Ah, what the heck - it's summer, so I guess I can spend a weekend setting up some emulators and running the games you mentioned. I hope they'll work for Vista 64bit. I don't understand how game developers screw up so badly nowadays - no matter how great the graphics are, if the story is shit, the game is shit, you know? Gameplay and story wise, old SNES games were so much better. Also, too much FPS nowadays. literally 90% of the games being released these days are FPS or have FPS elements. | ||

Personal best is ADOM, and others are Nethack, Dungeon crawl, Incursion, ToME and others. there are also others more "action" like rougelikes like Doom RL , Berserk RL, or Aliens RL (by Kornel Kislewicz) And tehre is also the biggest sandbox fortress bulding simulation ever "Dwarf Fortress" with really blody battles, child labour, never sober dwarves, gigant doomsday devices, and magma. (try searching an Boatmurdered - let's play, its awesome). | ||

I did try Dwarf fortress. It was fun - but once you re-create the emergency lava switch from Boatmurdered, you reach kind of an end, you know? Nothing can ever threaten you from land, and it becomes just text based management from there... | ||

Fallout 1, 2 Baldur's Gate 1 (do it with a full play-through into 2) Planescape Torment (bar-none best story-driven RPG of all time) Mask of the Betrayer (first expansion for Neverwinter Nights 2--VASTLY superior to the default campaign) TES: Morrowind Other genres: Company of Heroes (as much as this site derides RPGs that aren't Starcraft, this one's pretty good, and definitely some good fun at LANs) System Shock 2 | ||

Morrowind.. ehh. After spending so much energy on Oblivion, I'm afraid to go back into modding into that game. Maybe when I was younger, I had the passion to spend hours to 3D model and make the texture of a new sword into just the right color, size, and looks - but not anymore... Baldur's Gate 1? I already played 2 - and I thought about it, but 1 is just a lower level cap version with an unrefined engine, as far as I can see. Yeah, I already played all the expansions of both neverwinter nights. I agree Mask of the Betrayer was excellent. Shiet, I did try company of heroes. It was in the same vein as Warhammer 20K though. Meh. System shock, never looked at it before. A quick google search shows promise, but I don't know if it'll run in vista 64bit. Is it good enough that I should go through the trouble of reprogramming the exe or finding a compatibility patch for it? | ||

you should join and sign up on our server. the fee really doesnt add up to much esp given the time periods that ppl often play the game in, and if you're a big game (and customization!) enthusiast with a bit of time it sounds like a great fit. also lol james rpg's that aren't starcraft? interesting... | ||

Good job reading the thread. Someone recommended WoW on the first page, and orgolove respectfully declined. On July 10 2010 16:04 orgolove wrote: System shock, never looked at it before.

There will be a reasonable amount of familiarity of the other to someone who's played one. I think SS2 pulls off the experience a little better, but opinions vary. | ||

After that, I dunno. Guild Wars? Not typically an MMORPG but the full package must be experienced at least once. | ||

If you liked Fable, you might like Jade Empire, I know I did. Also how was Neverwinter nights 2 ? I loved the first one and the expansions, but the second one looks different. | ||

Platformers you got some classics like donkey kong 1-3 (SNES), mario 64, SMW2 yoshi's island, etc. Lots of good stuff. Looks like most of your list is PC games.... Lots of stuff on SNES/GBA/N64 if you really want to play some games. :p Emulators for a lot of these things are now pretty good too. PSX emulation is lagging a bit behind though so... yeah. Megaman Starforce 1-3(so far) were graet games also | ||
