    Much better than Starlancer, but not as good as either the X-wing or Wing Commander games (it tries too hard to be both.)

    [​IMG] As I am a packrat/lvl builder, the two that really floated my boat were.....

    Daiblo/Hellfire & Darkstone

    Not popular, I admit, but somehow they really worked for me

    Best games:
    1. Baldurs Gate I & II
    2. Planescape: Torment
    3. Deus Ex
    4. Starcraft
    5. Diablo II

    Biggest dissapointments:
    1. Anarchy Online (confusing, not enough people)
    2. Neverwinter Nights (cool toolset, no real campaign)
    3. The elder scrolls: Morrowind (Huge world, but I hate walking around doing nothing. Training is boring)
    4. Heroes IV (Unbalanced teams)
    5. Icewind Dale II (bad story, no personality)

    Transport Tycoon! Neat!
    The one I know:
    Big map with villages, cities, farms, oil wells etc etc. You need to transport (really?) the people and the good/materials from one place to an other by train, plane, ship, truck, bus, monorail etc. in a most efficient way.
    I loved it!

    Caesar III would be on my list, too.

    Btw: Can someone tell/pm me what Jagged Alliance is like. I heared that name several times and I'm interested...

    MoN, since Jagged Alliance 2 is on my list, I can describe it to you. It is a turn based squad level combat simulation (with a decent story about liberating an island nation) that contains RPG elements. It plays a lot like the original X-COM, except with real, modern weaponry. It is very deep, very replayable, and somewhat difficult. I whole heartedly recommend it to anyone.
    My list (in no particular order):
    Ultima 6
    Ultima 7
    BG1, BG2
    PST
    Jagged Alliance 2
    X-COM
    Civilization series
    Railroad Tycoon Series
    Daggerfall
    Ultima Underworld
    Empire (yes the original)
    Fallout 1 & 2

    I could probably list more (I have been playing PC games for 20 years) but that's it for now

    [​IMG] Jagged Alliance 2 is most like the Fallout series but with more action and less RPG.Lots of save and load as I remember... Was a cool game indeed.Only thing i didn't like was that normally everybody dies with 2-3 shots and is not such a mele like Fallout.I mean rifle shots.With bazooka or something heavier - no chance of surviving with even one shot....

    [​IMG] The original Baldur's Gate. Even now it is still my favorite game of all time. I think it is the only PERFECT game I have played or ever will play. There is absolutely nothing I didn't like about the game!
