I'm replaying some games I either never finished or don't remember too well. Daggerfall and Albion

I should see if Rama will run on this comp but I'm getting anxious for the new games coming out

I also play logic games on the comp. Versions of the Mah Johngg solitaire game, Descarte's Enigma, and Sherlock.

Medal of Honour: Allied assualt Multiplayer: Amusing myself by storming Omaha beach in 64 player servers, then chucking grenades into the machine bunkers and hearing the german players yell "Grenade! Grenade!". For some reason, that never gets tiring.

Jedi Knight 2: Outcast: Apparently the lightsaber isn't as fun as the little taser thing you get to play with

NHL 2002: Perfect season, 40/0/0 so far.

Civ 3, have just finished my conquest or Africa, Asia, and Europe, with the desrtuction of the last civ, the Japanese. Now, on to the New world.

BG2, currently in ToB, only one more bhaalspawn to contend with, then a solo game.

NFL 2k2 for Dreamcast, NFL draft reignited my interest, and I am currently playoff bound. 11-0 baby!!

Shogun Total War, and

Axis and Allies.

Dark Age of Camelot is all I'm playing these days.

Going to purge N.Y of junkies and dealers in Max Payne.

Playing a David Vs Goliath scenario in Civ 3. Smallest and weakest country (me) taking on the big guns. Stale mate so far...

Forgot about Alpha Centauri. Still have it on, just haven't played it in a while. When I get a game going, it's all-consuming.

I played old games lately, due the PC OS unstability and severe probs on budgeting side

Here's some of them : Mech Commander 2, Mech Warrior 3 + expansion, Mechwarriror 4 + expansion, RA 2 + expansion, SimCity 3K

I still play Diablo 2 with a friend. When my niece visits we play Perfect Dark on the N64. Progress Quest I play often though.

@Tamerlane: How is Max Payne?

@Fable: How did you get a copy of Morrowwind? Sacrifice is a cool game--very underrated. It's not a true RPG, but the graphics are really amazing, and it's fun to play. I was happy when the developers of Sacrifice were given The Matrix to develop. All of you bored SYMers would do well to invest in a copy of it.

Now I feel like playing Fallout again, since talking about it with Viv. I've played through BG too many times..........

I actually turned down a late beta copy of Morrowind from the developers because I didn't have a venue for a review. Yes, ethics still matter to some idiots, and I guess I'll need an operation to remove 'em.

Then, I acquired said venue, and immediately requested preview code so I could familiarize myself with the environment and start doing "diaries," which I plan to include in my final review. I'm not reviewing the preview build, however. That would be very unfair, IMO.

Sacrifice is a neat game. I always pause it to enter commands, treating the thing like BG2. Fast-paced action games aren't my thing. Funny thing is, the pause ability was intended only as a developer's command. They actually sneered when they heard people had discovered it (well, it was sneaked out of the company). Then somebody discovered that the developers had been playing Sacrifice for so long that they'd completely surmounted the very high learning curve in realtime, but that normal human beings with real lives performed not to spend twenty hours or more losing a game before becoming familiar with its command system...and suddenly the developers were promoting the pause key combination as an alternative method of play.

I loved Sacrifice! Ambassador Buta ruled!

I've found that a lot of Interplay games are neglected (Sacrifice, Giants: Citizen Kabuto are two examples) and thats a real shame because a lot of talent went into those...

PS, whats your favourite death spell? Mine has to be the Killer Cow...

Max Payne really manage to capture the feeling of you favourite Hongkong blood opera, and it looks very neat. Unfortunatly the fun disapears rather quick imo, and the later levels ruin all atmosphere in the earlier ones.

Nightmare · Post by **Nightmare** » Sat Apr 20, 2002 10:25 am

Game's I'm playing:

BG2- What else?
Diablo 2- whenever I'm bored (haven't finished it, in Act 3)
Starcraft- Finally got it. Finishing Terran campaign.

CIV 3: My Egyptains have taken everybody out and knocked others down to three or four cities and I'm just waiting to max out my score at around 7000, and then go off to Alpha Centauri.

Max Payne is, IMO, the best shooter out there.
But, unfortunatly for me, I get very claustrefobic (SP) when playing a 3D game in a dark setting. For example, I saw a freind of mine play Metal of honor on the PS, and I was sweating and feeling nausious the whole time.
For me, Rogue Spear will always be the all around best shooter, and the best game based on a book out there.

@Gaxx
