Planescape: Torment is suck. j/k

I loved Planescape:Torment. I also love the BG-series, and Diablo II.

Long ago, I loved the old SSI Gold box game, especially the Pool of Radiance series. But most of you here are to young to have played them

But I'm a really bad source of information, I haven't played many CPG:s in my life. I found Warcraft II too easy, you learned an effective strategy too fast.

@MM: You like Planescape? Two things we can agree about

Favourite Game: Baldur's Gate

Sorry!

I didn't check the "Anatomy..." thread, I thought I was the only one old enough to even remember them...

Yanlee · Post by **Yanlee** » Wed Sep 05, 2001 7:31 pm

yep, I remember 'em as well-- I finished all the gold box games. My first was Champions of Krynn on my c64. Great games!
Pirates! was cool, too.

I still remember getting killed in my first fight by about 5 hobgoblins! I didnit realise that one sleep spell could finish them all off. Now that's real gaming! Horrid wilting and timestops? Bah

Fav. games,

In no particular order,

BG2
PS:T
BG
AoE/AoE2
StarCraft
MechCommander
Alien Vs. Predator
Star Trek: Birth of the Federation
Star Trek: Klingon Academy
Star Trek: Armada
Star Trek: Dominion Wars
Mech Warrior 4: Vengenance

Anyway, the list goes on...

In no particular order:

1) Unreal Tournament: Best first-person shooter ever created in my opinion.
2) StarCraft: Best RTS in my opinion, great story too.
3) Baldur's Gate 2: Need I say more?
4) Heroes of Might and Magic: The reason why I like turn-based stragety now.
5) Homeworld: I just love this game!!!
6) Diablo 1: IMO, better than D2.

Although I am only 15, I too have played the GoldBox games thanks to Abandonware websites. My favorites are Pool of Radiance and Eye of the Beholder. The one thing I don't like old-school RPGs is that they are all first person with a very limited freedom to move. I think Baldur's Gate is a great improvement using the isometric view instead of first person.

Did I see CTP listed?

Heretic! That is nothing compared to the Sid Meier games!

Yanlee · Post by **Yanlee** » Wed Sep 05, 2001 8:05 pm

To choose one of these as my all time favourite would be a disservice
Here goes... (and in no particular order)
Exile 3/Blades of Exile
The SSI Gold Box games
Eye of the Beholder
Pirates!
Civilization
Wizball
BG2
Bard's Tale
Wizardry 7
Moonstone
International Test Cricket
Barbarian
Paper Boy

Hmm, so that's where the years have gone!

Great @all keep it up!

Geez I hate when poeple say "In no particular order:" But I can completly understand what they mean.

The Sid Meier games?

If I seem a bit ignorant of PC games, it is because I only just started playing PC games this year...

Georgi · Post by **Georgi** » Thu Sep 06, 2001 3:25 am

My favourite...
BG series

And for FPS I like Unreal Tournament

But then like Sailor Saturn, I don't have that many games, so it's hardly much of a recommendation

@humanflyz: if you're going to quote sexist Shakespeare, get it right... "Frailty, thy name is woman!"
