Tried UT 2004 and Unreal 2 but they are both meh. Rpg: I have started Arcanum ( Rpg a bit like Fallout 2 but different universes ), kinda buggy but really good. I have tried Neverwinter Night 2 but it was terrible so i gave up... I might give a try to the extension ( better writing ) when i will have some free time though. Hybrids: The Nameless mod for Deus Ex. Every Deus Ex fan should play this one. One of the best mods ever made. I played some civilization 2 and 4 not so long ago too but they aren't really new for me :p I have a lot of games i would like to play but i won't have enough time. I really want to start my ultimate run of BG1+Tosc+BG2+Tob+a bunch of mods ( ScS, ... ) but it would take me one afternoon just for installation+ mod selection and 1+ month of intensive gaming to complete so it probably won't happen. I really need to play some fallout 2 too. | ||

I also still haven't finished FF8. I have a save that I've been working on for, oh, 5 or 6 years now... last year sometime I celebrated finally reaching the end of the first disc. Once or twice a year I remember it and go and play a few more hours. | ||

Get them for the bug fixes, if for nothing else. Oh, and if you haven't played Fallout 2 before, bear in mind that it plays very differently from Fallout 3. Expect to run away (or die) a lot. Also, most people (especially children, gah) are jerks. Have fun! | ||

this game is incredible. I didnt sleep for 35 hours and then played through the following night you will obviously need dosbox for this ANYONE who remakes this game( no idea how good day[9] is at doing this, still a hint) will rake in HUGE cash. Its one of the most thought out and least recognized games of its time - weather conditions heavily influencing abilities in battle, diplomacy, 18 tribes, fomor raiders every year, rune spells with 2 kinds of spell casters, wandering mercs for hire( only way to find out about the rune combinations), artifacts, unique abilities etc. It was too much for 1995 article | ||

Here is a great site for everything fallout related : http://www.nma-fallout.com/ Oh and of course i personally consider F1 and F2 way better as an RPG than F3 and i think they are well worth a try ;] | ||

Single Player is horrible on CK:RoW but playing Skirmishes was really amazing. Can't find Kohan 1 videos on YouTube but this video is pretty similar, its the second game in the franchisé but the first one is much better. Couldn't find any video of CK:RoW but i could find a video of a sequel named Celtic Kings: The Punic Wars. Apparently the sequel features another playable faction | ||

With all the (S)NES emulators, Dosbox and whatever counted in too, the size of game pool increases manyfold. Oh, and Myth: The Fallen Lords, this game was insanely hard back in day, even nowadays it offers a good challenge and damn the LAN games are awesome. | ||

Yeah, i also tend to read/watch LP's of older games instead of actually playing them. The LP-ers can create quite enjoyable experience in otherwise dull game or in genre one would never play. i would recommend Let's play archives for many good LP's. personally i read: Boatmurdered (an Dwarf Fortress LP - it got me hooked on that awesome game) Headshoots (another DF lp) UFO lp's (i liked first the most) Fallout lp's (especially the one with stupid INT:3 char in F2) FF8 and some othes not really worth mention i think. | ||

X:Com UFO Defense and it's variations (e.g. terror from the deep) as well as Pharoah + its expansion pack Cleopatra which was a city builder type of game with various campaigns. Both were very well done. | ||

For rpgs, adventure games and similiar the first time experience will always be the best and I fear to play the same game again in order not to ruin memories... Well for any Final Fantasy lover, or general rpg enthusiast I really recommend Septerra Core : The Legacy of the Creator. Used to play it over 8 years ago, great music, graphics, enviroment, amazing storyline and even some tough battles that will take several times to beat. ![[image loading]](http://www.gamershell.com/static/screenshots/2540/40548_full.jpg) Give it a shot - I promise you won't get disappointed! | ||

Mount&Blade (2008) (and it's stand alone expansion Warband (2010) ) is so fucking amazing I cannot believe my eyes. Seriously, it's the most fun single player game I've played in a long, long while, and while there were complaints about it not being refined enough, or having medium graphics, it is truly and remarkably epic, but epic in the sense of 1996-1998 gaming, if you know what I mean. The highlights are the sheer freedom you have to do as you please, and of course the brilliantly implemented combat system, very sharp, easy-to-learn hard-to-master type that will fuel your returning and re-returning to this game years later down the line. It's and open ended RPG, with lots of subtle strategy and very intense third person action at the same time. It's a complex medieval fantasy setting with mounted and infantry combat, very realistic, no spells/magic, just cold hard steel and diplomacy. Here is a video showing combat from the Warband expansion multiplayer + Show Spoiler + http://www.shackvideo.com/mount-blade-warband-tutorial-5-combat-trailer-18143 | ||
