I just played Quest 64 again after, oh I dunno, 5 years... almost forgot how great it really was. Goddammit, that game kicks ass... then again, I do like real-time RPGs over turn-based ones...

 

If you have an emulator, grab this game. It ****ing owns.

If whoever made BattleTanz had taken it to a whole new level with Xbox live...pwnorz

 

SW BFI and II are severely underrated. Great great games. Especially mulitplayer.

 

oh, you cant THE military classic: RISK

 

Rise of Nations is underated. Fun game. Bit diff from C&C, (Microsoft too) but not baod overall.

War in middle earth on the C64. That was a kick ass in depth Turn based strategy game :P

 

I also loved Sword of vamillion on the Sega Genesis. For some reason that was an RPG I loved too damn much. I must had completed it about 6 times... I never bought it though,I only Rented it. But I got so damn addicted to it, I never returned the game :haha:

 

There are so many other great games I had on the C64 like Chucky egg (under-rated platform), R-type (The original!) The Adventures of Dizzy, Cammando (Classic!) Pitstop 2.....the list goes on and on. I miss my Commodore 64 :cry:

Conquest: Fronter wars

 

Owned

 

The best Strat game (minus RA and im ONLY talking about RA) I've ever played.

 

Its got a great storyline (well its humans in future stumble into glalactic war... but its really well done)

 

3 great sides with blaitant good and bads.

 

Terrains (humans) - Big damn battleships that love sluging it out :P plus missile carriers and fleet cariers.

 

Mantis - (big bad evil bugs) mostly use fighters and overwhelming numbers

 

Celeron- (super advanced gas things nice to us humans) They got the wormholes and the big lazer guns :P

 

 

 

Its more or less just like EAW but its about 5-7 years old. You can fight out over 16 solar systems, you build space stations and mines around planets and go from system to system via wormholes.

 

 

It is really good i love booting this up as much as RA.

C&C in space with an over complicated 16 system map mode, and a boring campaign mode...

 

Imperium Galactica was 100 times better! :roll:

You had trouble? :lol:

 

Love that game with 7 Brutal AIs. It was better than RA2 on skirmish cos the AIs attacked each other ;)

 

Also the 16 map maps are only hard on total random ;)

Very good. Those are much better than modern heli attack games.

 

Ace Combat is another great series, although the multiplayer just sux. Its been getting halfway decent, but still.

its Namco you nicompoop 8)

 

Konami indeed

 

speaking of rating games......

 

Well, EA knows the collective eyes of the world will be watching when C&C3 is released, and they know that if it sux...they will be kindly and politely excused and escorted from the table as the helicopters blow them up with uncounted scores of hellfires... :wink: :twisted:

hellfires? hah.....much worse will hopefully be released upon those who F up CNC3............well i'd hope altogether they dont F it up at all...cuz if they do man..........well words cant express it

I doubt they will. I saw the EA newsletters and prelimary documents today. Good stuff is happening to the Tiberian Universe (despite the Earth being pwned, glaciers meltings, the ozone leaveing, meateros becomed crashed into the earth, and Tiberium infesting the whol planet and wiping out civilation) :wink:

I wouldn't worry about C&C 3 being messed up, it's been watched by Louis Castle, and has anyone else who was at Westwood working on it. It's in safe hands :wink:

Share this post

ah yes, Louis Castle

 

Bob bless him, he's still keeping EA sane... :wink:

 

Wondeer how they will do the music this time. Cause Frank will be hard to top, especially after his excelent run in TS with carrying over the apocalyptic ambience with the music.

id like to see alot of ambienc, but a really well done kind that is kind of versatile

Well.... I'm afraid I have to say Sole Survivor.

 

Usually slagged off a lot by people that weren't playing it in it's all too brief life and then dropped like a hot poop by EA :(

 

Hmm... I wonder if APOC would let me have the server files for it... I'd host one no danger!

 

Cheers for now

Oh sweet mother of God...

That would sound the death knell of the C&C franchise. Seriously, hiphop in a C&C game? PUT DOWN THE JOINT!!!
