Yay, I remember Battle Chess! That was one of the first PC games I ever played. I had no actual interest in chess, I just loved to see the battle animations whenever one piece 'took' another. The Queen was my favourite: "Damn, I broke a fingernail!"

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

QUOTE
Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.

Dark Legions was like chess...

Except when you captured a piece, you HAD TO BATTLE IT!

It had demons and vampies and all sorts of cool ass shit on it.

Man, that game rocked.

Here's the best shot i can possibly... shoot:
I am including console and arcade games too, so nyah.

(of course these are in no particular order)
(all titles are subject to change as i gradually regain my memories from when i actually used to play PC games, or if i just plain come to my senses about certain things in my life)

- Final Fantasy vii
- final fantasy 1
- final fantasy tactics
- Mega man 2
- mega man 3
- TMNT 2
- time crisis 2 or Crisis Zone, i can't figure out which is superior
- Robot Alchemic Drive
- Space Quest 3 (even though i like them all from 2-5... 1 is automatically disqualified cuz i only played the remake)
- Bushido Blade 2
- Resident Evil series (particularily the PSone releases)
- Life and Death 2: the Brain
- Marshmellow Duel
- Silent Hill series
- Metal Slug Series
- Puyo Puyo 1 and 2 (for genesis)
- Sonic the Hedgehog series (for genesis)
- Mario 2
- Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight (boring as sin now, but it provided MANY days of exntertainment)
- Half-Life (the games in Info tech and comm12 alone were enough to put this on the list)
- i don't know
- Double Dragon 1 + 2
- Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing ("Pansy! Momma's Boy!!")
- Donkey King Jr. (for Colecovision)
- Castle Excellent

Such a pitiful lack of true classics dating farther back.

I haven't got the time to make a list of my own yet, so instead, I have a list of games aforementioned that I have thought "Dude! Someone else has actually heard of it! Sweet!"
  • One Must Fall (still got that somewhere)
  • Crystal Caves (was playing it the night my little brother battered his way into existance)
  • That's it.

I remember One Must Fall 2097. I finished it with all the characters, which is rare for me in a fighting game.

I don't have my own list, and a lot of my favourites have already been mentioned, but I would like to add two more.

The Baldur's Gate series was great, and Planescape: Torment is an aboslute work of art.
The Green Knight, SimeSublime the Puffinesque, liker of chips and hunter of gnomes.
JM's official press secretary, scientific advisor, diplomat and apparent antagonist?

Yeah, I'm replaying Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn at the moment, and plan to get on to Planescape: Torment when I can get the last disk off of a friend. I'll beat the damn thing yet.
