Yes, I have plenty of more games to add. Eg. if I add a rough number of flashgames I played (who knew quest/achievement system of sites would come in handy?) I'm around 300. And my purse is not empty with just that.

------

Legend of Gimrock: never heard of it.

--------

Wizard of wOr, not Wiazrd of w"a"r.
It was a one-screen game, which always had some exit(s) on the side, if which you passed you came back on the other side of the screen. You could play it with someone else, and as the shots could kill the other player's characters (starting with 3, maximum 4 if I remember correctly) you could either play versus (the looser is who looses members/lives sooner, the winner shall then volunteraly die), or coop (in which case you had to pay attention to not shoot the other player, and not take the safe place on their side of the screen).
The goal was to kill all the creatures on the screen, which had 3 type: slow blue, faster yellow, and fast red which shot two shots at once.
Every once in a while (not sure if it was random or fixed) bonus round after all monster is killed, in which case two monsters could appear: a fast randomly flying butterfly, or The Wizard of Wor (I assume) who was fast, could shoot, and teleported randomly. The bonus round ended after the timer ran out (timer not shown), or a player lost a character, or the creature got killed.
The game had a set number of levels which could cycle indefinitely, and I could reach new cycle, what counts as beating the game, which otherwise had no proper ending.

----------

Shadowman:
I got a working version for Win7 from GoG. It is a ghost/horror game with HUGH levels, which worked more like Myst, but with way more puzzles and unlockables.
The game is here too, on abandonia, but I'm not sure of its integrity. Still, if you can manage to make it work, it is better to try out as a "demo" before buying it, as when I ment the game has HUGH levels I ment it. And it is NOT a Doom, aka. the action is less intense. It is more about the atmosphere, created by the visuals, background lore (given mostly ingame), and collectibles.
Also, the game does not have any ingame map, so manual drawing is necessary.

Legend of Gimrock is very good but is easier in comparison with old dungeon crawler.

Talking End of Fallout New Vegas


Yes,
i decide to stop FNV.
Why?
Because i fulfiled my tasks:
- To kill Caesar. Done.
- To kill Mr. House. Done.
After 202 hours of playing i found that this nice game is
easy game for me.

Tasks like that:
..Go to broken minibus and find compass..
Or: ..Kill 2 gekons...is a real insult for brave.

Ha ha

Anyway i strongly recommend this nice game-real gem.

Again my big thanks to wise twillight, who directed me to FNV.

thankful yoga

Proves, yoga?
- O, no, i am loyal man and player.
2 words only:
Caeser just stayed and did not resist when i started to fire. Stupid idiot.
Mr. House was very old mummy who was in special camera.
No resistance of all.
Piece of cake..

Ax, forget - level 30.
Preview?
Ask my friend twillight.
I am lazy hooligan.


..what is the next?
Duno...

You complained for no excitement. I say start with Doom 3.

Alon in the dark is mostly a puzzle-game still. I don't know arcanum of what, but you'd go MAD about Planescape Torment if you think it'll be Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale. No, it'll be reading, reading, and more reading!

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver looks a lot like Shadowman, good luckfor it if you choose that.

Please, for a little don't play Might and magic 9. I wish to go first! (I still did nothing after creating a party being busy)

Doom 3 – you know it. Peoples complained about predictability, and too much darkness, and teleports. Darkness was relieved with embedded flashlight later. Never played the game.

Alone in the dark 4 – it still puzzle/horror in style of Resident Evil (i.e. less for horror and puzzles, more for kills).

Arcanum of ...– good RPG in vein (and from authors) of Fallout and Fallout: New Vegas. Battle system is quite cripples, but it more than covers it with quest system, vast world and tons of interactions.

Planescape Torment – the best realization of pen-and-paper RPG that I know. Lot of text, lot of choices, occasional combats and totally unusual protagonist and plot in whole. My choice... but I am exactly in _this_ field of games.

Might and Magic 9 – it's not exactly M&M in terms of universe, diversity and plot. Still can be enjoyable, I suppose.

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver – metroidvania with extensive plot. I.e., gameplay is "explore level, gain a lot of knowledge by the way, find the boss, kill him and receive new cool ability that will allow you to enter next zone and also found several secrets at the old ones".

Choose yourself!

P.S. Did you try System Shock? It's semi-shooter/semi-puzzle/RPG at the space station with huge levels and several puzzles. Can be tuned to be less puzzled (or less action) or go just opposite. Highly recommended.

Grazie, Caro Capo for recommendation of Planescape..
I will only note that a friend of mine told me that this game
is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long and terrrrrrrrrible hard. True?
..
About FNV:
You are abs. right.
But i landed the Fort with :
1. My flying robot Ed-3
2. My helper - Lady Kess
3. Ranger from NCR
and eliminated all guards of Caesar then i entered his tent.
Again battle....
He, Caesar stayed without speaking together
with bad Benny, tied to his knees.
After short conversation i killed Caesar then Benny.
Yes, it is not morality to kill tied man at his knees
but You remember bad things he Benny did with me.
...
Yes, Mr. House was guarded by many security robots second generation but:
- I used Ct boy option to became unseen for first robot. The wall opened by PC. Another 3-4 robots were guarding door to Control room with his boss.
They saw me and started firing. But i was very fast and in advance used some potion for defence.
I checked my HP after entered Control room.
280 from max of 330 HP.
50 HP loosed from robots guns.
For my task was enough even 1 HP.
Do not forget that brave had about 70 stimulators, every one = 60 HP.
Moreover MR. House was very old mummy with no any defence device, amigo.
No, the game is too easy for Winner of Chaos aka brave yoga.

For You?
