256 players! Holy shit. How bad would the lag be with that many players?

The lag is usually fine but goes nuts when you're playing on a Euro/Asian/Aus server (from US).

It's all handled server side. It's not like the game's being hosted on a residential user's machine :D
Even if it isn't, that's a lot of objects and stuff to track all at once.

Suikoden II. I harp on about it on the Wrestlecrap boards but it's truly one of the greatest RPG's of all time. Now, if only Konami re-released it as a digital download or with the PSP release outside of Japan.

Kotor, Battlefront 2 and AoE 2. Fallout 3 is also close, so is Total War.

The Marathon series are some of the best games I've ever played.  Good gameplay, terrific storyline, good (for the time) graphics, challenging enemies, interesting levels.  Great stuff.  Really wish Bungie would have done more with that, instead of all the Halo stuff.

I also thoroughly enjoyed Clive Barker's Undying.

MechWarrior II was great as well...  Some of the newer MechWarrior games are good, too, but they don't have marauders anymore.

Yes. It was great fun, except when I played it I was just a stupid child who knew nothing, so I never really got anywhere.

Uniracers
Best game ever

Planescape:Torment
also best game ever. The actual gaming is so-so, but the storytelling is so good it make up for it.

Alpha-Centauri
Why did such a ground breaking game never got any decent clone.

Max Payne
Pure fun, good story telling too

Certainly one of my favorites was Luigi's Mansion, pity it was so short.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Alpha-Centauri a highly modified Civ clone to begin with?

MekTek?

<a few minutes of Googleing elapse>

Mauraders!  For MW4!  Holy shit!  Where'd I put my discs?!

(Granted, it's the fugly Inner Sphere Marauder II...  Not the classic Marauder, or the sleek Marauder IIc...  But, it's a Maurader none the less!)

If you can't find your disks, you can just download the game straight from them for free. (I think still?)

Yeah its free to download. Though I have no idea if they fixed their downloader yet. You can always use bittorrent client if MTX won't work for you.

Holy shit, blast from the past. I do remember it too, it was actually pretty decent. At least as a little kid who didn't know what the hell he was doing.

Let's see...
Disgaea series
Mana Khemia series
Morrowind is decent even though I can't get myself to sit down and play it for some reason
DF (same story)
Cave Story

There's probably some more, but I'll stop here. My lists of favorites tend to be hard to pin down. :P
