Looking for good new games to play. What's your...

1. Number one favorite game on your PC right this moment?
2. Number one favorite game on any platform at the moment?

I'll go first.

1. Number 1 PC Game: Dangerous Waters: Yep I know its old and with crappy graphics, but its the only modern sub sim out there at the moment which is my favorite genre.
2. Number 1 PC Game if I had the right hardware: Microsoft Flight Simulator X, but my rig is not powerful enough to run the best resolutions/graphics so it looks crappy on my machine... :(
2. Number 1 game otherwise: Madden 2010 on PS3

I think the games I played the most were the DOS "Dark Forces" and Virgin's "Zone Raiders". Of course I was new to gaming then, but I've replayed them many times.

2. Skate 2

1. SH3 While waiting for SH5 I decided to do a full career, start to finish. Almost lost it once, limped home with half a crew and 20% hull integrity, but I made it. Still working on it.

2. Don't have any other platforms. They only have games. I only play simulations.

You realize there's a not-so-abandoned General Games Discussion forum, right?

Oh, well, I really couldn't decide what my favourite games are...Global Thermonuclear War?

My number one game at the moment is Red Storm Rising for the Amiga. Of course, I do not actually own an Amiga these days; I use emulation software for this purpose, UAE to be exact.

Second on the list is Aces of the Deep. There's simply nothing like it. I run this game through DOSBox.

I run both of these games under a Linux laptop.

If I could get it to run under Linux, I may be inclined to play DW a bit more. Although there is no dynamic campaign in DW, there is a high level of detail in regards to the sonar and TMA equipment, which is at times equally fun.

I suspect he means from the movie War Games.

"Would you like to play a game?"

The only thing on my PC right now are SH3 and SH4. I have FS9, but no joystick.

My number one right now is Dangerous Waters. My number one for all time ? That's a tough one. I'm torn between Ultima Online, Half Life, City of Heroes, and many others.

Well yeah, but I couldn't come up with a reference. I see you didn't have that problem. :salute:

Right now - X3 Terran Conflict is my top game. With the massive number of mods that are available, a truly dynamic universe, scaling difficulty - its the best ""Elite" like game out there. Not to mention - its danged pretty.

Historically what game has the top spot?
I can't really pick one. So many have captured my time over the decades.

RT3 is definitely better than RT2. But I still have fond memories for the original RT.

Nice simple interface not cluttered up with excess eye candy.

I guess for my favourite game it would be Civilization 4 with the expansions. It is my Go-to game when I want to relax.

I used to be into WoW but have lost interest and will probably quit - online games don't seem to match my play style.

Anyone here play Evil Genius? :D

At this moment my favorite game is Orbiter followed closely by Dangerous Waters.That reminds me, Orbiter is DEFINITELY up there as one of my all time favorites. I play around with that all the time.

Anyone here play Evil Genius? :DYeah ! That one is fun to play for a while, but I get really bored of it after a while.

I'm also going to have to add "Extreme Warfare Revenge" and "Total Extreme Wrestling 2005" to my list. Those are two INCREDIBLE freeware wrestling promotion management sims, especially with the addon databases people have made that are updating monthly. It's a LOT of fun scripting the matches and storylines. I've gotten a LOT of milage out of these games. :up:

I'm a board game fanatic myself, but I can NEVER find opponents. Everyone I know seems to be opposed to playing games that make them think or that doesn't involve a game console.
I have a collection of over 500 games in my game closet and they just collect dust now. :nope:
Back when I was a teenager, we used to play board games constantly. Now, it seems no one wants to put in the effort. I can't even get my wife to play a simple game of Chess.
