assassins Creed
Pokemon Yellow
starcraft ftw, works on dialups too
Diablo 2 (can't believe it's on no list yet!)
Starcraft 1 and 2
Battlefield 2
COD MW
Duke Nukem
Most disappointing: Diablo 3
I'd also kill to get my hands on v3.01 of Strategic Conquest. Old, but… cannot be located.
D3 wasn't THAT bad, the campaign was quite challenging and game play was decent.
Not where near as sophisticated as d2, but saddest part was end game content nonexistent. Not sure about now though lol
Lots of endgame content now. It is actually an amazing game. When it first released it was a major turd. Too bad I went and had a kid and have no time to play now that the game is good :D
That actually sounds really interesting.
But if I jump back in now, I'll probably be a joke amongst all the other players hahaha.
@bao28: Not really. They have seasons now that last 2-3 months which means everyone starts on equal footing. Takes a couple of days to get to max level and there are lots of fun activities that help you gear up. It's actually much easier to find gear to support your build than it was before. Hence people can gear up and get powerful within a couple of months.
You don't HAVE to play seasons of course but then you would be in the game with more powerful players. Season is a good way to start as everyone will be gearing up with you. Once you finish the season you can transfer your character to off season play (keep him permanently) if you wish.
+1 for COD4, I haven't launched it in years but I expect it to be hacker central. Wish I could relive those years again :(
modern warfare remastered?
PC port doesn't look promising at all.
Red Dead Redemption
Skate 3
Rugby 08
Witcher 3
Golden Eye

The Ancient Art of War - one of the first RTS and possibly my first gaming love
Homeworld - started playing 11 years ago (when it was already in the discount "classic games" box), paused for many years, restarted this month. Yet to finish 😊
Halo
Dune
Also: Death Track, Wing Commander, Elite, M1 Tank Platoon, LHX, Command and Conquer
I've heard Home world is amazing im going to pick it up and give it a go
AAoW was one of my first games too.
Fun memories….I recall exploiting the game by fighting battles with one Archer. The enemies would approach in one line and get killed by the Archer but only a few. So I retreated, rinse repeat. It reduced morale but killed the enemy with no loss to my troops.
I also loved AAoW at Sea.
I played Ancient Art of War on both IBM PCs and Apple… II and possibly Mac I think? Many fond memories. I love changing troop formations before each engagement for maximum effectiveness. Knights backed by archers would slaughter the much quicker though otherwise hapless barbarians.
I never got to finish AAoW at Sea — thankfully it's now available as freeware!
Sorry to harp on about this, but I discovered I can play AAoW at Sea… online — and did so for the first time in 20-something years. Awesome.
Hi…I tried this many many years ago, I think I was using DOSBox.
But the game was super fast and I was unable to reduce speed at the DOSBox level.
Did you play OK?
@tsunamisurfer: Played pretty much like I remember it, speed included. They ran DOSBox in a browser window. Worth a try : )
Only comment mentioning Dune, classic of the classic.
If I clear my head of nostalgic thoughts:
- Shadow of the colossus
- Hotline Miami
- Destiny for the coop
- Demon/Dark Souls series
- GTA V
-Metal Gear Solid
-Tomb Raider
-Final Fantasy 7
-Super Mario 3
-The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
No order.
Morrowind
Pokemon blue/red
Zelda ocarina of Time
Conkers bad fur Day
Duke Nukem 64
Lol plus a ton more, but I challenge you to dispute any of them.
Morrowind! Best ever
All on PC.
Battlefield 2 - The Pizza Hut deal remains the first major deals I got from Ozbargain. For $15 I played this game for 6 years.
Elite / Frontier / First Encounters - Its a bit unfair to list them all together but I loved them all and they were of the same franchise.
Civilization II - Still play it today on and off…..so much fun without the cool graphics.
Counter Strike - My first multiplayer FPS. The simplicity of the game and maps were great fun.
Command and Conquer - Also one of the most fun RTS I have ever played.
Honourable mentions :
CS how could i have forgot that!
Im surprised how many people prefer C&C to Red Alert i loved both but Red Alert 1 was up there for game of the year in 1996 (i think it might of even won in some places)
850 hours on CSS as a kid, loved jailbreak.
Blazblue Central Fiction
Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen
Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late
Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2
Nier Automata
Yes I'm a weeb :)
Was PS4 your first ever console?
Nope all of these on PC. Never had a Playstation, had a Wii instead which I sold off recently so no consoles in the house anymore :)
Fair enough. Did you only start gaming a few years ago?
@lostn: Yeah, considering strict parents meant no gaming for the longest time, and prior to this year I had no computer for 3 years, only a crappy iPad :( Honestly still surprised I managed to survive that long
