I remember Hogs of War (PS1). It was the first game I ever bought.Sinistrade said:
Does anyone remember Flatout? It was this awesome racing/destruction derby game with rusty old muscle cars. It also had that stunt arena where you launch your driver through the windshield into a giant dartboard or bowling pins or a bunch of other stuff.
Hahaa, Empires was the first game I bought for our home PC...sadly our PC was crap and could run the damn game...so years later, when I finally got a computer that could run it, I had already moved on to some "better" RTS-games (in my opinion). I still have the game right here, sitting there, gatherin' dust. I never finished it, if I remember correctly. Perhaps I should...SomeLameStuff said:

Hogs of War was hilarious! Too bad I can't find it anywhere anymore...Sinistrade said:
Also, Tombi 1 & 2, hell yeah! I have played both of them 100 % through (as I might have mentioned on these forums many times already, heh.) If you can find any of them, I recommend you get them. Fun times, fun times.
Though badass indeed, pretty much everybody remembers/heard of bomberman's awesomeness.teh_Canape said:

I remember playing that game as a kid, good times.Fantoompje said:
Anyway, one of my altime favourites must be the neverhood. some of the puzzles are just plain frustrating but everyting else meakes up for it (like the music.)
heres some links to some videos of the neverhood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aDh_O3FQWY

I'm not a shill for GOG- really!- but they do have it. It was a really original game, though the character graphics look quite dated today. The final adversary is a b@$%# and a half, though- collects your color's souls without having to convert them, and has access to just about every power.IBlackKiteI said:
But, hey- $6.
My forgotten game would be Sierra's Jones in the Fast Lane. If someone did a modern-day remake with a little bit of expansion and chrome and offered it for $10 or so, I'd totally take them up on it.
Nomad
Essentially, a crashed alien ship is patched up on Earth and you are sent off into the big black to do some exploring in it and wind up embroiled in a multi-species war against evil robots.

It was groundbreaking for it's time as it allowed free-roaming, large amounts of interaction, resource gathering, trading, ship-upgrade options and the various aliens you spoke to would all remember you and react accordingly. I stil have it on the offchance I will download a DOS emulator and dive in!

James Bond: Everything or Nothing.
This game was amazing arguably the best bond since goldeneye, it had a fantastic cast (Willem Defoe was the bad guy for godsake), great bond theme, animations, vehicle sections, gadgets, it was the real 007 package.
Yet people don't seem to remember it or mention it when they think of 007 games or great 3rd person action games, even the new 007 Daniel Craig game is nigh identical to EoN but there is hardly any mention of EoN being either an influence or being the basis for the new game.
Although I admit the movement from shooting to hand to hand is alot smoother in the new one.
I might buy that game again, now that i'm reminiscing...

except the wushu grab was too overpowered
Cutthroats: Terror on the High Seas
A wonderful simulation of the pirate life. It was wonderfully open ended, but horribly unbalanced and, without proper patching, crawling with bugs.
The atmosphere was just so damn good. I still remember some of the soundbites:
"It's time for some drinkin' and whorin'!"
"AY AY CAPTAIN!"
"Send them to Davy Jones' locker!"
Also, the wonderful artstyle.
Man, I miss that game.
