Am I the only one who only posted my favourite?

As in one... you know, making it your favourite

Maybe we have a different concept of favourite down here

Hehe, alright, here:

The Civilization series was started by Sid Meier and his coworker Brian Reynolds. They created the first game, Civilization, and the second, Civilization 2. All other games (Civ2:CTP, Test of Time) are just money grubbing versions by companies who got into liscensing fights (Activision and Microprose). The next game in the genre that Sid Meier released is Alpha Centauri. Also a great game, albiet it's placed in the future so technology is definately harder to comprehend.

So the true civ games are: Civilization, Civilization 2, and Alpha Centauri.

Also, the same guys who made Civ1/2 are making Civilization 3 right now, thanks to more liscensing deals. It's due to be released in October.

Picky picky

I think the BG series is a legitimate choice...

But if I had to choose, my favourite part was probably Shadows of Amn

Wuhuu, two of my most favorite games ever, X-com has to take the first place on my all time greatest list.

Favourite game ever, Schooldayz on the spectrum. Alright it's not a PC game but I still play it with an emmulator.

Also Lords of Midnight and other Mike Singleton games were the absolute muts nuts.

Sorry to correct you since we share the similar game preferneces but I think you mean Bruce Shelly??? NO?

@all Civ influenced pretty much every strategy and most RTS game released since '91.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Ultima Underworld (System Shock's father) since it's really a FPS (better and came out a year before Doom) with a rich rp story line.

Carbonyl · Post by **Carbonyl** » Thu Sep 06, 2001 7:55 am

@Carbonyl Haven't played it, but you've reminded me of some other good games...

Monkey Island

The first two anyway, I haven't played the later ones.

I was refering to that over-priced, over-hyped abomination called Black and White.

ThorinOakensfield · Post by **ThorinOakensfield** » Thu Sep 06, 2001 6:48 pm

I didn't like Black and White.

My favorite game?
Mortal Kombat 4.
Not really
I like BG1, probably my favorite, also the SIms and Fifa 99.

Everyone is saying that Counter-Strike is the best team action shooter there is. Well I say **** that. I've played and all I encountered are jerks. They cuss, steal frags, cheat, ban people recklessly just because they have a weird name, and brag all the time. I just want some fun that would help me escape the real world, like UT.
