Even though I had a 486SX with 4mb of RAM, it was never enough to run Elite smoothly from what I recall.


I think it was referring to the original Elite (eighties), it ran on a Commodore64.
BTW, It was my favorite too, together with Lords of Midnight and Sword of Aragon.

The original Elite was actually written for one of these,


, the 'BBC Micro' (which all Brits above a certain age will remember fondly). It only had 32K of memory.

Never seen that in Italy, the first available "home computer" was the VIC-20 in 1980 (I think)

Looks like a spammer to me. Who in their right mind would like a game like that... well, these days maybe I guess anythings possible.

C64

Elite, as mentioned before a fantastic game which brought me into computer gaming
Kampfgruppe by Mr. Grigsby. The first Steel Panther...
War in the South(west?) Pacific. Gary´s first UV Quite buggy, but the only game of its kind in those days
Summer and Winter Games for evenings with beer and friends
Pit Stop. It was a Formula 1 simulation for 2 players inluding refilling gas and changing tyres
Wizzards Crown, great RPG from SSI

Atari ST
Battle of Britain and SWOTL, great flight sims
Kaiser, multi player strategie games of the time of Frederic the Great/Napoleon
Dungeon Master. The first real Adventue with first person view and good graphics. I played it like, well, AE today

PC
too many
All the Grigsbys: Eastern Front, WIR, West front, the Steel Panther Series, Pacwar, UV, WITP...
Red Baron, great WW1 flight simulator
Silent Service,  one of the best sub simulators ever
Gothic 1 and 2, great rpg with intensive atmosphere
Morrowwind, also great rpg with a really big area to run around
Rome:Total War and its mods. One of the greatest games for me
World of Warcraft, great MMO during its first 2-3 years. A shame that it became a game for 12year old "kiddies"
OK, enough

Greetings

Rainer

Why not add in, that they need to do email verification when creating an account? (Or do they already do that here - I forget)

Is that screen showing the flying game for the BBC where you could fly under a bridge? Aviator it seems to say on the box but I can't remember (old age). Anyway it felt really cool when I did that.

survival horror like Silent Hill series and fatal frames. for simulations my fav is harvest moon series and best of all, the Sims 2! i can't wait for The Sims 3 next year. it must be fun to watch those little computer people getting complicated and more alive.


I played a few of these, didn't get into them too much, but they were so-so.  I think over all, my favourite games ever are some of the old classic adventure ones, like the last remake of Zork, or the Space-Quest series, etc.  Of course, I may be tainted by nostalgia, but some of these were pretty memoriable for the time.

Right now my favorite game of all time would have to be Call of Duty 2.  This is based on cranking it up every few months and running through the scenarios again and again.

Hello please write your favorite game


UV, perhaps to be usurped by AE.

Honerable mention: BoA, CoH, and HttR (in alpha order).

Hoping BftB will be my next favorite game, maybe even CF, if it's ever devloped.

Right now, Panzer Command: Kharkov. It's mostly what I've been playing lately.

But that could change of course. I've had a few "favorites" over the years. A couple that come to mind: "Battles of Napoleon" old old game on C-64 I think.

And then perhaps Steel Panthers, the original release, I still have the Box and the game manual around here somewhere (of course, I enjoyed the Matrix release and one of the Mega Campaigns from Matrix).

I know if I sit here in a couple of days, soem other "faovorites" will come to mind as well, but right now I'm having a blast with Panzer Command:Kharkov.
