Fishu Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 Came into my mind... theres no Tetris I never played it much but it tore my nerves to see others play it all of the time! Stellarrat, Ahh... I remember Falcon 4 too. Railroad tycoon was addictive too (I guess I have its amiga box still in the closet) Can't really say that is the list of best games.

Compassion Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 Hmmm... Re-reading the list... no Strike Commander (thought I guess one could add it into the 'Wing' commander series.... same audience, same storytelling style) or Interstate '76... Two great 'light' sims with big fun stories and in the case of I76 the funkiest bad-assed soundtack around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanir Ausf B Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 Congrats to CM and BTS. As far as the rest of the list goes, most of my faves are there as well (X-Com...ooohhhhahhhhhhhhh...the memories). I think the old sub sim Red Storm Rising should be there, but I'm weird like that. The one absolutely unforgivable omission is of the Thief games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBlaque Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 If you think 50th is bad, lets look at games (obviously those I enjoyed) that didn't make the list at all.... Red Baron series Close Combat series Masters of Magic Railroad Tycoon M1 Tank Platoon Gunship Grand Prix Indianapolis 500 Front Page Sports Football Falcon series MOST other wargames (Gettysburg, Ancient Art of War, Shogun, etc.) Dune Myst Warlords Hexen/Heritic F19 Great Naval Battles Dungeons and Dragons Gold Box Series and the list goes on and on.... To make the TOP fifty is truly phenomenal given a good fifteen year gaming history in a multi-billion dollar industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pak40 Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 50 is a great feat considering the hundreds(thousands?) of games that have ever come out since the PC/Mac has been available. But really, this list has some problems. For starters, they list some games as series but Civilization II only gets listed. Civ 1 should have been in there too, especially if they're going to say "Warcraft Series". Because we know Warcraft 1 wasn't all that great. It certainly doesn't fall into the greatness that Civ 1 does. How does Diablo beat out Baldur's Gate? Twitch crowd, that's how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
