I don't think there is a game posted here I didn't like. Though I would like to mention again as only one person listed them, next to the Final Fantasy series, these two games shown bright and will forever be my favorite RPG's

Secret of Mana-Now your friends can play your RPG with you!!
and
Chrono Trigger- damn good story, multiple maps and killer combo moves

both on the SNES

Best RPG EVER!!

Well, it seems like AO players are over-represented in the Planescape: Torment-is-a-very-good-game category

I played it for a long time until I found out that the "DO NOT OPEN" box I opened early prevented me from fighting the big bad monster...

Still, I loved the game, the story and the character development. Definately the most über character I've ever made in the D&D system..

**Marodex** · Oct 16th, 2002, 02:56:26

My top 10, in no order.

1)Starcraft - cause of the unbeliavable balancing
2)Warcraft - the idea, the design everything
3)Age of Empires - Pull thou tribok and shooteth the tower down!
4)Ultima Online - Cause although being first serious mmorpg still best in trades&pvp
5)Xcom Series - Because they were so awesome and I never managed to finish any of them (lol)
6)Diablo Series - omg!
7)Everquest - For filling up 4 years of my life
8)Anarchy Online - I don't need to comment on this one or ?
9)Moonstone - AWESOME Amiga game
10) Freespace2 - Wish it never ended

Have to add one last one tho:

11) Wing Commander series - Nailed me to my comp and never let me go till I was done.

**Gene13** · Oct 16th, 2002, 11:03:15

Based on how much time I've spent playing it, or how bad I want a sequel. AO not listed, but it would probably be up there somewhere.

Action Quake 2
Fallout
Civ
Colonization
Planescape: Torment
Pirates
Ghosts and Goblins
Full Throttle
1942 (or was it 1941? c64)

I never knew Planescape: Torment was such a poor seller. Yep, it had the best story of any Bioware/Infinity game and it was fun, and could be very damn hard in places.

Explains why they've never made another Planescape game then

**____________Nanomina** · Oct 16th, 2002, 21:42:14

For all you old schoolers out there...anyone remember Starflight I and Starflight II?

Now THOSE were great Games.

**Jynne** · Oct 16th, 2002, 21:54:29

I don't think anyone on here has said Nethack... that can't be right... I can't be the only one here who spent way more time on my university's unix box looking for the Amulet of Yendor than I ever did writing my programs for class...

**Maximilian** · Oct 17th, 2002, 07:32:33

-> Jynne: You will have a rather hard time to find AO players that will recall (Net)Hack. I am - cough - 30+, and 'just' played the PC(AT) version (and I loved it).

So long,

Max(imilian)

P.S. Doesn't mean, that those old guys don't play AO, but I guess, we are the minority.

**________________THOR** · Oct 17th, 2002, 13:25:04

But... but... I am still a few months shy of being 25... there are lots of IT people and programmers who play AO. Nethack is like... a tradition

**Centurion3** · Oct 17th, 2002, 17:22:57

Baldurs gate 1 & 2... the addon for 2 sucked though...
Command And Conquer! Fight! Win! Prevail!
errr... Wolfenstein was kinda revolutionising when released...

**Measle** · Oct 17th, 2002, 20:07:01

Another vote for nethack. . .

it is FREE and it is STILL evolving. (current version 3.4.0) Better than most games out there that cost mucho bucks.

Endlessly fascinating and rewarding. . . .
