What Is Your Favorite Computer Game?

[Parche]

Mine Is............










:woohoo: :woohoo: :hi:

[MrCoffee]

1. anything with Sid Meier's name on it

well, maybe not Gettysburg.

[FloridaJudy]

20. Oh yes! "Civilization" rocks!

He also had one called "Colonization" that I haven't seen in years. It was an improvement on real history because it was always a Really Bad Idea to mistreat the natives. You needed their good will to beat the game.

[x-g.o.p.er]

25. Civ series is awesome!!

[ghostsofgiants]

2. Probably Far Cry or Doom3 or F.E.A.R.

If console to PC ports count, the Silent Hill series tops the list.

[flvegan]

3. Another Far Cry vote here.

[democracyindanger]

4. Depends

I go on binges. Right now it's all about CoD4. But I often replay Railroad Tycoon, Sim City, Rollercoaster Tycoon and Caesar IV. I'm also a daily Brain Age player.

[Chovexani]

5. The Baldur's Gate Trilogy

One of the best RPGs ever made.

[RoyGBiv]

23. Same here ...

... and with mods, you can just play it over and over again, and it doesn't get old.

Minsc (and his space hamster) has to be one of the best all-time support characters in any game ever made of that variety.

[Solon]

28. "Go for the eyes Boo, go for the EYESSSS!!!!!"

I love Minsc, the best insane character ever! :D

[Chovexani]

39. Minsc and Boo are made of win and awesome

I also adored Edwin's transgendered quest. :D

Man they just don't make games like that anymore.

[RoyGBiv]

49. Oh, Edwin's quest was incredible ...

I couldn't believe they actually did that, but they did, and it was cool.

Edwin is one of those characters you want to be pissed. He's funny when s/he is pissed. :-)

[Chovexani]

32. I love the BG modding community

It actually made that game playable with a female PC. Anomen? :puke:

Gimme Solaufein any day. :loveya:

[RoyGBiv]

33. Oh, I hated Anomen ...

You're exposing one of the flaws of the original game ... Playing a female was not nearly as interesting as playing a male. Playing evil wasn't all that fun either.

But as you point out, the modding community corrected that. Relying on modders was by design, actually, so I can forgive to an extent the original problems.

Oh, damn ... I'm having an itch to start another campaign.

Ya know -- and I shouldn't admit this -- I actually got weepy the first time through BG II when my party and I were descending into Hell to face Irenicus. Those speeches they gave were just amazing.

Speaking of Irenicus ... Best. Villian. Ever.

[Lethe]

35. hell ya

David Warner is awesome!

(he kicked ass in Tron too!)

[Anarcho-Socialist]

6. Hearts of Iron 2 Doomsday

mostly any Paradox Interactive title.

[Deja Q]

7. Flight Sim X bored me after a while (graphics not nearly as those promised for DX10)

I do more with tools than games these days; I'm not keen to arbitrarily surrender $60 for something like that...

Not even $280 for the xbox with the cool new pacman game. It'll be ported to the PC, with same look and sound, anyway, one day.

[Parche]

8. what kind of tools?

this isnt a sex thread.........:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
:hi:

[Deja Q]

10. !

:rofl:

Photoshop, some fractal creation software (takes in 5 minutes what used to take well over 30), other imaging apps... graphic design being a second business venture I've been told to pursue...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Pong.

[Mojambo]

11. All time?

[DarkTirade]

12. Only the best game of all time.

Monkey Island



How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

13. DU

Never has there been a more fun game. :P

[cbayer]

36. Yep.

[pokerfan]

14. I bet no one has mine

And it's even free!

[YankeyMCC]

15. Master of Orion

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Orion

[VenusRising]

19. My husband plays that all the time!

Many nights I've fallen asleep while he has conquered the Universe. :rofl:

:hi:

[ThoughtCriminal]

53. I miss the original DOS MOO

The graphics weren't that great, but the game play was terrific.

[YankeyMCC]

55. That's the one I play

on occasion still...using a DOS Emulator DOSBOX

[Blue_Tires]

16. i'm still playing Counter-Strike

and some other HL mods, and I've been out of grad school almost 7 years now...ugh--time to finally re-retire for good...I guess I've been playing it more out of habit rather than pure enjoyment...

[yellowdogintexas]

17. Heroes of Might and Magic

In all its incarnations. We are up to version 5.3 currently. terribly addicting


Like WOW too I'll go back to it after I have exhausted the new Heroes stuff

[Godhumor]

18. My addiction that has now flirted with 4 years of time...

I love me some CoH--I'm a common face over on their forums, as well.

[Jamastiene]

21. Runescape

[keroro gunsou]

22. ffxi!

final fantasy 11... ftw

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/index.shtml

or as i am calling it now... fishing fantasy xi :D

[Zorro]

24. Deus Ex

Completely absorbed me.

[Frank Cannon]

27. I STILL play Deus Ex

I'll NEVER get tired of it.

In fact, the only games I still play are that, Homeworld, Civ 2, and Age of Empires. They just never get old.

[Generic Brad]

26. Madden 2007

The 2008 version would not load on my PC, otherwise I would have said Madden 2008.

[puerco-bellies]

29. Fallout.

Turn based RPG. Fallout 2 was almost as cool. Baldurs Gate was next on my list, but Fallout was such a trip. Iguana jerky anyone?

[havocmom]

30. GDP

whack a clown.

[SexyGalFan]

31. Chuzzle n/t

[Lethe]

34. Toss up between Tie Fighter, Planescape Torment, or Baldur's Gate

The old Tie Fighter back in the day was awesome.....Rebel Scum!

Planescape Torment had incredible story and gameplay. There was nothing like it, it was so dark. Also, attribs had real impact on the game.

The king of disturbing PC games goes to Harvester, however.....(you are wondering why the game is so fucked up and then at the end they reveal it to be training to become a serial killer)

Baldur's Gate was the same but a little less evil. Great games.

Oh i also really liked Knights of the Old Republic.

[RoyGBiv]

38. KOTOR ...

I liked that too, quite a bit. I wish more had been done with it. The Sith Lords was rushed to print far too soon, imo, and failed to achieve what it could have with the story. It's tragic when you're playing a game and getting really involved in the storyline and can actually *see* where the developers put in a dialog sequence to make up for a huge blank spot cut out because of marketing.

Just because ...

[Lethe]

41. yeah the second one was a little chopped up

for whatever reason.....the plot didnt make much sense but it's still cool to force storm everybody in the room :)

A Sith Lord character is pretty overpowered in those games.

[Chovexani]

40. Planescape:Torment was awesome

And about as close as that setting has ever been captured in video game form.

[Lethe]

45. That game was awesome huh?

I dunno, it was cool to actually play a character with high WIS INT CHA and never actually have to fight at all heh. It actually took the attribs into account with the dialog options and what you could do. Baldur's Gate did that to some degree but not to the extent that Planescape did.

[Inchworm]

37. Online Yahoo Scrabble

'Cause I pwn my GF!

*poofs out chest*

(I'm soooo lyin, I hope she doesn't secretly read DU)

:hi:

[Broken_Hero]

42. Warcraft, the first one...I still haven't beaten it yet...

damn orcs, and their sorcerers...

[Lethe]

44. man, never played the first one

but i did play Warcraft II like...., all the time. Shit, I even set my C++ compiler success commands to "Work Complete" by the Peons LOL

[Broken_Hero]

46. I started playing Warcraft I in...hmm, around 97

or so...beat four levels, and then my game broke...then I got it back for Xmas back in 03, and I beat the first five levels, and then I haven't touched it since....

I still like the command prompts...

"Yes my Liege?"

"What is thy bidding my lord?"

"What?"

"Why do you keep touching me?"

:)

[JCMach1]

43. Dungeon Keeper, Tropico, Railroads

and my number one waste of time

Transport Tycoon

[Chovexani]

50. Tropico 2 is one of my favorite games ever

It combines two of my obsessions in life, sims and pirates.

I love the fact that female pirates went to the whorehouses too. :rofl:

[JCMach1]

51. Will pick that one up in the bargain bin in the States this Summer

I usually get games cheap as I am a quite patient person!

48. Sierra's Kings Quest series

This is the first PC game I played on my brand new Tandy 1000 back in 1984. Sierra had great games.

[Kutjara]

52. Oblivion.

I played that game to death.

I'm currently enjoying Halo 3 on "extreme insanity you're gonna die over and over and over and..." mode. At the rate I'm going, I should be done by the time the events in the game occur for real.

[Adsos Letter]

54. SPWAW...

56. kickin' it old skool, Tetris
