Kick Off 2


and the Parasite Eves of course


a top 5 of the non-adv games i've played the most, in order of "hours a day" and duration thru time is:

1. Kick Off 2
2. Parasite Eve 1 & 2
3. Moon Cresta
4. Phantasie III
5. Football Director

i still play the first 3... i haven't played 4 and 5 since a long time, but when i played them i was totally overwhelmed by them, playing them for months w/o touching anything else!

You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

Ordering them is a very difficult task but I'll try:

1. Wasteland
After replaying it some days ago, I can say this is the game I most enjoyed ever

2. Fallout
Just like Wasteland, a game I enjoyed like nothing else. Like Old Wise Stooge said: POSTAPOCALYPSEINYOURFACECOOLNESS.
3. System Shock
I still remember every corner of the first level just as if I played it yesterday.
4. Planescape: Torment
Can't describe it with words, this game took me by surprise. Best storytelling and deepest characters I've ever seen.
5. Out Of This World
I like sci-fi, does it show?

Very special mentions to Betrayal At Krondor (right up with Torment for the best writing ever in a game) and Ultima VII.

Rael...If you liked Ultima VII, you might really like Divine Divinity. The creators were mainly inspired by that very game.

So how come you're still a puny Lance Corporal and not Sergeant Argent or something?

Because I'm half thru the game
But it was enough to make me remember how much I enjoyed it!

I would have to say my favorites are Planescape Torment, Deus Ex, Omikron, and Outcast.  

Personally, I like to vary genres a bit and find that a full diet of only point-and-click adventures makes me skinny and grouchy  :-X

(ARGH... did she really say that????)

i'm here now
not for too long though, all those beers have made me really sleepy!
you don't know what the Parasite Eves are? SACRILEGE!
oh well... PE is a 3D arcade adv, of the so called "survival horror" genre (smth like the REs)... it's PSX only though
PE3 should be released for the PC ASAP... or so i, the heroine of the PEs, say... but noone listens (especially since FF got so big) >
