no way, warlords etc were around before that. mighty awesome rts tho.

RPG: baldurs gate 2 for SP, NWN for MP
FPS: maybe doom2 for SP, Return to castle wolfenstein for MP (Enemy Territory not far behind)
RTS/FPS: Savage & NS
RTS: Red Alert 1
MMO: maybe EQ2? seemed to like it more than WoW....

RTS
 Command and Conquer the original, then the original red alert, also C&C Retialiation for PS1 awsome fun playing linked till the they overheated after 4 hours.

FPS
 BF1942 modded to DC.
 Shadow Warrior this game was awsome.
 Original UT <- How could people not mention this?????
 Original Quake, 16 player multigames at highschool, oh the fun.

Racing
 Toca Touring cars 1 & 2
 Need for Speed < the original old ones that actually involve police.

Morrowinds not bad, just to plain for me.
Also Et's ok but slightly boring after a while.


The reason we dont see games like this now, is the cost of producing games, its in the millions and so the companys arent prepared to take such a huge risk, which is why we are seeing a lot of sequels at the moment.

But we are seeing some changes, eg EA's new NFS Most Wanted has finally got police back in it and looks like its going to be an awsome game.

UT and its sequels are awesome games but its background isnt well put together. Its made to be the best MP game rather than the best SP game, thats probably why noone has mentioned it.

Man that game was *so* old. I remember playing it when it first came out. It was *awesome*. Then I played it again in 1995 and its controls were clunky, it was slow and it just wasnt user friendly. Considering the amount of time and effort I put into finishing that game too!

I think it was the precurser. There were a few other games that contained real-time strategy ELEMENTS, but none contained the construction/control system that has now become the standard point and click RTS format

Ornithopters were never a problem for me since I played Atreides. Death Hands were the killers, but....man House Ordos sucked. If you havent tried Dune 2000, give it a go. Brings back memories without the clunky controls

Oh and for anyone who doesnt know, clunky controls are this: No multiple unit selection, no shortcut keys, no keyboard controls at all, an idiot AI and a limited number of TOTAL units. That is if all three houses + Imperial army was playing and there was an 100 unit limit AND the computer has 80 units including buildings, you couldnt build

ive played Dune2 in the last 12 months....abandonwarez are cool.

golden axe was the shit but what really got me hooked on computers would have been  Commadore64 games Commando, Montizumas Revenge or Gauntlet.
The Kings Quest and Space Quest serious was also good....ooooo and Police Quest was wiked

Best fps ever Action Quake 2, i miss the hell out of that and hated CS for stealing players.  First lan i went to was because of Aq2.

Theres too many opinions on the best game, i dont think there is one.

you may as well pick a variety.

I think half life got the most votes however, but i could be wrong. Counting these nominations is like counting the stars

You're missing the point
It's not to find the best game there is no such thing, find me the pefect snowflake
The point it to discuss great games and what made them great

Storyline and character attachment, games that make you forget that you actually sitting in front of a PC are the best
