Actually STFM, Max Payne came out before PoP...I believe...

And TheChosen, Duke Nukem 64 wasn't horrible...it was just mediocre...crappy save system, censorship, washed-out graphics, no auto-aim, censorship, passable multiplayer...censorship.

Censorship? Yes, but so what! Its a frikking shooting game, not a porn game!
Crappy save system? Aye, but you can always use cheats.
No auto-aim? Who needs auto-aim??
Washed-out graphics? I dont think so.
Passable multiplayer? Right, whatever.

In no particular order:

Ultima Underworld The Stygian Abyss: It was the first 1st person I played that was more than decent. Add the exporing the unknown bit, magic (some of it pretty neat), exellent atmosphere and sounds, and that game is a timeless gem.

TIE Fighter: A space sim with a plot! How about that, eh! Hot graphics (seriously), wingmen for you to command (the first I played with that feature). Beside, it's STAR WARS and you get to play the other side. :brain:

Le Mans (C64): A real arcade hall fiesta. Nothing more and nothing less. Just because I'm sentimental

Hitman CN 47: Taking out 3-4 guys with a single head shot makes this game a blast. And I really like the concept of sneaking rather than all out assault. Of course, the graphics were the best I had seen at that time.

Panzer General 2: It adressed some issues with the 1st, and with leaders' abilities it is a really fun strategy game to play. When you find and exploit the errors/bugs/glitches it's a downright riot.

Sudden Strike: RTS where you can give orders in pause mode. No reason except it's great fun to play. I usually go nerdy with this game and collect artillery pieces just to see how much the enemy can take of his own scrap metal.

Steel Panthers MBT ->: A strategy game that is just about nerdy/complex enough for me. It's fairly challenging and one of the few strategy games where I have to plan the next 3 rounds constantly: Usually with other TBS games I just go trigger happy and see what happens.

Frontier First Encounter: The freedom....... Ah!

Fort Apocalypse (C64): Another arcade hall kind of game that is rather addictive in it's simpleness.

Daggerfall: Freedom to chose. BIG TIME! Really neat magic and some pretty heavy duty dungeons.

Worth mentioning:

Morrowind. Not as great as DF, but much more fun magic, some of them custom combos are just awesome. AND you get to create your own magical equipment. Mucho important.

Baldur's Gate: To me, this is THE classic RPG. The simple rules, the great story/plot, the locations... the tactical bit.... Just an awesome game

I've always wondered about that "Tie Fighter"...it looked fun enough on TV.

TheChosen:

washed out graphics? I don't think so.

Umm, are you entirely sure you have normal eyesight? If you compare the versions side-by-side, the PC version kicks the living crap out of the 64 version, in the latter you can barely read signs and stuff on the wall...

And about it not being a porn game, well that wasn't really what I was getting at, I was more reffering to Duke's quotes (you know, the ones that actually sold the game), and the level design...Duke Burger on the second level? Excuse me? I thought I wouldn't be seeing Duke's face on a fast-food chain until the fourth chapter...

However I will give the 64 credit where credit is due:

-Multiplayer is fun by yourself for a while, as the levels are huge, but with a friend, not so much...
-I like dual SMGs better than the Chain Cannon
-Two words: Plasma Gun.
-The voice acting's a bit better...but I still say he doesn't swear enough and therefore must be a clone of Duke.
-You can kick carcasses until they disentigrate, coaxing Duke to say something cool.
-The pistol looks better
-It has a Grenade Laucher...mmm, grenade launcher...*drools*
-The explosions are exponentially bigger.

There ya go, if you put both of my tallies together, it'll sound unbiased!

I win! :brain:

Just my opinion, but I think Daggerfall is an overrated buggy hash.

Never heard of it...

Ok, so it is buggy. But you'll see people that are ugly, repulsive, revolting or downright disturbingly awful still get married LOL . See my point?

Ahaha, yea, there is certain point at which you don't care for bugs the game might have. Buggerfall was full of bugs but my patience saved the day. I still keep it in my collection, although I doubt I'll want to go through that hell again. :-)

[Vendermarch]

OK just for the record: I value story in games (in newer ones that is) the most. Second comes the gameplay and other. So my top ten would be:

1: Baldur's Gate 2 + Throne of Bhaal
2: Baldurs Gate 1
3: Metal Gear Solid 3
4: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
5: UFO: Enemy Unknown
6: Fallout 2
7: Fallout 1
8: GTA: San Andreas
9: Theme Park
10: Metal Gear Solid

Yeah, but this is a video game, it's not going to get married to something, besides, it was utterly devoid of personality, after you play it for awhile, the randomization really gets to you after you realize that despite the geography, everything is the same.

Funny how popular Halo is...yet I haven't even seen an honorable mention for it yet...
