    K,

    10] Mario Cart <16bit>
    9 ] Resident Evil Directors Cut
    8 ] Monkey Island 2
    7 ] Final Fantasy VII
    6 ] UT
    5 ] Monkey Island 3
    4 ] Half Life
    3 ] Resident Evil 2
    2 ] Quake 3
    1 ] Monkey Island 4

    A diverse list, I know!. But these games represent a large percentage of my teenage years. They are the games that myself and all my friends have in common. The Monkey Islands (between my friends and I), and Resident Evil is more me.

    See Jimi? you dont have to be insane to like Resident Evil (although I guess I do have a sort of unhealthy obsession with it) but its just sooooo good.

    OK, I'll shut up now

    Well the word video means

    Main Entry: 1vid·eo
    Pronunciation: 'vi-dE-"O
    Function: noun
    Etymology: Latin vidEre to see + -o (as in audio)
    Date: 1937

    So it's a bastárdisation of the latin vidEre which means to see. But specifically it means something visual on a television which is where we play a lot of games.

    Kind of bleedin obvious really. Anyway back to the topic:

    1. Civ 2 (PC)
    2. Speedball 2 (Amiga)
    3. Pacman (Atari 2600)
    4. Deus Ex (PC)
    5. Half-life (PC)
    6. Quake 3 (PC)
    7. Tetris (Gameboy)
    8. Tekken 3 (PSX)
    9. Ridgeracer (PSX)
    10. The entire Monkey island series (Amiga and PC)

    Even though I was their captive, the Indians allowed me quite a bit of freedom. I could walk freely, make my own meals, and even hurl large rocks at their heads. It was only later that I discovered that they were not Indians at all but only dirty-clothes hampers.

    Greenhell! You mentioned Dungeon Keeper! Good man yourself.

    Best game ever is the original Dungeon Keeper. Close second is Half-Life, then possibly games like Myst/Riven/Sc2000. I rather like Thief: The Dark Project.

    Dunno about anything else.

    I'm still playing Dungeon Keeper years after I bought it. 1997 I think? Absolutely brilliant, Bullfrog completely 0\\'N smile.gif

    seamus,

    Now that you mention it seamus, I remember the game well. I used to always pick the green guy coz he could shoot arrows rappidly and all that. There was more than one version of the game, and I used to play mine on the Commodore64.

    For all ye Galway headz::
    Ja know where Salt n' Peppers take away is in Salthill, back in the mid eighties, that used to be a small arcade and it had the game in it.

    Ahh those were the days that my mind was inspired, by things like simple graphics, brilliant gameplay and 2600 wasn't known as AT&Ts secret frequency used for long distance phone calls.
