The New Video Game Recommendation Thread v2.0

[merman]

RLLMUK maintain a wiki-style list of MAME recommendations... how about someone doing the same for this, with the possibility of registered users adding capsule reviews? Just a thought.

[shimeril]

With the list growing so long maybe we should have a topic for each platform stickied. I know that's a lot of platforms, so maybe a logical grouping of sorts if it's too large. Maybe along manufacturers lines like Ninty, Sega, Commodore.

This type of list really is brilliant and needs to be kept going, and up to date. Great work on bringing it back from the dead TF.

Great idea to have all these games collated.

Here's a couple of recommendations, one probably well-known, one not so well-known:

PC

Outlaws
The Reap

[CarlBillen]

I thought of a few other ones:

PC (Other)
- X-Com: UFO Enemy Unknown
- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
- Command And Conquer
- X-Wing vs. Tie-Fighter
- Wolfenstein 3D
- Doom
- Quake
- Ultima V
- Ultima Underworld
- Fallout 2 (I never played it but many people consider it a must)
- System Shock 2 (I never played it but many people consider it a must)

PS2
- Disgaea

[trezzer]

Oooh. I just thought of one for PC: The Longest Journey. Darned fine adventure game and dirt cheap on Steam. Even works on Vista.

There is now an attachment in the form of an OpenOffice Document. This list is getting way too big. I have what i think to be a decent TOC going. It's still a work in progress, but let me know what you think.

You'll have to hold down the ctrl button and then mouse click to go to each anchor.

Its becomming ridiculous to update this list internally. Let me know if you all like this method better.

For those who have linux i think you should be able to open this without me having to anything...hopefully.

Ive included the original OpenOffice Doc and a Word Document. I dont use OO so to the linux users give me your feedback.

Also, ive noticed In the word version it is not what i have in the OO document. I will work on this later.

is their gonna be a : sinclair zx81 (seeing as 1981 has been mentioned a few times in this forum )

'3d monster maze' and 'escape from manhatten' spring to mind

in fact thinking of it 3d monster maze is possibly a contender as a genre starter for 3d first persons such as doom

its just i was a 1973 baby (seeing as all are shouting how old we all are here)
and i think the idea of a ' best of ' list is uber. anyone looking for a few good titles without the 'lifes work / labour' (yes i used to download each rom for each bench as singles ) can access some recommended games from people who really know their stuff! (like you boys n girls n men n oldies n gramps n grans hehe)

[TodaysForgotten]

yea im just going to add whatever.

[benedictw]

TRS-80:
Deathmaze 3000

[guythp]

Some recommendations for the Acorn Electron (cheaper BBC Micro)

- Anarchy Zone
- Blitzkrieg
- Bonecruncher
- Cybertron Mission (much better than the C64 version, imo)
- Dare Devil Dennis (likewise, but then it's what I grew up with)
- Frak!
- Repton
- Strykers Run
- Syncron
- Vortex

Thanks for listening

I expect there are some duplicates, but there are probably at least one or two new ones.

I've recently had a lot of fun re-playing the Shadow Hearts trilogy for the PS2. Amazing battle system

Why not have a Google Moderator group for game suggestions?

http://moderator.appspot.com/

Seems perfect, imho.
People can post suggestions as well as vote up/down others.

[Darkflame]

I strongly recommend Darwinia+Multiwinia on Stream now for $10!
(or buy direct at their website)

[BLiTZ]

For the c64 is Giana Sisters missing, great game.
