Guybrush122 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 I don't think this topic has been done in a while, and I'm bored so... ...post your absolute favorite video games. However many you want. Then tell us what games you haven't played but have high hopes for. My Favorites are: Grim Fandango Monkey Island Series Legend of Zelda: Ocarana of Time Max Payne The Longest Journey The Dig Day of the Tentacle Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis American McGee's Alice (the concept really, not quite the game as a whole...coulda been better) My High Hopes: ICO Sam N Max: Hit the Road Sam N Max: Freelance Police Full Throttle Go for it, guys...lay it on us.

Thrik Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 All-Time Favourites: Grim Fandango Monkey Island 1 - 3 Donkey Kong Country 1+2 Metal Gear Solid series Worms series Tribes 2 Looking forward to: Tribes: Vengeance Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater Unreal Tournament 2004 Bwoosh.
Akril Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 All right then (with a few quotes thrown in just for fun): The King's Quest series (particularly 7: "Did you say...'we?' I presume you mean yourself and your...tapeworm?" --Dr. Mort Cadaver) The Space Quest series (particularly 6 "Say, you look familiar...didn't I kick your butt in a huge robot once?" --Roger Wilco) Goblin's Quest 3 ("I am scared of spiders? I don’t understand.” --Wolfy) The Longest Journey ("Locked -- it's LOCKED?! There are three hundred women here and the ladies' room is LOCKED?? Good GAWD!" --April Ryan) Oh yeah. And Monkey Island 3, of course. As for upcoming games...I hope Al Lowe plays at least SOME part in LSL8, and even though Syberia reminded me of a 3rd person Myst (don't get me wrong, I like Myst. Really.) I'll probably be getting Syberia II. Akril

DUDE! you forgot to add Broken Sword!
Jedi-Monkey Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 A few of the best. I implore you to buy them if you havnt already. Lucasarts adventures (given really) Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy Crash Team Racing Crash Bandicoot Warped GTA 3 and Vice City Ratchet and Clank The first 3 Spyro games Kingdom Hearts
Guybrush122 Posted January 21, 2004 Author Posted January 21, 2004 Originally posted by NiKo DUDE! you forgot to add Broken Sword! It's funny cause I posted this topic with a feeling of incompletion... ...I'd say Broken Sword would be above Indy: FOA and below DOTT for sure. Actually, it's tough to place, because I haven't played it in a while....(I have XP and ScummVM isn't compatable with the game).

If change compatibility mode to run WIn 95/98, you can play it fine, I just played through BS1 a couple days ago, and I gots XP.
Shivermetimbers Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 THE BIG NUMBER 1!!!!- DAY OF THE TENTACLE CMI Grim Fandango THPS 3
Reaper Girl Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 Just about everything posted here, big favorites are... Monkey Island 2 Monkey Island 3 Day of the Tentacle Doom (dooom, doooooom! ) Doom II Metal Gear Solid (though it was a challenge! ) Aliens Ate My Baby Siter! (Keen) (old, old favorite) Soul Reaver Spyro the Dragon (its the only game I know of where you can play as a dragon, and its very pretty, so shove off!) And MediEviL. Its a hidden gem in my opinion. Its affected my art in ways...WHAT?! SHOVE OFF, ITS BRITISH! MediEviL2 was an extreme dissapointment (as well as made a certain FanFic null... )
Alia Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 Monkey Island series Grim Fandango Day of the Tentacle Psychonauts Indiana Jones FOA Morrowind: the Elder Scrolls III Loom Need for Speed II Gazillionaire and Zapitalism Rogue Squadron Commander Keens 4-6 I probably forgot two or three that belong on this list. Ah well.
RicardoLuigi... Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 Aliens Ate My Baby Siter! (Keen) whoa. that's weird. i used to play that. and it feels like a looong loong time ago. i don't get that. why does loooong sound like laaaaawng. shouldn't it be just what it's like? a bunch of o's should make an "oo" sound. anyway... i don't play too many video games or anything so my "favorites" might not be too qualified, considering i haven't played trillions upon trillions of games or anything. i like the sims...bustin' out is a little better than the original sims (for gamecube) of course the monkey island series. why eltse (remember that?) would i be here? not too much else. even though they suck, i still like the survivor computer games a little bit. not sure what else...i like metroid. uh...that's probably about it. sorry that i didn't have a super-duper exciting list there...

Guybrush122 Posted January 25, 2004 Author Posted January 25, 2004 Forgive my ignorance...but huh? I see no executable properties. And if you're talking about changing the properties of the .exe file for Broken Sword, that doesn't work....because it won't install in the first place. Says I don't have enough (15) megabytes on my C:/ drive (yet I have 90 gigabytes).
Thrik Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Yes, that's exactly what I mean. You right-click any .exe file and there's a section for setting compatability options. If you can't do that, well.. you're a bit screwed aren't you?
Guybrush122 Posted January 25, 2004 Author Posted January 25, 2004 Haha! It was tricky but I did it. Many thanks Trik.
Shivermetimbers Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 Originally posted by Alia Gazillionaire and Zapitalism forgot to add those. I like profitainia too, but its AWFULLY hard.
