What computer games do you play?

Kyrolin Zenyar · April 15, 2011, 12:25:54 PM

More specifically, give your top 5 favorite single-player computer games.

I'll start with (in no particular order):
1. Silent hunter 1. (Yeah, I'm a dinosaur, as you'll see in the other games)
2. Zork
3. Prisoner of War
4. Age of Empires
5. Any Sid Meier game

Single player huh? If we're building an all-time list...

1) Red Baron /II/3D
2) Dungeon Keeper I/II
3) Half Life 2/Ep.1/Ep.2
4) Total War Shogun/Rome/Medieval II/Shogun II
5) Football-O-Saurus (http://www.windowsgames.co.uk/football.html) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id9TgycMS-0)

---

5 is not a joke either. I have 117 seasons invested with 21 D1 trophies, 7 D2 trophies, 1 D3 trophy, and 1 D4 trophy.

I get so into it that the girlfriend has to tell me to turn it off because I start yelling at the stupid dinosaurs without even realizing I'm doing it.

Many, many, MANY expletives have been dropped on this game.

Portal
Zoo Tycoon

And if RWL counts, that too.

Err, computer?

Definetly mass effect and possibly dragon age, although I own them on the xbox. Halo started out on computer, and that has single player, so yeah. Erm, both knights of the old republic. Jade Empire. Oblivion. Portal. Age of empires. I couldn't really make a definite list.

Are you a mid-to-late 90's kid by chance, Firetooth?

1. Halo: Combat Evolved
2. Age of Empires/ AOE II / AOE III
3. Assassin's Creed II PC
4. Halo 2 for PC (yeah it sucked)
5. Various games on emulators if that counts lol

Well, born mid 1990's, but I like a lot of 90's and pre 90's stuff (by pre-90's, I don't mean video games haha, unless pong and pacman counts). I agree with you that half life and total war are pretty sweet. I'm mainly into RPG's though. Not many RPG gamers in my age range, lol.

Empire Earth is good, but could have been a lot better in my opinion. I have it lying around by my old PC.

Favourites? Zelda, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Minecraft.. there's probably more but I can't think of any now.
Jesus christ, Minecraft. I have no idea what it is that is so addictive about this game, all I know is that I literally can't stop. I'm going to build a sweet castle and nothing can stop me!

I still love old-school Nintendo... can't quite bring myself to ebay my special Pokemon N64 even though I desperately need the money..

*high five*
I love that game too much.
I could never get into Zelda, though. I got the wii version, but my sister ended up playing it instead. :-\

Emulators be beastly!

Uiblis · April 18, 2011, 08:17:57 PM

They get boring after a while, though, and the controls suck b/c a lot of games require pressing more than 3 buttons at once, which is impossible on a keyboard.

SiegeMaster · April 22, 2011, 11:18:39 PM

I'm getting minecraft right now if this counts

Kilkenne · April 23, 2011, 09:54:16 AM

1. Age of Empires II: The Conquerors
2. Lords of the Realm II
3. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
4. Stronghold
5. Dragon Age: Origins

All but my fifth were made almost a decade (or more) ago. I feel old now.
