What computer games do you love to play?

[OneAngryDaisy]

Anyone ever play Mechcommander? No? Try it.


but as for classics- nothing, absolutely nothing can beat civilization.. I still have it on an ancient comp in my room (600 KB drive) along with commander keen, cosmic cosmo, and x-com

oh yeah- anyone ever play x-com? The first one, that is- also one of the best games ever..

What a coincidence, I also am a huge fan of Sid Mier and his Civilization series. Wait, what a larger coincidence, we're on the same team! Wait, why am I doing this online then?

Other decent games are:
2)Age of Mythology (If you straighten out the .DLL file problem which I haven't, so its a very nice paperweight)
3)Shattered Galaxy (Former lvl.70+ overlord)
4)Any sort of mech game that isn't an arcade rip-off (Anything made before 2002)
5)Battlefield 1942 (killed a man just to watch him curse me off in the chat box)

However CIV III reigns supreme and is unchallenged in its glory.

Whoa whoa whoa- are you forgetting Civ I? Go back, play it, and tell me that Civ III is better-


gimmicks+graphics+more gimmicks= fake fun

I see your point.

thanks for the link! do you play warcraft 3 by any chance? also, what is your favorite mech class/type? i love the catapult, so cheap, and so great!

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos?
well I don't qiute play it, I kind of look at the screen and everyone besides me just lays down a dies. Hmm... I swear it, I don't know how I do it.

As for mech games:
Mechwarrior 4 is a nice stress reliever, Command and Conquer Generals is nice stress reliever when I feel like mass murder, but then again Shattered galaxy is a much better way to vent your steam. Too bad they changed all of the units and added ammo.

In the world of mechs Steel Battalion is the best,
but I wish that they could come up with a decent Gundam game, I was rather attached to the Gundam Wing TV show, now they just air that G gundam spam

There's nothing like piloting a mad cat- but i also love vultures for some reason... If you're talking about inner sphere mechs only, then I agree about the catapult

[DarkRedDragon]

its about time you guys found me!

Oooh! Racing games are cool. I like the original NFS:HP...never played the new one. It's so unrealistic that it's cool. I also like the more realistic games (like NASCAR Thunder, the Test Drive (and TD: Off-Road). Also fun. Even more fun is turning the car around and head-on everyone you can

heh, thats how I play NASCAR 2001 on ps2 . . . . .

you turn around, and hit the pack on their second lap when your all doing 180mph, they are still all bunched together . . .

Its best to come at them from an angle. Take the front car at his left front corner with your front center. I once made 12/19 other cars go into the pits (collisions are unrealistic, and you cant make them more so) after the race there is an instant replay, the ps2 chooses which higlights to show. So beutiful!

hoods, side panels, back panels, everything flying everywhere . . . the occasional car spinning at several hundred RPMS along its long axis flying past the camera . . . cars doing front flips or backflips down the track . . cars upside down and sliding at 180 mph . . . . cars on fire . . . . .

HAAAAA

Mechcommander is okay. Even the elite pilots seem to have a hard time hitting the broad side of a barn, though.

Mechs by weight (and assuming you're playing MW4: Mercenaries):

Light: Sweet, beautiful Cougar. How I can slap some Medium X-Pulse lasers on you and wreak havoc.

Medium: Shadow Cat. A few thousand players over the 'net can't be wrong.

Heavy: Nova Cat. 4 PPCs and plenty of heat sinks ensures that you will walk like a God amongst the heavies (I've won FFAs with this setup).

Assault: Fafnir is a cool 'mech, but being wider than Rosie O' Donnel's butt is generally not a good thing in Mechwarrior. Daishi and Atlas are now ancient by the game standards, so let's go back to a design that hasn't been seen since the Ghost Bear expansion pack: viva la Gladiator!

NEOPETS! #%#%#%#% you, Lord Darigan! First you won the war, then you ransack the entire kingdom?!? YOU WILL PAY THROUGH THE NOSE FOR THIS!!!

Anyone else here on neopets? My screename there is dudeguytheman. Feel free to drop me a line, and make sure you put "chiefdelphi" in the subject, or I might not even read it.

Starcraft is the best computer game as far as I'm concerned. "How do I get out of this chicken sh!! outfit?" makes me crack up every time I hear it. Nothing can stop a fleet of, oh, lets say, THIRTY SIX BATTLECRUISERS!!!

*Just a little bit eccentric*

36 Battle Cruisers? BAH! You cannot stop the mighty force of the Huntress/Archmage/Grunt/Ghoul rush!

*Just a little bit insane*

[MarkF]

You do realize, of course, that 25 Battlecruisers (You can only have that many, because the supply limit is 200, and each Cruiser takes 8 spaces) combined can inflict 3750 points of damage to any one unit. My best defense.....this was so hilarious. I built about 25 Siege Tanks and surrounded the enemy Zerg base, setting them into seige mode, but JUST out of range of fire, so they couldn't annihalate the Hatchery. A few SCV's came out and built Missile Turrets to defend the STA-bound (Surface-to-Air) Tanks. The STS-bound turrets made it impossible for the Zerg to build anything outside of their current creep colonies, and just to piss off the opposition, my armament couldn't move, basically creating an impenetrable barrier of defense. The Zerg were totally stuck. It was soooooo fun.
