What is the best computer game you have ever played?

[Orius]

I've played few computer games myself, most of my gaming experience is on consoles. Computer gaming tends to be expensive, and console games are just easier to work with. Plus I'm suing a cheap notebook PC right now, and it's not the greatest platform for gaming (the Windows Experience Index for this machine is a 2.3...so yeah not going to be using this for a lot of gaming), and laptops/notebooks feel real clumsy to me for gaming.

I'll give yet another mention to Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. BG for the excellent adaptaion of the D&D rules to a computer game and NWN for the toolset and mutltiplayer. But my favorite would have to be Majesty: The Fantasy Kingom Sim.

If we're counting console games:

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 :-(

And the X-Com series can be found on Steam.

I only play two games, because they are so good they don't need any improvement:

Pong and OD&D

Ok, not really. I really enjoyed both of those back in the day but I've moved on now.

Wasteland, then Fallout, then Fallout 2

No Fountain of Youth, or was it just not good enough?

No Fountain of Youth, or was it just not good enough?

Is that a game? I've never heard of it.

Not including consol games, the games that I have enjoyed and/or wasted the most time on:

The Civ series.
World of Warcraft (by far, the biggest time waster).
Dragon Age
Diablo II
and my favorite computer game of all time,

Knights of the Old Republic.

Bascially, two companies can put out a product, and I'll play it: Bioware and Rockstar.

Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth?

Or do you mean Fountain of Dreams, the Wasteland sequel? That wasn't all that good.
