"My ambition is handicapped by laziness" - Charles Bukowski

my favourite games of the old days are Hexen, Hexen II, Heretic, Heretic II, Unreal and Unreal II and sometimes i still play one of those games

ahh, MAX. awesome game - would never work with my sound card tho!

Colin Mcrae 2... legend - i used to have a time on the fastest ever timesheet for one stage somewhere - finland stage 3 i think

I'm playing Civ 4 at the moment... just had a PC upgrade, so my graphics card doesn't overheat when playing it any more!

i hope you dont mind if i consider doom I/II the best of all times
somewhere I must still have the huge collection of levels I made when discovered some of the editors. :D

-------------------------------

No Unreal Tournament, GPL, Championship/Football Manager, Worms 2/Armageddon, Theme Park, Theme Hospital (which is still epic now), Virtual Pool, Mario Kart?

Warcraft 2 is still good and I still play Theme Hospital once in a while. Bloaty Head still rocks. :D

A great game is one which still gets played a decade later or set the stage for predecessors. I think it's fair to say everyone of those above fall into either or both of those categories.

Theme Hospital sounds good, with the Bloaty Head and Heaped Piles....looks like you can download it too, maybe when I get bored lol

You forgot the classic Monkey Island adventures

Monkey island 2 special edition was released yesterday by Lucasarts after being bought bang upto date visually

Awesome adventure games which raised the bar beyond measure




LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

I'd replace Tekken with Virtua Fighter :P. I remember Full Throttle was a massive hit in 1994, and the Dark Forces games
