Gabriel Knight for sure.

The Beast Within was an amazing game. I never did get around to finishing the latest one though.

As was mentioned, Civ 2 was probably one of the best games ever made. Civ 3 and 4 just didn't cut it in comparison. I couldn't put Civ 2 down. I put Civ 3 and Civ 4 down many times and didn't want to continue playing. I'd go for most of Sid Meier's games, like Pirates, Colonization (which they just upgraded to a new game I can't seem to find in Korea), and Alpha Centauri.

Sim City was great, although I'm kind of partial to it as my name is actually on the credits of a number of games made by Maxis before we were bought out by EA and dissolved. The Sims was the last game I got to work on before moving on.

I really loved the SSI games, like Wizard's Crown and Phantasie I and 3 (2 was made for a separate platform, and I never got to play it). Their war game simulations were ground breaking.

Empire was a great game. The first world combat game that really took gaming by storm. (not Empire Earth, just Empire in Interstel).

EA's early games were great, like Starflight and Sentinel Worlds. So were games like Wasteland (which led to Fallout).

Good Old Games is a company that has started releasing older games, but they're not updated, just made so you can play the old games in Windows XP and Vista.

Oh, and Master of Magic was one of the greatest games ever made as well. Master of Orion 2 was great for its time. Master of Orion 3 sucked balls and destroyed the entire franchise. Star Control 2 was also a great game. And who can forget the whole Ultima franchise where you learned to become the avatar. Playing that when they were released was wonderful because you grew with the series and learned about the whole avatar thing as it happened, not because of the history of the game.

Anyone ever play Stunts? That was a great, great, great, great game. My friends and I used to make tracks for it and store them on floppies, trade the floppies, tried to beat each other's best times, then traded the floppies again. We even got our Math teacher hooked on it.

They really need to make a new version. I think it was made in 1989/1990. I should find the original for DosBox...

This is embarrassing. It's an old Doom map-pack ("Partial Conversion") I made when I was twelve years old and uploaded when I was fourteen. It's pretty terrible, though I do like the sky diving level I made. It was just an empty room with a parallax sky and a floor height of one inch (you can't see the floor, only the sky). Level ends once your health falls to +1% (ensured by Cacodemons).

i loved windjammers for the neo geo! I never had a neo geo, but some arcades had this game. You wouldnt think a flying disc game would be so addictive, but it was!

I also liked best of the best for the snes.

A game I dont even know who made was called digger (NOT dig dug)
it was very similar to dig dug but had some differences. I used to play this on my dad's old tandy. I would love to find it somewhere!

Civilization II and Heroes of Might and Magic III are my two perennial favorites. For those of you who are interested there is a web site called Celestial Heavens that has hundreds of fan created maps for Might Magic. Some of them are as good as any of the old 3DO maps.

For all the other console kids:

NES
SCAT - Flying Contra!
Baseball Stars - Fictional baseball league with great manger options.
BaseWars - Robots playing baseball. No tag outs. No force outs. Just robots fighting for the out or safe reach.
Cowboy Kid - I played every NES game with a cowboy on it to find this Action-RPG from my childhood. Varied levels and bosses

I'd love to see any of those games (especially BaseWars) remade or brought back. I think they would sell well in the various online stores for next gen systems.

I also loved Civ II and Colonization and spent many a happy hour building my empires when I was supposed to be at university. Rick Dangerous also deserves an honourable mention, simply because I can still remember playing it so it must've been good.

In that vein, I have a game related question I hope someone can help me out with. My brother sent me Civ 4 and Colonization 2 discs and they won't install properly on my laptop. I can get past the opening sequence on Civ4 but after that the whole programme crashes. The wee box thing says to reduce my graphics settings but I am useless with computers, patches and other computer giggery-ram type stuff. If someone can advise me on how to get my games working, I would be forever in your debt.
