15. Liked Doom 1? Ever play ROT?

Rise of the Triad was a kind of doom/quake wannabe. It was pretty good, too.

[AngryAmish]

16. Nope

I'm not a hard core gamer (I buy about 2 titles a year). Right now I have an old computer so I can't play a lot of games.

I bought a PS2 because I had to get a DVD player and I thought it was worth the money. Now I wish I got a Gamecube.

My Christmas present to myself will be a computer hot enough to play Doom3 (and Doom3). I am going to wait until after Christmas for the returns/discounts. Or at least that is my strategery.

23. Pool of Radiance (1988)

This was on an old Apple clone (Laser 111) we are talking floppy disks here.


The plot
The plot is simple. Phlan, a city on the north central border of Moonsea in the Forgotten Realms game setting has ben under the influence of a dragon named Tyranthraxus. Two years prior to the start of the game, a group of adventurers and descendents of the old town council established a small beachhead around the old city docks. They established a new city council based upon the old one and they send a call out to adventurers to come to the city to seek their fortune in rebuilding Phlan by driving out the denizens of evil.

The city clerk assigns quests where you reclaim parts of the city inhabited by groups of evil characters, including kobalds, thieves, orcs, hobgoblins, undead, lizardmen and others. Other quests will take you out of the city to reclaim a wizards keep up river that is dumping sludge and fouling the river, a den of kobalds, a tribe of lizardmen, a camp of pirates, and even an assault on the evil inhabitants of Zentil Keep to the west of Phlan. Each section of the city that is reclaimed and cleared of monsters takes you closer to the central evil itself the Pool of Radiance and the ancient dragon Tyranthraxus.

You will spend time liberating the Temple of Tyr taken over by and desicrated by the Priests of Bane, Valhingen graveyard, Podal Plaza, The great Library of Mendor, The Elven Sokal Keep, Valjevo Castle, and other areas. The plot is colorful and filled with extensive details of the history of Phlan which extends back several thousand years, dripping with interesting anecdotes.

30. Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Dranor is good, too!

[phillybri]

25. Tecmo Bowl (the original)

Bo Jackson was a friggin' machine!!!

[Downtown Hound]

27. Tough to pick the best one, but here's some good ones

Silent Hill series (the best, scariest, and most sophisticated storyline I've ever encountered in a video game. Can't wait for the fourth one to come out)

Resident Evil series
Metroid in it's many incantations
Super Mario Brothers
Castlevania
Sword of Vermillion

and Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man. Even though these games are old they still rock. They're from the days when game play rather than graphics mattered and they are a total adrenaline rush.

[LanternWaste]

28. Baldur's Gate II

Baldur's Gate II...

It let me re-live the days of being a teenage Dungeons and Dragons geek and no-one even had to know about it! Guilty, legal (albeit immature :) ) pleasure in the comfort of my own den.

David Warner now has my vote for being the best "bad guy"!

[Guy Fawkes]

31. I'm going to reinstall that now... I've only beaten it.... twice.

Time to try a new class, though. Maybe a monk...

[HughBeaumont]

29. TEMPEST!!

others:

Smash TV
Dig Dug
Robotron 2084
Cloak & Dagger
Time Pilot
Crystal Castles
Gyruss
