Huh, this makes no sense, perhaps it should work like this: Everyone lists 5 of their favourite games, and you update your first post with the results on a weekly basis, or something like that.
Anyways....the 5 best games...hm...hard question, but let's see:

- Master of Magic
- Dwarf Fortress [what a surprise!  ]
- Call of Duty 1.
- Temple of Elemental Evil [with the community mod of course]
- Age of Wonders 2. - Shadow Magic

I still think wolfenstein 3d is more important than doom  It was there first, and it started the whole hype.

Anyway, Sim City is pretty important.
So was Lemmings.
I think Stunt Island is pretty cool and unique, it definetly deserves a spot, even if it probably didnt sell that many copies.
STUNTS! (or 4-d race driving or whatever, same game)
oh and of course "alone in the dark".

there is a lot more, like early lucas arts adventures and whatnot. but i sincerely think dumbing down those lists to any platform makes those useless lists even more useless. since there are no clear borders, it was always more a question of "generation" if you will, more than platform.

I say, toss em all together in one big pot.

Arcade, Home Computers, Consoles. It doesnt really matter, a CPU is a CPU. Blinkin pixels are blinkin pixels.

Yeah I know it's a sloppy way, but i couldn't really be bothered tallying. If someone can be bothered it's probably best to make a new thread, as this one's already biased in that I said not to list the same game twice.

I must be from your generation puck, I could've listed those games as well. Yeah someone will probably make a better thread than this.

[Puck]

I've been around since pong 

[codezero]

Well I haven't been around that long perhaps, but still old for this forum. I say doom 'cause although wolf3d started it, doom2 finished it IMO, I'd still play doom2 level1 deathmatch over any of this halo battlefield quake crap.

[Puck]

But WHY doom over wolfenstein? If you say "true" 3d I have to say "Descent" 

[Soulwynd]

Mine will have repeats, I can't let them out of -my- list.

X-com 1
X-com 2
X-com 3
Daggerfall
DF

[Hawkfrost]

Age of Empires 2
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Diablo 2
Spelunky
Majesty

I personally play more RPG's and RTS's than anything else.

Yup, no Deus Ex. Hammer and Sickle dethroned it.

[Granite26]

So what about the people who failed to name unique titles?  Is reading comprehension a prerequisite for participation?

Can we maybe add a hall of shame list?
