Favourite Games

I thought i would start a thread in here due to not really having much to do with it yet..

So whats everyones most favourite game on pc of all time..?can be as recent as you like (black ops 2..?) or as old as you like..? (Text based zork )

I think the most 'enjoyment' and hours i have had out of a computer game would probably be titans quest (rpg)..or fallout 3.both are high on my enjoyment list.

So whats your fav?!Have a deep think before you answer..

Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel (1987 EGA Version)

I played the ever loving crap out of that game. I still play it about once a year.

Thank you, ScummVM!

Dungeon Keeper 2, with Submarine Titans in a close second

I've never gotten DK2 to work on a modern computer. There seems to be a conflict between the game engine and the method a modern graphics card operates compared to back then, so even a VM set up with Windows 95/98 it will fail to render.

But for pure manhours invested I'd say Starcraft/Brood War.

It used to be MOHAA for such a long time, years in fact, but now the game I can always go back to everytime and enjoy is Crysis, at any point in the game. BF3 has claimed the most amour of my time this year though, so it's a close second.

I know my choices are different than the others listed, I suppose I'm special

I will say Supreme Commander, the original UT, CIV IV, WOW and Oblivion. But my favourite considering all platforms is final fantasy X (the reason I still keep a ps2 around )

I always say how much i hate players on LoL, but always find myself playing 4 hours a day without thinking, guess i got the most entertainment (and stress) out of that game, and i have dota 2 and 2 free keys but didnt really like it that much, and i cant honestly tell you why! guess it's new and i dont know how to play something like LoL that isnt LoL. xD

Favourite games, Diablo 2, Dungeon Siege Legends of Aranna, Singularity, return to castle wolfenstein, and i am STILL an avid player of Heretic and deathkings of the dark citadel
