I don't know if these were for PC, but on Sega a really good game was Desert Strike.

Was this the chopper game followed by Jungle and Urban strike, if that was their name. Remember playing this on my old SNES, well the desert one anyway.

My lil bro come to me this afternoon handing over "CyberStorm 2 : Corporate Wars"

It's kinda brings back memories when simulation games were a hit those days. I recall "Earth Siege", Earth Siege 2 as the clone of Mech Warrior 2

Too bad Interplay changed the game play into sometihng like Warhammer 4k when they released 'Cyberstorm" and "CyberStorm 2"

Ehh- was that ever a popular game

Only thing popular about this one was that phrase wich seems to have a life of its own.

I still have the entire Wing Commander series, and they're still great games. Unfortunately they run a touch too quick on an Athlon 1200.

EA ... gauranteed to ruin any gaming franchise.

more game titles by EA to support that.

Anyone else remember Leisure Suit Larry? I think there were 6 in that series.

For some reason you don't strike me as a fan of the low brow Leisure Suit Larry series, perhaps you made a typo

5 Leisure Suit Larrys, #4 was skipped (don't ask me). PC Gamer reports that Sierra is considering reopening it's franchises, including King's Quest and Leisure Suit Larry.

I remember a game on the C64 that I used to play lots, but could never beat (and I don't know of anyone who did) - I think it was called 'Imposible Mission'. You where a secret agent and had to go around collecting pieces of a map/document? that you had to try to fit together. What happened after you found them all is anyones guess. I never could - you where on a time limit and there was no way to save games.

And the old 'Spider Man' game. Where you were old web head and had to fight your way through a building filled with all of spidies enemies and other things. I think you had to try to rescue his red headed wench (what ever her name was). Never go very far in that either.

I've heard so much about LSL, but never actually played it before.

The first X-com(UFO) was a reall cool game! You went round killing aliens! I don't like the others much(Never played them) Catch?Doesn't work on a 32 fat computer

Then theres lemmings, brillient.But I never completed it...shame they were coooool

X-com rocked! It was the only computer game I have ever played that scared the sh*t out of me. The suspense when you explored downed spacecraft was great and the squad based strategy was intense.

I'm not sure what you mean about the game not playing with FAT 32 - I have the "classic" edition and it works with Windows 98 and a boot disk

X-com was great, I loved that game. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on Win2k or XP at all.

@Mr Sleep, couldn't stand LSL. Space Quest was fun though.

Does anyone remember "Z" it's funny and addictive. I love to play it also the unit comments are hillarious. In the end of the game it says it has a continuance but sadly I never heard any of it
