Honourable mentions to Silent Service II and SimCity. NBA Jam was fun too.


Remember using the cheat SHIFT 'funds' at the start to get max money and an earthquake would roll in!!

The Civ series is awesome.
Hanging out for the release of number 5 later in the year.
Looks 10x better than its predecessors.

X3. Love those games, have owned every one. Didn't know there is a 5th due, awesome!

On strategy games - you can't go past the Total War series. Rome Total War and Medieval 2 Total War the best. Haven't played the latest yet.

Can any one remember back to the first electronic game...?

I think it was called Pub Pong?

At the time nothing beat it... :oops:

How far we have come.

TV's become obsolete after 6 months.

Whats next 4D? ;) :D

For me as far as MMORPG's go it'd be Atlantica Online.

For video games it's the Myst series by a country mile.

Strike Altantica...turned into a grind/craftingfest...soooo boring...and they make it so you have to pvp to progress and I prefer pve and soloing.

Now playing Dungeon and Dragons Online (DDO)...fantastic so far.
None of the usual 'kill 30 of this' then '40 of that'. Looks like it can nearly all be solo'd or partyed and the dungeons/instances have up to 4 lvl's of difficulty and they have traps to avoid/puzzles to solve too...bit like in Zelda type games...but it's not so childish/cartoony :D

Close second to that would be Impossible Mission on C64, that was such an addictive game.

Now this has me excited! What could be better than Goldeneye 13 years ago?

Goldeneye now!

When I lived with my parents, it was Betrayal at Krondor...

Still now the only game I would play (apart from Facebook Wheel of Fortune) on the computer, if I could find a workable one to download (all the others either require payment or some "zipping" which I am not technical enough to do).

Civ 1 was the nuts.

As was Monkey Island.
