View Full Version : Your top10 of greatest PC games ever.
I needed to lay my mind of the code for half an hour, so to amuse myself I present to you this rather unoriginal thread.
So what PC games made the greatest impact on you at the time ? Note that this excludes commodore 64, amiga's, goddamned consoles and whatnot, just talking about pure old fashioned beige box pc games here. I'm talking about the wow-this-is-awesome/clever/profound factor here at the time the game became available. For instance: while I think GTA:Vice City was all sorts of imba, I excluded it in favour of H&D because I'd played much of it before, it was just presented so well.
So here's mine, probably gonna need adjustment somewhere while I think of more (no particular order) :
1] Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory
2] Planescape:Torment
3] Master of Orion 2
4] Freespace 2
5] Homeworld
6] Unreal Tournament
7] Dungeon Keeper 2
8] System Shock
9] Hidden & Dangerous
10] World of Warcraft
*Goddamnit, out of room for Half-Life, Civilization, Diablo, Sam&Max, C&C etc etc.
1). Pong
2). Frogger
3). Pitfall
4). Boulderdash
5). Bidi Bidi
6). Bricks
7). Railroad Tycoon
8). Xenon II
9). American Ninja
10). Donkey Kong
1] Codename Eagle
2] Command & Conquer
3] Battlefield 1942 (I stil love this game, but CE was earlier with the concept)
4] Half-life
5] Grand Theft Auto
6] Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
7] Company of Heroes (ability to demolish an entire town)
8] Diablo II
9] Warcraft 3
10] World of Warcraft
Codename Eagle was indeed awesome, and thoroughly overlooked. It even had a mission that had you shooting while skiing if memory serves me right.
And goddamnit Maloko, half of those are arcade/C=64 games. *shakescane*
they kicked ass at the time tho and were all inovative aswell. :D
Ports of Call was sick too and i mean the one you could play on your 8086 4mhz (turbo-enabled), 128kb memory , hercules gfx, no hdd only floppy!
Thats definately my nr. 11
In no particular order of imbaness:
1. Dune II
2. Civilization
3. Enemy Territory / RTCW
4. Red Alert / C&C series
5. Fallout 1 and 2
6. Fallout 3 (so cool it deserves a seperate notation)
8. World of Warcraft
9. Master of Orion 2
10. Diablo I / II
Not fair I dont htink I could name 10 games ;p
1) GTA (original)
2) Metal Gear Solid ( I think)
3) NFSU2
4) UT2004
5) World of Warcraft
6) BFBC2
Thoose are the only games I have really played there were more in the past but I was never a gamer I didnt own a PC till I was like 22yrs. So they are propally shit compared to what the rest of you have played. There have been a few others over the years, but gaming was never a big thing for me.. I spent most my time from 15 - 22 yrs partying, I was either hungover, coming down or still wasted.
(I hold my hands up Im a noob gamer for life)
In no particular order of imbaness:
1. Dune II
2. Civilization
3. Enemy Territory / RTCW
4. Red Alert / C&C series
5. Fallout 1 and 2
6. Fallout 3 (so cool it deserves a seperate notation)
8. World of Warcraft
9. Master of Orion 2
10. Diablo I / II
7. is so cool it doesn't even want to hang out with the others.

Tsk no need to vent your BC2 lack of ownage frustrations in this topic!!!!
7. Warcraft 3 - tower defence maps (Elements in particular)
My list will be rather short as i dont play that much of games.
1) C&C (specially TS since i was ranked 2 world wide and ranked 1 world wide with clan).
2)WoW
3) CS/CSS
4) Dune II (remember those nights Maloko?) :)
5) Sim City!
Most games i played on Amiga but we exclude those here so no mention of imba GianaSisters or Arkanoid (plingplong).
4) Dune II (remember those nights Maloko?) :)

Risk on shrooms!

For the people who played Dune, answer this easy question:

I won, now i get a free cookie?
Never played Dune but I have played google.. this is what I found ..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwisatz_Haderach
Edit: WTF I want a cookie too
I still have a rather large collection of dormant gmail adresses based upon Dune characters made at the gmail startup, like paul.atreides@gmail.com, piterdevries@gmail, etc etc.
One day that 500 million dollar movie trilogy will be made and I'll sell them to ubernerds. $$
The Nice:
1. Tropico3
6. Defense Grid
8. Killing Floor
Indeed ... imba games. Especially Killing floor and Defence grid are amazing considering the fact that they are steam games that cost less then 20 euros each.
The recent failz:
4. Call of Duty MW2
Play it before you burn it :p. A 2 minute getting owned big time online experience doesn't count imo :D
lol Feday, you rule ^^.
@ Maloko and Harrow: the reply is right!!!! also googling was allowed, lazy way to find it out!!! So you'll get a poisoned cookie.
I played only the 1st one of Dune, but i am uber fond of all the books which, if you never read one, i suggest you to read especially the first one. Try to guess the title: "Dune". If you think it was written in 1965, is amazing the world/science/environment this author created.
Avatar sucks ballz compared to this one :D.
