Cool

What are your favorites? I have so many it's hard to pick, but I shall list my top 10 or so.

Half-Life, however, is not my all time favorite

10. Doom (id Software) The one that started my geeky addiction!
9. Quake2 (id Software) It was a buggy mess, and it had a shitty single player game, and it was buggy as hell. It started my multiplayer addiction, and I will never forget my first frag (w00t)!
8. Full Throttle (Lucas Arts) This game was short, I could beat it under 3 hours after I beat it the first time. But it was a phenomenal game that was very rewarding (and humorous). It had a great story, cinematics, and music. You can probably find it for like 4 dolars now, I suggest you get it.
7. GTA (don't remember) I was bored one day, so I figured "what the heck", and installed the demo of a PC Gamer CD. That was in the morning. I played until the late evening. I played this demo more than I've played entire full games. It was so much fun.
6. Star Craft (Blizzard) I need to say one thing: "WANNA TURN UP THE HEAT?"
5. Sim City 2000 (Maxis) I used to play this with my dad (the few things we ever did together). The music was great, and so were the graphics. A masterpiece it was.
4. Hmm, a tie! Duke Nukem 3D (3D Realms)/Homeworld (Sierra). Duke Nukem 3D was a kick ass game, and you know it! The level design was great, the violence was offensive, so was the sexuality and language. Ah memories... "Shake it baby!"
------------------------------------
Homeworld was a forgotten game, that not a lot of people bought. I'm glad I did, though. The atmosphere was amazing, and the music was, well, it's indescribable, some of the most amazing music I've heard. Ever. It was very short, but still rewarding. It was highly challenging and the graphics were stunning.

3. Mech Warrior 2 (Activision) This game has one of the best opening movies you will ever see. I installed the demo for this way back in 1995/6! I didn't even know what it was, so I thought "What the heck". I got the game for my birth day that year. I played it like balls marie. I used to play it in my sleep (lol). I was VERY good at that game. Oh yeah, and the music ROCKED

2. Half-Life (Valve) I don't need to explain why I like it, do I?! w00t!




And my all time favorite....



1. Jedi Knight (Lucas Arts) Yes, It's true, this is my favorite. I was in another universe when I played this game (the Star Wars universe ) I will never forget this game.

Your thoughts?

My game collection is made up from, perhaps worryingly, just shooting games.

Anyway, the only games I play anymore are Day Of Defeat and Counter Strike.

My most favourite game is NFS5, partly cause I downloaded 10 extra cars including a 509 bhp Boxster. My second favourite game has got to be the Sims. Yes THE SIMS. I seems childish, but I build houses that have actual architeture and I play the game with strategy not cheats. It is quite the hit. TS also kicks ass along with Starcraft and Caesar 3.

No real order for me either.

Computer:
1. The Sims - I love designing houses.
2. Need For Speed High Stakes - I downloaded a sweet 348, that I have in Azzuro Blue, and a '94 Toyota Camry that RULES for pointlessly cruising along at 90 while listening to loud music.
3. Interstate '82 - I love my De Landau
4. Dark Forces 1 - I like the stormtrooper rifle.
5. Rainbow Six - I've downloaded about 300 different guns....great fun multiplayer with my real life friends
6. Midtown Madness 1 and 2 - I hook up my wheel and pedals, and cruise around in the snow in my F-350 fake plowing and delivering furniture. Yes, I'm a little strange. Don't hold it against me
7. Police Quest 2 - I love that game...
8. Space Quest 3 - Another great oldie
9. Hero's Quest - Yet another goody
10. Full Throttle - This game rocks...I don't own it, but I rented it about 30 times when it was new. Would have been cheaper to buy it. I still should......

Playstation:
1. Gran Turismo 2 - Drifting on Grindelwald (Time trail) while listening to loud music.
2. Gran Turismo 1 - I loved my pink AE86 Sprinter Trueno....
3. Test Drive Off Road 3 or 4 (whatever the newest one is) - I like the Cherokee
4. Colin McRae Rally v2.0 - This is my second fav. The Puma rocks.
5. Chrono Cross - great fun, long though...
6. Grand Theft Auto - Steal enough cars and take them to the docks in one area and everybody will avoid that area for at least 10 minutes. Serious! Of course, then you have to run to the next town which takes that whole 10 minutes. I like the country song in the truck...the lyrics are funny.
7. Parappa the Rapper - I thought this would be so dum. Then I started playing it. That was 10 PM. I was still playing at 10 PM the next night...I was up the whole time.....Man, I gotta rent that again....
8. Abe's Oddysee - Gotta love farting.
Can't think of any more.....

7.

Thumbs up

Yeah! Full Throttle! It would be awesome if Lucas Arts made a sequal, but then again, every game they made since JK is a piece of shit.

Nice! Some people actually still like SC2000, I was the master at that game, one city I built covered the entire map and every "module" is equally sized and placed so one end of the city is the same as another. It is so great with money to, I let my computer run for 2.5 hours and evry year I was making 300K so after a month of that I had 209 or something million dollars. I think it was actually 257, without cheating. Beat that.

Beat that!? NO PROBLEM! Back when I had it on our family Apple, I had a city that covered the whole map as well, but my funds were about 5 BILLION and I was making over 1.2 million per year. This was before I had the internet, and before I even knew what a cheat code was!

I cheat in The Sims, but that's only because designing and building houses is basically the only thing I like to do in it. So I just give my self a few hundred grand, and build away. I'd actually play it more if somebody made a trainer or something that kept your Sims mood levels all green. I'm not that hard to keep in a good mood! . Plus it takes an hour to walk to the bathroom and take a dump, so you never have time for anything else in the morning before work. That's what makes it so tough. They need to either make the guy faster or the time slower.

Yeah, that's the thing I hate about the sims. I think you should have to work faster, and maybe as a result, you stay at work longer, or have to construct your own house. That would be neat, making your sim built his house.

I'd like that. I fyou want some more stuff for houses Heep go to here, www.simfreaks.com I got about 80 things for houses there, they actually make it half-realistic with closets, curtains, ceiling fans, gold and new objects. I don't really cheat in the Sims cause I find it too boring if I'm actually playing with a certain family. My sister just cheats all the time and she has no concept of architecture or style. I try to be Martha Stewart in my houses and make everthing perfect and matching. I don't I guess I'm just sensitve to that sort of stuff. BTw, I wish you could actually get cars on your driveway! I saw someone do it before but I want that Viper!

Yeah, I'm really careful about color matching and making sure the table is the right spot, etc. As for the Viper, you can get it with the use of a special program or two, or you can just find someone that has already offered it up for download and download it. I want the GTI.
