Favourite Computer Game of All Time

Argh, too many games to list them all. This is as far as I will go with narrowing it down. Listed in order of importance

Tekken 3/Tekken Tag Tournament
Rainbow Six-Rouge Spear
Fifa 2000 and 2001
NHL 93 to 95 (possibly 96 as well, can't remember)
Final Fantasy 6 to 10
Civ (all of them)
Zelda 3


Guess that's it, but it still feels sad to leave out games like Punch Out, Mario (most of them), Starcraft, R n' R Racing, and many many more.
 
Civilizaton III with PTW, Microsoft Train Simulator, Jedi Knight series, The Sims, Sim City 3000, and Star wars Galctic Battleground.
 
Does anybody remember the text only mainframe game called "Adventure", kind of dungeons and dragons game played by writing sentences in and getting paragraphs back. It seemed to be able to analyze almost any sentence.

I saw it 1979 thanks to a 3rd grade science teacher, and that opened my soul up to computers forever.
 
Favorites, in order of how many hours I "wasted" on them...

Civilization (far and away the winner)
Civ II
Dragon Warrior Series (for NES)
Nobunaga's Ambition (NES)
Zelda Series (NES)
and many more, from Taipan (Apple IIe) to Wolfenstein 3D to. Actually Civ II in the latest game I own, not really too much into these modern games :)

Oh and my favorite arcade game? Jr. Pac Mac! :goodjob:

- Narz :king:
 
CivilizationII MGE

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Super Mario

Super Mario64

Star Fox64

CivilizationIII

FF9-8

and many more.
 
Civilization I-III
Master of Orion I & II
Ultima I-VI
Doom I & II
Counter-Strike
Fallout I & II
Baldur's Gate II
Bubble Bobble (on the C64, team-play with my kid brother).
 
So many new games as favourite here, are you all young, late into gaming, bad memory or is the best games maid in the late 90.

I’ve been playing Nintendo sense I was 8(some hand held before that, and perhaps some other consol) but the Nintendo was the first one I got, then commandore 64 at my friends and Amiga later on. PC games I started to play at age 10, police quest, Larry bird <-- that’s an old one.

I'm actually not that impressed what the industry has been poring out after say Doom/Dune/Civ/adventuregames (what was that 90-92?) Yes better graphics sure, but look at Dune (RTS), the AI of that game is no different from starcraft or so, still the same stupid troops, same for the FPS, sure some improved AI but not so you go yiah... the only side of the game industry that I feel have getting better is the sports game but for the last years there is a stagnation there too. Sure some classic has come along in later years too, but those are rare in compare to all the crap - and all the followups and redos with only better graphics.
oh, rant... :)
 
civ II mp
 
Zelda series (esp ocarina of time and majora's mask - altho they could have done a lot more & bosses were crappy esp. end boss)

Starcraft

Diablo II (never got the expansion)

Civ III

Rock n Roll racing (SNES) (- was this what you were referring to Lord_Vetinari or am i on the wrong track?).

I'm sure I've missed many, but these are the ones that came to mind. BTW does anyone know a good online RPG? I really want to play one, and hopefully for little cash. Haven't had much time til now, but maybe one day i'll have the time...
 
I liked quite a few

Diablo 1 and 2 and LOD x-pac
Civ 1,2,3
SMAC
Chrono Trigger (my fav platform game of all time)
Fallout 2 (may be able to say its my fav comp game of all time but its close)
Theme Hospital
Sim City original, 2000, 3000

I like FO2 quite a bit, but even that game can get boring eventually

Edit: Thief 2 was my fav FPS game of all time i think. I forgot about it on the list though.

Edit 2: I completly forgot about the Keen games. They kicked major ass. I think i liked number 4 the most but i can't exactly remember if that was the one. Its the one where there's a giant planet and you get scuba gear, and one of the desert levels dissapears and comes back, it was the mirage palace or something.
Also, i like speedball 2 quite a lot. Damn i forgot about the old time games.
 
In order of most time wasted/spent:

Civilization
Frontier
Knights of the Sky
Civilization II
Sensible World of Soccer
Final Fantasy VI
Midwinter II
Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Populous 2
Speedball 2
Pro Evolution Soccer
Pinball Dreams
....
and right at the bottom of the list, I spent the least time playing
HBO Boxing and then
Leisure Suit Larry 3.

I remember these two, I had them on my amiga. We spent hours beating each other up in sb2 (I loved the sound the siren made when a player was injured (including the icecream-guy)).

among my absolute favorites are railroad tycoon and the original x-com game (UFO - Enemy Unknown). and of course civ.

another one I loved was syndicate, lets mow down your enemies.
 
Yes, as Furry Spatula said above, Theme Hospital was good, too. Although I'm not sure it makes the list. I completed far, far too quickly for it to have been a real classic for me.

I'd like to add Settlers2. The first MP (split-screen) game I played too much of. That ruined many an exam...
 
I just remembered another one: Does anyone of you remember "It came from the desert" by Cinemaware? I especially loved the "escape from the hospital"-scenes
 
Aha!
I have just remembered another game that must go at the bottom of the heap and probably between Leisure Suit Larry and HBO Boxing. Myst! What the hell is the point of this game? It may look pretty but if I wanted minimal interaction than I'd watch a film. It is described by this site as "one of the most popular games of all time"!!!! :eek::lol::lol:
 
Deus Ex - But after finishing it there isn't much more to it.


I would like to see a Leveling up (like Diablo II) games but in Deus Ex form.
 
While in college during the late 1980's, I played Earl Weaver's Baseball on an Amiga 500 during every waking minute that I could squeeze out of the day. I created an entire league of teams, kept box score printouts, and scrutinized statistics as if my electronic players were as real as major leaguers.

I loved that game!

The first real PC game that I grew to love (when I finally joined the internet world) was Master of Orion 2, the game that first addicted me to the turn-based strategy game genre.
