If you had to name one game

[Kyriakos]

as being in any way important in your life, which would it be?

For me, even though i started playing computer games when i got my Amstrad cpc6128, i think that the Amiga period was more interesting. Better gfx, better games all-around.

The one game which i remember most of all though has to be Delphine's "Another World".


Link to video.

I first played it when i was 13. I immediately identified with the hero's predicament, lost in "another world", among hostile forces, trying to survive. I recall being so obsessed with it that i kept playing even though i could easily beat the game without losing even one life.
It meant more than a game to me, it was something i could relate to.

Your turn

One? I guess Civilization II had the greatest impact upon me, as I found CFC because of it. CFC led on to other things and people.

I also really liked Stronghold, I have always loved castles and I played that game for 100s of hours. Morrowind was also absolutely amazing and taught me how to find and install good mods.

EDIT: That is a very unusual game you posted. Most interesting and very retro (well, old).

Even to this day it is unique i think, released in 1990 There are many videos of it around in Youtube

important in my life ehh? I'd have to go with Civilization 2. If only because it has impacted my internet social life in a way. I wouldn't be posting here if it weren't for me getting started in Civ games with civ2. I then went on to SMAC and posted on those forums, and eventually that led me to Apolyton and eventually here.

No game has really impacted my life in any way except for how I spend my time. So if you add up all the time I spend here an Apolyton, (both in off topic and on topic forums), and actually playing civ games, I have to go with Civ2 for starting me down that road.

Civ IV

Civ III got me here. I've of course spent vastly more time on CFC and CFC-related activities than I ever did playing any of the Civilization games.

The only game even remotely close is Mass Effect 2 - I got Mass Effect after ME2 came out, then got ME2 after I finished the first game, and now I play it all the damn time. In less than a year I've somehow spent over a thousand hours playing one of those games. And there are the BioWare forums that I semi-participate in, too.

Civ2. Picked up MGE for 5 dolla at the local Walmart and found this place shortly after.

Ummm....other than that, the Madden series was a gigantic timesink for me until I gave up on EA ever making another worthwhile one ever again.

 

[tycoonist]

TF2 or Civ3/4

I've made tons of good friends playing TF2, and on the other hand, I joined this forum because of civ (more 4 I guess, but I wouldn't have got 4 if it wasn't for 3)

 

[Rub'Rum]

Civ 4, Diablo 1 and 2, Chrono Trigger, Morrowind, Counter-Strike (original), hmmm, many many.

Also, anyone who never heard of Out of This World before this thread needs to shine their HARDCORE badge

It's available on gog.com

Probably CIV IV and oblivion

 

[croxis]

Into the Fire

 

[cardgame]

Civ II

Not only did it get me into the franchise and thus, eventually, here, it also taught me a fair bit about history and geography and got me interested in learning more about both.

 

[Captain Carnage]

Police Quest

 

[t0mme]

Just the one eh? Civ2 and Civ3 were and are still big in my life. But I just have to pick one game, a game in which I sank the most hours and still sink a couple a week, have the most fond memories of then that game has to be Grand Prix 2.
Also, it took some years to completely master the game on its highest difficulty setting and to forge the perfect car-setup, that it just would feel like a waste if I just stopped playing it.

Civ III got me here. I've of course spent vastly more time on CFC and CFC-related activities than I ever did playing any of the Civilization games.

This also applies to me.

 

[carmen510]

Carmen Sandiego for being one of my first gateways into gaming, and for making me interested in the social sciences. This is quickly followed by Age of Empires II (causing me to gain interest in history and strategy games) and then Civ3 (for reasons that have been stated above).

 

[Mustakrakish]

Well, I'm not gonna pick any civ to avoid the obvious. I think it would be Oblivion. It just was epic in it's time.

 

[Sonereal]

Rugrats: Studio Adventure. Without it, I wouldn't have gotten into gaming like I did.

 

[PeteAtoms]

The Oregon Trail game... pure awesome and probably the first computer game I ever played more than few times... I really liked the hunting part, I guess that also makes it my first FPS.

 

[civverguy]

I would be red alert 2. It got me into really into PC gaming, and then the rest is history.
