| The first Fallout, Diablo, System Shock 2 and Deus Ex would be a good start, I guess. It's hard to do more influential, and the latest games in the series (or series inspired by it in System Shock 2's case: Bioshock and Dead Space) are complete crap. I'm never buying a Blizzard game ever again after the turd that was Diablo III >.> |

Ixa98 said: Max Payne 1 and 2? xd Thanks, I have bought them a while ago but I need to find a fps fix again to be able to play them on Windows 10. Great games though. Rakhil said: GTA games,S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, Dead Space 1&2, Half Life series I've played all 3 Dead Spaces, GTA San Andreas and IV, Half Life 2. I tried Stalker games but they were a little hard to get into. Going to check out Vice City and the original Half Life, those might be fun. Shoryuuken said: The longest journey and dreamfall the longest journey. <3 Thanks, I'll check them out when I feel like point-and-clicking. Raccoon_Citizen said: Oni: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjLDztxYlQ4 Shogo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdNHewptTzM (I picked random videos btw) Cool, both of them look cool.

It's one of the best PC games ever made. Thanks, I do love pixel styled games, so I'm glad to see these. I've played through the first Dukem Nukem and liked it. Checked out Scorched Earth, it actually looks kinda' cool, so I might check it out in the future. krustyK said: Dungeon Keeper is definitely up there. Populous, is also a golden oldie. Black & White and also Theme Hospital. These were my faves. Not a huge fan of building games, but I've played a little bit of Black & White and liked it. I might look into them in due time.

| @NarDev I dun wanna insist if it's not your thing, but wich games did you try in the Fallout and Deus Ex franchises? I played them all and they're all crap except the first ones IMO (Fallout 2 is hmkay, but can't beat the story-telling of the first, and breaks the universe established by its predecessor in many occasions) Bethesda especially should be sued for what they did with the Fallout license >.>. Couldn't get much into the latest Deus ex games, I miss 1/ the awesome story 2/ being a transhuman OP warmachine who can jump from a 6 story-tall building while in optical camo to beat huge robots to death with a stun baton. |

| The two first Fallout were isometric 3d RPGs, completely different games than the recent ones. Fallout 3 is just a rehash of The Elder's Scrolls formula (literally the only kind of game Bethesda knows how to make: empty, huge open worlds with horrible gameplay and no soul/atmosphere). The awful engine just couldn't handle god damn 1st person gameplay, and everything else had the Bethesda stamp all over it: fake or dumb choices, filler quests, stupid useless loot in every crate to distract the player. "Please autodestruct, Enclave supercomputer" [Speech: 100] Yeah, that's a great and deep RPG, Bethesda. *claps slowly* |

| Grand Theft Auto 3 Grand Theft Auto Vice City Call of Duty Modern Warfare (One of the best call of duty games) |
| The quake and unreal games are very good and they still have active communities. Thief is great stealth game, utilising better stealth mechanics than its competitor (mgs). Fallout 1 and 2 are the best games in the series, great immersive experience. Diablo II is amazing with friends. KOTOR is the best star wars game ever made with battlefront II coming second and jedi academy third, all of them are better experienced on PC. The DnD baldur's gate games are the pinnacle of the traditional CRPG. You said you don't like strategy games but I'll leave the first four sim city games here since they tend to attract a larger playerbase than an average strategy games. Warning: None of these games is optimized for use with modern resolutions. You may need to download mods or run them at 480p or 800x600 to get proper picture. There may be some compatibility issues with modern windows NT. PC games released before 2000 may need DOS emulation to run. Some windows games released then may not need it. Ask on GOG forums or consult the PCgaming wiki and the DOSbox wiki for more information on old games. |

| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| As a diehard Half-Life fan, I can't pass through here and not say, ofc, original Half-Life, and its two expansions: Opposing Force and Blue Shift, both amazing. In sales, you can find them by 99 cents and OF / BS by 79, I think. Also, Thief: The Dark Project, one of the firsts if not the first game that introduce the light and sound mechanics in stealth games. Duke Nukem 3D is great, and so is Doom. Fallout 1 and 2 are great experiences to enter in the turn based RPG that ruled the 90s. The ambientation of those games still manages to give me shivers today. Unreal is the forgotten game by the community. It was one of the first that introduced a history before HL. Not saying that Doom / Duke Nukem didn't have story, but they were resumed into running through the levels as fast as possible, killing the much mf better. Unreal (not Tournament) tells the story of a soldier that survived a massacre in a space ship. Is great, though. Quake is one of the most beloved shooter games ever. Its quick action remembers too much of Doom and it feels great even today. Quake II is the same but better imo. S.T.A.L.K.E.R Fall of Prypiat is a great game too, but difficult as fuck. It also gave me some scarejumps the first time I played it. |

| @NarDev I'd suggest to avoid the first STALKER game (Shadow of Chernobyl) ss it is... kinda poorly balanced, debugged, and not very fun to play. The second one (Clear Sky) was a vast improvement. Can't say anything about Call of Prypiat as I never played that one. You know you're a old fuck when you consider the first Stalker a modern game (^% |

You know you're a old fuck when you consider the first Stalker a modern game (^% Well, its technically a modern game. Its only 10 years (I think 2007?). To me, its half my life, so I'd call it 'old'. Like Fallout 3, that has 10 years now. Shadows of Chernobyl is full of bugs and gamebreaking experiences, but its unique gameplay and ambientation are great. That's why I suggested Call of Prypiat. For me, its the best, comparing it to Shadows and Clear Sky (which is great too). Its a shame I forgot about 2005's GOTY F.E.A.R. An amazing gameplay with terrifying story (in the good way, ofc), with awesome mechanics. |
| I wanted to say Battle Realms, but strategy games are off-limits, haha. Seriously, most of my games on PC are strategy-related, so i might have a hard time thinking off one. Anyway, Zoo Tycoon is a good old game and always enjoyed the game, even to this day, and reinstalled it every now and then, if i had the time. |
| It's time to play the Game folks! |
| Quake Unreal Dungeon Keeper Doom Wolfenstein Diablo Myst |

| I've always enjoyed the wizardry series, 7 and 8 are aren't too old that they're hard to play now. I tried replaying 6 a couple years ago and I just couldn't get into it again. It's been too long. :( Neverwinter Nights, the first or the second, they both still hold up fairly well. Might and Magic 7, I replayed about 8 months ago and it still tickles my fancy. As others have said Baldur's gate, and icewind dale of course; any of those old crpgs. |

Most of us played Super Mario Bros, Snake or Spelunky. There was one computer that had Warcraft 3 and we would compete to get the privilege to play it. Good ol' times. |
