1. Dune 2000 (PC)- I've only just got it and it's great! It's the first game to use the "Command & Conquer" engine and has 2 different houses to control! It even has one of the stars from the hit sci-fi Sliders acting in the cut scenes! As a fan of Command & Conquer I had to get it!
2. Tetris DX (GBC) - Tetris DX is one of the most addictive games ever! It may just look like a load of falling bricks but it's really challenging! Especially when you want to try and beat your friends highest score!
3. Pokémon series (GB/GBC) - All the games currently out in the uk are excellent! They feature great multiplayer modes, excellent longetivity and definately keep you going for AGES!
4. Goldeneye 007 (N64) - Without this, Perfect Dark wouldn't exist. Although I prefer the slightly advanced single player the multiplayer modes of Goldeneye are what won me over! There are so many things you can do on the multiplayer modes and it's definately satisfying when you have really low health but you get the golden gun and are able to destroy your enemies with one single shot!
5. Command & Conquer series (PC)- Excellent missions and excellent cut-scenes. Also easy access to internet play which only costs you what your internet access costs you! I hope there are more C&C games on the way!
6. Star Trek Series (PC) - There are so many different types of PC game under the Star Trek name that it is hard to say which is the best one! Most feature great storylines and some make you feel as if you are actually in an episode!
7. The Zelda Series (N64/SNES/GB) - I can't say how good the original 2 Zelda games are cos I've never played them but the zelda games from Zelda 3 to 7 are excellent! The SNES version has loads of things to do that it seems to last forever! The Gameboy version has some of the magic that the SNEs version had. The N64 versions are so good that no other RPG can compare with them!
8. Diablo II (PC) - This game is HUGE! I thought I had completed it when I had completed the first 6 missions but then I was taken to another world! I still don't know how many there are! I have Special REserve to thank for this game and I'm glad I chose it!
9. Mario Series (All Nintendo) - The Mario games may be getting a bit repetative now but that's cos they are sooooo good! People say they are rubbish but yet they still buy them! It's the same with sequels to games! I love 2D platformers and this was one of the best!
10. The War Of The Worlds (PC) - although this is the game I'm playing the most at the moment it is not my total favourite. It features machines straight from the book and has excellent AI. The loading times are a little slow but it's worth the wait!
11. Mario Kart (SNES/N64) - The SNES version is unbeatable! It has that certain Nintendo Magic that has never been beaten. The N64 version is almost as good but doesn't have that same spark the SNES one had. I wish Nintendo kept Koopa-Trooper as one of the racers!
12. Wario Land Series (GBC) - These games are platformers with a difference! You can't die! The levels are much harder and graphically better than any other platform game on the Gameboy at present. These games are so addictive that my GB battery pack seems to run out very quickly!
13. Dragon Warrior Monsters (GBC) - Similar to the Pokémon idea. This game has loads of places to explore plus a random map generator! The graphics are good and the music is probably the best ever for an 8-bit Gameboy game.
14. Doom/Duke Nukem series (PC/N64) I put these 2 games together cos they are very similar. Without these we wouldn't have games like Goldeneye, Turok or even Perfect Dark! The originals had the best graphics and playability at the time and the Doom games are record breakers cos nearly everyone has a version of Doom!
15. Donkey Kong (GB) - the original of this game was the very first platformer and cos platform games are my favourite this has to have some credit! Excellent game especially the GB version which keeps young kids going for ages!
2. Tetris DX (GBC) - Tetris DX is one of the most addictive games ever! It may just look like a load of falling bricks but it's really challenging! Especially when you want to try and beat your friends highest score!

The problem is it's too buggy at first, for the first time i've seen a patch that takes little time to fix that many bugs.
Diablo II has four Acts, each with 6 quests to complete, so you've got your work cut out for you, that's just on the first level, you then have two more levels to complete before you character becomes Hardcore. Once you are Hardcore, if you die, that's it, game over, no reappearing back in town or anything.
It is, as you say, a huge game.
Then, of course, you have the online version as well, you should be playing for the next couple of years at least. It was my first Gameaday prize too, and I am SOOOO glad you guys talked me into getting it!!
