NFT: What are your top 5 video games of all time?

superspynyg : 4/15/2015 2:07 pm
Can be any system (nes, PS, standing arcade, etc) and can be any genre (sports, roll player, strategy, etc). Not franchise has to be the exact game ( like Madden 12)

Mine:
1 Civ II (PS 2)
2 Ghengis Kahn,(nes)
3 SNK Baseball Stars (nes)
4 Medevil ( nes)
5 Starwars trilogy ( arcade. You sat down in a cockpit)

honorable mentions were Marvel vs Capcom 2 and NBA Jam (arcade for both)

Mike Tysons Punch Out- NES
TECMO SB- SNES
TES: Morrowind (PC)
TES: Oblivion (PC)
Sid Mier's Civilization II (PC)


Skyrim is frickin' awesome, but IMO they've dumbed down the stats/skills too much and the game world is just too dreary.

Morrowind is still my favorite especially with the Graphics extender and other upgrade mods. Can't wait until Skywind is released/stable/playable.

Last official word was back in July when they said alpha was almost ready.

Rumors are it will be released sometime before the end of this year.

Hard to really tell with volunteers/freeware/labor of love, tho.

Thanks, Cam.

I hope it happens. The KOTOR II restoration project was such an amazing fan-produced labor of love that fixed the game.

I hope this one comes through too.

That reminds me: KOTOR I and II should be in the discussion.

And Gridiron! (Amiga).

Warcraft III (really a tie with WC2, but awesome multiplayer gives WC3 the edge)
Company of Heroes
Skyrim
TIE Fighter

This list will probably change depending on what pops into my mind. Pretty hard to leave Battlefield 1942 off the list, or original Call of Duty.
How can they not be these 5?
