[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 743750, member: 184"] Hunt the Wumpus was great. And remember Lemonade? and Aztec? As for good games, though...M.U.L.E. was good. Oh, and Pirates! was awesome. Wastelands was addictive. Games like Adventure and Impossible Mission frustrated me to no end, but I played the heck out of them just the same. Wayne Gretzky Hockey 2 was probably the greatest hockey game ever made, and the Hockey League Simulator that went with it is the grandfather of the FHL program I use to run my online hockey league. Civilization was a lot of fun, so was Doom. Spent a lot of time playing Warlords on that same map, over and over. I think there was only 1 or 2 Gold Box games I never played. Sim City was strangely addictive. I still haven't seen a space battle game to live up to either Wing Commander or Tie Fighter. X-Com will go down as one of the greatest games ever, why it hasn't been successfully cloned is beyond me. Master of Orion was fun, but I prefered MOO2 (here's hoping we someday get a new MOO sequal that is actually Master of Orion). Daggerfall was great, in all it's buggy glory. Diablo was some crazy fun. And Heroes of Might and Magic II made for many a late night. Civ 2 was multiplayer, yay! Balder's Gate was the the trimphant return of RPGs, along with Fallout. System Shock and Thief and their sequals were engrossing, to say the least. Need for Speed III made racing fun. Should I be embarrassed that I enjoyed the Sims when it first came out? No, I think I'll reserve that blush for EverQuest... More recently, I've played of lot of EA's NHL franchise, though I've finally given up on it. No One Lives Forever and Max Payne are both great. Morrowind is breathtakingly beautiful, though it has a few forgivable faults as a game. Civ III with Play the World makes it easy to forget Call to Power. Heroes of Might and Magic IV is more of the same, but a good more of the same. Right now I'm having fun with Sim City 4 (when I can spare the time). I've been disappointed with a few of the newer games. Warcraft 3 just wasn't what I was hoping for. Take that, multiply it by 1000, and that's my dissapointment in Neverwinter Nights. MOO3 just makes me angry, but that's a pretty fresh wound. That was a fun walk down PC game memory lane.... [/QUOTE]
