What is the best computer game you have ever played?

[Welverin]

It has to do with unclear rights mostly. But Might & Magic 1-6 are at Might and Magic® 6-pack: Limited Edition - GOG.com

And some games simply used so many bugs from DOS and Windows display and sound drivers that any emulation probably is impossible :-(

I think the biggest reason would be some companies just not wanting to, some companies are just going to be opposed to DRm free games. I suspect that's why there is nothing from EA available.

Diablo II
World of Warcraft
X-Com: UFO Defense
Quake II - with the Team CHAOS mod
The Witcher 1 (yes, I'm biased)
Neverwinter Nights 1 (yes, I'm biased here too)

and my all time fave...

Knights of the Old Republic 1 (I prerfer it on the Xbox over the higher res PC version, actually)

The Witcher 1 (yes, I'm biased)
Neverwinter Nights 1 (yes, I'm biased here too)

What makes you biased?

Too many great older games from my teenage and college years to name just one; lots have already been mentioned in this thread.

Best PC game in the last 5-ish years? Mass Effect 2 just barely over Dragon Age: Origins. Can't get it out of my head! I'm waiting for my gaming laptop to get back from the shop so I can get back to my Hardcore playthrough.

I was project lead involved in the production of expansions for both games (the Witcher PC expansion was cancelled during its development by CDPR).

I've been playing video games since about 1977, when I was 7 years old, and the most astonishing game I've ever played was Mass Effect 2 which came out last year.

And I find this amazing and remarkable because it indicates the Golden Age is probably yet to come.

Go play Planescape: Torment! Now! It's a crime that you haven't played it yet.

If only. I have just overcome, I believe, an addiction to Medieval II: Total War that has been destroying my life. As long as GOG is alive though, I imagine I will get around to it and the BG Series at some point. I swear, it will be weird playing for the first time games that use rules from AD&D... (those games, not any games; I have played lots of Gold Box).

 

[Ahnehnois]

Probably Civ II, but I'd also consider Baldur's Gate II and Fallout II (why is the second one always the best one?).

Having now played Fallout 3 extensively, I'm going to have to add that to the pantheon.

Sim Date

Pirates

Prince of Persia series

Heroes of Might & Magic

Pokemon - yes I will claim this!
