Star Control 2 is the best game of all time.
Privateer and Crusader series were both great (both by Origin). There was gonna be part 3 for both games (Privateer 3 was in design stage not sure about Crusader 3) then Origin focus on online games. Too bad Origin is gone because their games always force you to upgrade your computer.

For me it has to be the following:
Gunship 2000 (too many hours were spent playing this)
Lemmings (ditto)
Grand Prix 1 & 2 (ditto)
Flight Sim 4 (ditto)
Ultima 7 (so so so addictive)
Quake 1 & 2 (played both of these games to death especially quake2 as I was online properly when it was released and was able to help start the online commmunity ... the first and last time I would do such a thing but It was fun )
Command & Conquer (Dune 2 was always a missed affair with me but C&C really did get everything right ... for me anyway)
Elite (the sequels didn't feel right somehow ... the combat in elite 2 and first enc. was really bad)

Diablo 2 is the only game I have been able to install and keep installed for longer than 6 months. It is also the only game I have been able to play and not lose interest for more than 2 months. Games like Soldier of Fortune, Superbike 2001, the original Diablo. Some RPGs, some action games. I have installed and either uninstalled immediately after viewing only for 10 minutes or I have beaten them and lost interest immediately. (Dungeon Siege is a good example of "quick fix" gaming).
So Diablo 2 would be my pick.
Now if you said console gaming, then you've got me stumped, and I would have to play all of the games again to compare. Of course, it would only be Nintendo or Super Nintendo, because they've brought out the best games for consoles.

Games are getting even better, even better than Xbox and PS2.
People says the PC are going down, I'l say wrong!!!! more better games are coming. Watch out for Doom 3, Unreal2 and Tornment 2,
I vote for Jedi Knight 2 is the best game. Cause of the wicked lightsaber and force. Awesome!!

true true,
but PC's will never go down, cause consolses can never do what PC's do, and never will be able to do all that PC's do, cause then they would not be 'gaming consoles" now would they.

My personal Favs..
System Shock 2
Thief 1 and 2
Quake 2 and many mods
Half Life, Firearms, and CS (up to beta 4, anything after that was crap)
Galaga
Samurai Shodown
Street Fighter (arcade Only...no console crap)
Fallout 1 and 2
Planescape Torment
thems be the games i wouldn't mind playing over and over. Anything else gets the once maybe twice treatment

I don't know about that, with the way that the Xbox is going, in the next 5 years, it may become an all-purpose box that does TV, Music, Games, Applications, etc. all in one easy to setup box.

@ the moment I'd have to say Dungeon Seige. Very addictive, nice graphice, & IMO well thought out. Just when you think you've gotten too good for it & that you can beat any baddies that come your way, when along comes something, or several somethings that very nearly beat your characters to a pulp, & puts you back on your guard.
I also love the gory effects when you make the various monsters explode.

You've had that? I think during the entire time I suffered through DS, I almost died once, and that was in Hard mode, in that spot with the gremlings.
The rest of the game was easy, the ending was horribly easy to win over. DS is one of those "quick fix" games, you play it, you beat it, you remove it. I was never addicted to the game, and I've played almost every RPG there is, console or PC.

I was never addicted to the game, and I've played almost every RPG there is, console or PC. Ah, well you sound like a seasoned games & especially RPG games player, whereas I'm not. I don't play games much - not many hold my interest for more than a few days, which is why Max Payne is the only game I've ever actually finished, so far. Plus there's also the fact that in DS I tend to go looking for trouble, rather than find the quickest way through - I want to kill EVERYTHING.
It's also possible my characters's abilities aren't as well developed as they could be as I'm not used to this genre & can't make up my mind about what characteristics I want to develop in which characters, basically I can't help wanting them to all be good @ everything, though it is turning out that some are better @ some things than others, but then I'm not that far into it, so I guess I'll figure it out as I go along. That's part of the fun of it afterall.
