    K,

    10] Mario Cart <16bit>
    9 ] Resident Evil Directors Cut
    8 ] Monkey Island 2
    7 ] Final Fantasy VII
    6 ] UT
    5 ] Monkey Island 3
    4 ] Half Life
    3 ] Resident Evil 2
    2 ] Quake 3
    1 ] Monkey Island 4

    A diverse list, I know!. But these games represent a large percentage of my teenage years. They are the games that myself and all my friends have in common. The Monkey Islands (between my friends and I), and Resident Evil is more me.

    See Jimi? you dont have to be insane to like Resident Evil (although I guess I do have a sort of unhealthy obsession with it) but its just sooooo good.

    OK, I'll shut up now

    Well the word video means

    Main Entry: 1vid·eo
    Pronunciation: 'vi-dE-"O
    Function: noun
    Etymology: Latin vidEre to see + -o (as in audio)
    Date: 1937

    So it's a bastárdisation of the latin vidEre which means to see. But specifically it means something visual on a television which is where we play a lot of games.

    Kind of bleedin obvious really. Anyway back to the topic:

    1. Civ 2 (PC)
    2. Speedball 2 (Amiga)
    3. Pacman (Atari 2600)
    4. Deus Ex (PC)
    5. Half-life (PC)
    6. Quake 3 (PC)
    7. Tetris (Gameboy)
    8. Tekken 3 (PSX)
    9. Ridgeracer (PSX)
    10. The entire Monkey island series (Amiga and PC)

    In no particular order:

    Half Life + mods - PC
    Duke Nukem 3D - PC
    Konami Krazy Racers - GBA
    Tetris - GB
    Mario 64 - N64
    Sonic The Hedgehog - MD
    Premier Manager Series - Amiga
    Tomb Raider - PC
    Street Fighter 2 - MD
    Metropolis Street Racer - DC


    Even though I was their captive, the Indians allowed me quite a bit of freedom. I could walk freely, make my own meals, and even hurl large rocks at their heads. It was only later that I discovered that they were not Indians at all but only dirty-clothes hampers.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭phaxx


    Greenhell! You mentioned Dungeon Keeper! Good man yourself.

    Best game ever is the original Dungeon Keeper. Close second is Half-Life, then possibly games like Myst/Riven/Sc2000. I rather like Thief: The Dark Project.

    Dunno about anything else.

    I'm still playing Dungeon Keeper years after I bought it. 1997 I think? Absolutely brilliant, Bullfrog completely 0\\'N smile.gif
