dungeon master and master of orion were damn good too.
Somebody asked: Master of Orion is a space strategy game, turn-based. 1994 or something. Explore, colonize planets, industrialize, research, build ships, negotiate, wage war.
The interface is pretty original and functional, the game is logical and fun - one of the nice things is you can design your own ships and put what engines, weapons, computers, shields you want and add special stuff like repair modules or extra fuel tanks... combats are turn-based chess-like things too.. And the ai is good. Sometimes there are a few huge ships facing thousands of little ships and it's hard to gauge what will exactly happen.

 List Threads
#42 posted by Shallow [213.143.16.244] on 2005/11/21 06:17:59
As you may have guessed I do actually hate them: I don't get the compulsion to post lists of things with no real explanation or insight into how that list was formed, like a couple of lines on WHY people like the stuff they're spooling off, or what those things did that makes them so much better than other similar things. In some cases even that wouldn't be that interesting - for instance we probably have a fairly good idea that almost everyone here likes Quake, but none of them is likely to have any surprising reasons for why they like it because it's been discussed a lot already. If it was for a game most people have never heard of it might be.
Worst of all are compiled Top 100 lists that people have voted on, these invariably have aberrations of one sort or another high up the rankings and serve only to shake your faith in humanity.
Anyway, for people who like lists, here's a handy one suggesting three possible ways of coping with the FUNC DRAMA!!! that has unfolded in this thread:
1. Ignore it and carry on as usual.
2. Post more stupid lists.
3. Bionicle (PS2).
(Options 2 and 3 may not be serious suggestions, and yes, I am a horrible person who uses kittens to rape babies to death)

I find it pretty hard to compare older games to modern games....but I guess my overall list might be something like:
1. Quake
2. Unreal
3. Battlezone 2
4. Unreal Tournament
5. Deus Ex
6. Far Cry
7. Blade Of Darkness
8. Guild Wars
9. Wheel Of Time
10. Half-Life 2
Guess that about sums it up for me. A few more I could substitute for those lower down the list e.g. Mechcommander 2, Quake 2. But that selection is a good enough spectrum of what I've really liked in gaming. Should be pretty obvious why each game is in.
