On the other hand, I have around 200 dating from 1985, and I selected 2. It can't be that hard...

I though Settlers 4 was way too short Borat. I went through all the missions for each tribe including the dark tribe in about 3 weeks. I thought 4 was quite dull and a bit too simple for long-time Settlers players. Not much skill required at all I felt.

I can't really decide. I don't have many PC games and the ones I do, I bought them for online play.

Simple, yet addictive.

Agreed it was a great title! Although I can't agree that the newer ones aren't up to scratch. I have settlers 4 and it is just as addictive and superb as the first one. It really sucks you in for hours and hours.

Not my favourite though, if I had to name mine it would probably be the original Doom. this game took up a lot of my time when it was released and I can think of no game since that has had such an impact on me.

Other titles I consider strong contenders are : Tie Fighter, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island 1 + 2, Indy and the Fate of Atlantis, Frontier Elite 2, Carmageddon 1 + 2, Red Alert 1 + 2, Tiberian Sun, Unreal Tournament.

Ah. Shame. If you have XP, you could always try the compatability mode.

The disk woudn't work with Windows 98 upwards, it was a floppy, not a CD and when I tried it a message came up saying it wasn't compatible with the system. :(

I have C&C too and it works fine but its a CD.

What is wrong with it? My 8 year old Command and Conquer original still works perfectly. Although it doesn't look so hot anymore.

My favourite ever is the first Settlers game. I played that game solidly for 4 years and would still be playing it now if it still worked. The other Settlers games didn't even come close to the original.
