The computer game thread

[qiangdade]

Do u play any computer games? If yes, which? My favorites are: Civilization 2 (unbeatable ), civ3 and 4, the dig, civ city rome, world basketball manager, and some occasional adventure and puzzle games. I also like a very old game called imperial conquest. Generally i like turn-based strategy games

I am not a big fan of video games. However I was playing a lot when I had my old computer (that explains why my list is so out of date): Half-life, Red Alert, Dune 2000 (?), Quake I/II, Need for speed 1/2/3, Commandos.

My favourites are strategic games such as KKND, Red Alert, Star Craft, War Craft. I remember I was addict on Diablo I when it was released. Now I usually play on-line game called MU. Also I'm ace at Solitaire (vegas) and Minesweaper

Commandos 2 was unbelievable!!

As I already said in a post I still play Lakers vs Celtics. I've also been addicted to Championship Manager for a long time, although I don't like football that much, but the game is indeed fascinating.

I cannot find a good game for my taste for a long time, and sadly, I don't have time for it anymore .

My favorites are usually the turn-based strategy games with rpg elements, like;

Heroes of Might and Magic III&IV
Arcanum
Dungeon Siege I&II

In my first year of uni I remember not being able to sleep because I was too busy playing games like Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Vietcong and of course NFS. Sadly that was the last time I could really enjoy playing a video game-didn't have time since then...

I really liked Baldurs Gate 2,Fallout's,Icewind Dale 2 (but since there arent any worthy rpgs anymore) , Battlefield 2,Total War:Rome etc...

The NBA Live series has reached a stalemate.Perhaps a competitor would spice things up-as Pro Evolution did for Fifa.I wish there was a pc version of 2k7 or other bball sim

still no civ fans in here

[c_fish]

Civ 4 is good but a bit heavy for my pc and the battles suck.If it had the unit movement and battle style of the Total war:Rome, it would be perfect

still no civ fans in here

Buddy!

I have played Civ since the times of when C64 ruled the world(s)!

I liked Civ 2 but it was quite flawed in the way civilizations interacted with one another. Civ 3 is awsome! I have played it since the first day it came out (yes, I actually waited outside the store when they opened and ran home )
I had to stop when I got a new PC and had to find a cracked version (my laptop did not have a disc drive) and the cracked one is flawed as its stuck on version 1.07f. (no air supremacy, no precision bombing and no other use for SAM batteries other than to build the SDI defence)
Bummer.

I was again standing in line outside the store when CIV came out and ran home (I cant help it -its so bloody addictive!).
My laptop is on the slow side though so I cant really play it on larger maps and it is so slow its crazy in later ages. Kinda takes away the fun.
Religion, units/battles and great people is hard though!

I have played Total Club Manager but it is incredibly buggy and once you reach that level where you can sign anyone you want...well, its not that fun anymore. Later versions (I had the one with Robson on the front) is not really that great of an improvement. Everyone I talked to says that Championship Manager is better so I guess I should give it a look.

civ2 had alot of flaws but it was waaay ahead of its time and is more addictive than the other parts of the civ series. Civ 3 was ok and civ 4 is great. I love the religion thing. I always try to found 4-5 -lots of money. Also the great people, good way to get ahead technology wise. I am so obsessed with civ that i actually put down my thoughts on a strategy game of my own

Why am I not shocked that you are hooked on a game with precision bombing and air supremacy as minimum requirements for a good time?

I was actually wrong, I did not play Civilization on C64 -that was what Pirates was for.
Amiga with its 1mb memory was the It thing to me for a long time.

The flaw in Civ 2 was that there was no luxuries to trade and the way you could use bombers to halt guerillas. And diplomacy is way flawed.

I am actually so into Civ that I have ordered my minions to postpone the great revolution untill I have taken over the civ world.

Beware though, it wont be long now...

We cant all be perfect although I am scary close now...
And I refrain from Nukes, that is something right?
Right?
