"Greatest games of all time....."

........ok, what i mean by that is, what game have you played the most and enjoyed the most. what game has been able to slip through your criticism, and then hit you hard in the face with action, excitement and style that is best suited to you? is the game great to play online or offline, does it appear to have the durability and lastability that is unmatched even by the oldest trees? (why trees? I DUNNO!)

speak out for the game that has been the most fun and lasted the longest in your CD drive. im not talking about last weeks release, im talking years back, or maybe even months back. did you get Unreal Tournament 2003 on the release date, and are still blasting it out with 0% boredom? are you STILL sneaking and sniping in Operation Flashpoint? Did you have the best era of life playing a favourite strategy game????


TELL ME!!!!!!!!

ok, ill start you all off.

i have to say it is closely matched between mechwarrior 4 mercs and red faction. red faction because i made many friends and had bloody good fun online, but is being tailed by the infamous MECHWARRIOR, which is probably the best game ill ever lay hands on.

So tell the world (or just this sad little gathering of furom-dwellers) what your best game is of all time!

I meant that there are many more large companies now, because at the time people like Wendell Hickett (Scorched Earth) and Dave Winolda (UBlast) were making games and sending them around, encouraging people to copy them so more people could register to get the larger scale game.

I'd have thought there was fewer competing companies these days, especially when companired to the eighties??

never played escape from monkey island....

Escape From Monkey Island ruled muchly.

MONKEY ISLAND SERIES!

There is much more competition nowadays- 10 years ago, I was still using shareware from people making games at home- and was registring until about 1995. They stopped it all in '97, bought a tear to my eye to lose a PC institution.

It's always easy to think of a new story for a game but the only thing that lets games down is the Genre.

its harder and harder to make new games every day, because it's harder and harder to find something original and entirely new game concept.

I was looking through all my old games recently and came across BattleZone II, which i spent hours of addictive gameplay on and at the time that was my favourite game.

A make called CHAMP or something who had the motto 'Yesterday's arcade on today's PC' put them both on PC in about 1995- they'll run on ME with a DOS operation. Think Microsoft put Pac-Man on PC as well in the mid-90s. You can also get Space Invaders, Missile Command and other classics on PC-I think Atari had a huge selection on CD-ROM for about £15, and I also found a huge disk with 1000 old games on it for about £7. Proof OLD GAMES RULE! (As do new ones).
