Civ is crap anagellis, wtf are you on about? Closed game, no mystery, no open-endedness or exploration. Yawn.
Halflife was a great game btw but didn't last long enough. Halflife two was mindblowingly good too but I didn't finish it cos my puter played up 🙁
i should have also added zelda the wind waker to my post.it is a fantastic game.(i actually thought that the art was fantastic/different.was quite a brave move by shigeru miyamoto.)damn,why did i only say 5 games.

Ooh just been reminded of Portal.
Can i swap HL2 for the orange box, then i get portal as well.
Portal is great as a concept game to show it off. I think they are looking to include it in the next episode of HL or poss HL3.
Its a mind bending thing use, one step up form the grav gun. If they introduce it to a fast paced online DM game it will take some getting use to.
SmashTV on the SNES. I spent A LOT of time playing it, usually at about 3am on a Saturday morning after clubbing 🙂
Gauntlet worth a mention too - I never got tired of hearing "Wizard needs food, badly!" 🙂
God what a great thread... im a total geek still after all these years after my zx spectrum!
impossible to answer but i'll give it a go going in a time line styleee
1 - Manic Miner (zx) - the original classic
2 - Bubble Bobble (Amiga)- jump from spectrum 128k to amiga was huuuuge!!
3 - Tomb Raider (PS1)- amazing graphics and was just such a jump!
4 - Grand theft auto - (PS2) again amazing jump, open world environment!
5 - Call of duty - massive jump again with graphics and online play
again i agree with most of the above...
gauntlet - amazing
populous - first proper point and click
gran turismo - (ps2) wasted my life on that
syphon filter (ps1)
thing is these days the graphics are in another world but most of the games dont have the gameplay the old ones did?
Oh yeah, Day of the Tentacle. Took me months to complete but was so worth it.
Elite, BBC disc version. You could not become Elite on the tape version. Analog Voltmace joystick, hmm i played that most days for years.
Half Life Orange box
Gran Turismo, can't decide which version. Probably one with the Pikes Peak Escudo in it.
Command and Conquer, probably Generals/Zero Hour +/- some mods.

i'm not a gamer but i remember a fantastic game that took my imagination when i was about 16 (19 years ago) it was called slaughterhouse, anyone else remember it? we used to play it in arcade version when the shows (fair) came to town. another one i remember fondly was 1941 a ww2 plane shoot-em up probably from when i was 10 years old. i'd be interested if anyone knew where to download these games for pc........
1) Elite - BBC Tape version, killed how many thargoids before realising couldn't become Elite until I bought a disc drive 🙁
2) UFO Enemy Unknown
3) Ultima Underworld
4) Max Payne
5) Half Life series
There was also a PC flight sim that took many hours of my life where you flew an F22, but also got to conduct the war from an Awacs in a persistant campaign etc, forgot the name though
Too many to choose but this thread brings back some good gaming memories
Not really ever been into 'puter games but I really liked European Air War - more of a sim than a game. Unfortunately the Dell we've got now won't play it though.
Don't think I've played five games other than Space Invaders and Pacman.
1) Joint Operations
2) Joint Operations
3)Unreal Tournament
4) Age of Empires 2
5)Call of Duty 4
Seriously [b]Everyone[/b] should try Joint Operations online, amazing! 😯
Guess I would like to put MS Combat flight simulator with the joystick in too, but Joint Operations must be recognised!

Bollocks. I've just remembered I loved R-Type too. Oh, and Stunt Car Racer (good call).
I never considered myself much of a gamer but I'm tempted to bin the wife tonight and break out the Mame emulator on the original XBox for a bit of R-Type and Gauntlet...

I tend to like games that have good multiplayer functionality.
Drac - you wasted weeks?
I wasted 3.5 years! Nightly. And I didn't usually do instances either!
Big handful of l70 toon,s and plenty of FB friends aquired over the time. Its the only way I talk to my sister (who's a warlock orc, btw) and her kids, and guys I was at poly with 20 years ago logged in to play - our guild was a big happy family!
Lost a good few of my clan mates to WOW before they saw the light.
