You know? I left something off and I cannot believe I did!

Battlezone(s) (the original wireframe arcade game, as well as the PC incarnations) I loved them all.

Battlezone WAS fun, combining both vehicular ground combat and elements of RTS in surprisingly straight forward gameplay.

All the games that are listed are some of the worlds best games especially all the classics.

I do think u all did miss the best game in the last decade.

Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Dragon Age

I think these games are the best because of the awesome storyline behind the games. Hope u enjoyed these games as much as i did.

I SHOULD play Dragon's Age and Mass Effect... But I haven't yet.

However, in a show of good faith to the game designers and based on the trusted advice of a good friend of mine, I'm willing to to make the logical argument that "Bioware games probably appear on everyone's list of favourite games, except for a few people who not played any Bioware games yet."

We cool now.

As a really old guy, I played ( and still play) some really old games.
BattleZone has been mentioned.

Classic Tetris, and Minesweeper.

I love EA's old Hacker, and even more, Hacker2.
How much gameplay and excitement can you pack into 64K of RAM, which ain't even enough for 1 good JPG these days? With some originality, and a little tech wizardry, a lot more than you can put into this week's shooter.

You know, going back and reading all the games played I may have you all beat. I remember playing Pong. Pong, THE FIRST ever video game that at the time wowed everyone when it came out. That wonderful amazing game that had the incredible graphics of a ball (represented by a dot) and two paddles (represented as two vertical slashes) Ah yes, NOTHING can beat the awesomeness that is Pong.... until Coleco and Atari came out. But hey........... PONG!

I definitely remember Pong. My father brought that system home from Sears and things were never the same. Not on my favorites list but without Pong home gaming might still be in it's infancy today.

there is a bunch of the old games i never really got the chance to try like the indiana jones, search for atlantis or some such.

but love Return to Castle Wolfenstein, first time I tried it, i made the greath mistake(to me atleast) to think of the knife as useless as it seemed to be in the first, and tried to kill the first enemy with the little Luger, and the 8 shot or so i had(i think i used 2-3 shots on him(the doctor in the first level)and then I got overrun by 3 enemies where one of them had a machinegun, and they actually moved to try and dodge shots(i ran out of ammo, and... well lets just say it was not pretty, included lots of holes, in me, not in them, not that i had not tried some of the other rather more modern FPS-games where they too moves to try an avoid getting shot, but it was just then i sat down to play that the first time, all of that experience, with the more modern FPS-games just went out of the window with thinking of that knife as useless

I too likes the C&C/Red Alert series.

I also like games like master of Orion 2 and 3(in MoO3)there is sometimes when you start a new game you start out with one or maybe in very rare cases 2 more low level techs than the ones you usually starts with, these are told to be found on newly discovered planets in a solar system(the starting system, can also happen in other systems when you get so far) but sometimes you end up getting the first stardrive after the basic one, that all players starts with, and as luckilly as it is, I always seems to envision a scene, with the leader of the people you are playing, a millitary advisor, and the scientific advisor(a real Einstein lookalike), probably with bald patches, with red iritated skin, on his head from hair ripping, working on the first stardrive, he comes tiredly to meet with the leader, to tell that it finally succeeded in making a FTL drive, and the military advisor, arriving at the same time as the other, but letting the other speak first, to report on the tech find(the seecond gen FTL-drive)I always wonder how the science dude, that might have driven himself nearly mad to get this 1-gen FTL-drive to work, and then get told that one of three little frigates protecting the system has found a second Gen. FTL drive on one of the planets in the same system.
