Transport Tycoon! Nice one Drac.

Loved that game had a huge Tycoon going massive railways, roads and airports that I could afford to upgrade the vehicles every year. For some reason though it would always crash at a certain point so never got to see just how much my empire would be worth.

Dammit, how could I have forgotten Chuckie Egg! Genius!

Played other good games but those 5 were the ones that were on another level entirely.

Sam n Max – utterly twisted
Day of The Tentacle ( spent £250 on a Cd rom drive and the best part of £200 for a sound card in order to play it )

Sudden Strike ( not great graphics, but very playable )

COD4 (online) PS3 ( I love killing real people!!)

I also highly rate GTA 3 on PS2, on another day when feeling less nostalic that might knock Sonic off of the list.
