Metallus Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Thought I'd bring back one of the most posted-at threads from the YaBB forums. Post what games you're currently playing and/or hopelessly addicted to. For me: Microsoft Pinball Arcade - I got this game at the same time as Grim Fandango, and I still come back to play it. Tt's really realistic in both the audio and the graphics. It's got 7 simulated pinball tables, one from each decade from the 30's to the 90's. Urban Terror Mod For Quake 3: Arena - I love this mod! It's currently still in beta format, but it's the most fun I've had on Quake 3 for a long time. It's got some elements that are similar to Counter-Strike, but there are more game modes and a lot of original features to the game. An added bonus: Jake, the mixnmojo art director helped out on this game (check the credits)! Anyway, post your lists and explain why you like them.

Snootch Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Let's see... Deluxe skijump: That game is a small finnish skijumping game (causes addiction). Java Billiards: A small finnish game (again). Nice to play with friends over the internet. Causes addiction too. I haven't been playing much lately. Most because i've been busy with school. I had so many pinball games in cd but i can't find the cd's anymore. . Old swedish game "Pinball Fantasies", is great. It's really old but still my favorite pinball game. If someone can still find it from somewhere, i suggest to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huz Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Rally Championship Xtreme - Vroom vroom!! Right four tightens into blind square left, don't cut, ditch! Crash bang explode! (It's a fun game, anyway. Nothing like driving a car round a forest like a maniac and losing control at every other corner!) X - Beyond the Frontier - Like Elite and Frontier before it, don't start playing this if you'll some day hope to stop. You'll find it impossible. And I wasted many an hour on Pinball Dreams for the Amiga. I had to stop because the Shift keys - used to control the paddles - were getting worn out. Those pinball games are far too addictive.

xGrimx Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 I haven't been playing any computer games, but I have been playing my Xbox. Halo would be the game I would be playing alot. Awesome game for the Xbox! I am waiting for the Sam n' Max to come out to, I'll be all over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddocks Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 still Broken Sword 1......... and Tomb Raider 2 for some reason. Also Champ Manager 2000/01..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 Half-Life Not so much as Half-Life itself, but it's wealth of mods. More importantly, Day of Defeat! I just love the wartime fighting this game introduces, and the realism really does make it feel like something way out of other game's leagues.... even newer games such as Red Faction can't outweigh this game/mod Tribes 2 I play this almost daily, and I quite frankly love it's pace. Instead of being a "first shot is the winner" kind of premise, the weapons fire discs and such which take a small amount of time to reach the victim, forcing you to predict where the player will move next, and relying on splash damage for victory Also the playing enviroments are literally endless which makes me drool everytime I play the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 Grand Theft Auto 3 This game is just amazing. The fact you can navigate a whole city is excellent by itself, but then you can access whole new areas like suburbs, which is breathtaking. Add to this a huge level of detail, ability to run ANYONE down, ability to steal ANY car, and ability to make every triad in the game carve blood into your name.

Schmatz Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 GO THRIK! DoD AND GTA3... man they rock! I STILL play Diablo 2, and, on occasions, Team Fortress Classic or Day of Defeat. Been playing a bit of Galactic Batlegrounds, working on the OOM-9 campaign... it's pretty cool. Also got Gamecube, so I've been playing Rogue Leader, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 (beat one and two OH YEAH!) and Super Smash Brothers Melee. I gotta play SSB:Melee EVEN MORE because my stupid brother overwrited my saved game, and I lost all my stuff Oh yeah, and Tetrifast! So excellent!

MtBlanc Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 I'm still playing the demo for Colin McRae Rally 2.0....after a year. The demo for God's sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 Case Closed? I know I played that but can't remember it. Anyone try Poke646? It's a new one. Focuses more on puzzles than on shooting things. It looks very good, too. I was surprised to find in the library that the polished marble floors were reflective. Never saw reflective surfaces in HL before. And the marquee of the movie theater was funny: They Hunger 4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall Guy Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 'case closed' is the one where you play a janitor caught up in the mess in the Black Mesa facility. I think planet HL or Planet Quake made it...neway..its a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallus Posted January 17, 2002 Author Share Posted January 17, 2002 I'm currently replyaing the Mysteries of the Sith missionpack for Jedi Knight. It's really well done, except the voice actors aren't the same as in the first game. My only beef with it is that unless you cheat you can't use saber-throw with Mara, since her force powers are pre-picked for that category.

MtBlanc Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I'm still waiting for Colin McRae Rally 2.0 to come, so I'm still playing the demo. That and NBA Jam for the Sega Genesis. Boomshakalaka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted January 18, 2002 Author Share Posted January 18, 2002 NBA Jam is one of those games that is immortal. It stands with a select few games that will NEVER get old. Can anyone name any other titles that are in this category? Other games that I can think of right now: Mike Tyson's Punch-Out (so simple, yet so effective) Grim Fandango (so complex, you have to replay it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
