Default Top 5 Games You Play

1. SEIV
2. TRIBES
3. SOF
4. SimCity3000
5. BOTF

SEIV gets the top honors for many reasons. One, is the expandibility of the game. The mods and Aaron keep the good stuff coming. The challenge to be the ultimate lord over all that is known. (Yep, I am a power hungry ruthless dictator, hense the name Atrocities, is far more inticing than one would imagine)

Overall, this game has help my undivided attention since Nov 2000. I can not say enough about the hours I have spent playing it. Lets just say that if I got paid hourly to play it, I would be a very wealthy man.

I strongly suspect that even with the release of Tribes 2 later this week, SEIV will still be one of the games that I consistantly play. SEIV is a winner, and I am proud to be amoung those who play it.

Default Re: Top 5 Games You Play

It's hard for me to make it a top 5 ranking .. what I play depends too much on mood and other players .. some games are just not mp-able, other only playable that way

SE4 (o.c.)
Stars! (MP/email only)
SteelPanthersWorldatWar (it's free)
MOO2
EF2000
TTDX (with J.Drexlers patch)
BOTF (with my own mod)
RedStormRising
Harpoon2AE

.. other I'll touch only once or twice a year

In past years I would have had plenty of games scrambling for a top 5 but since I bought SE4 in December I have not played another game! My all time Favorites besides SE4 are
X-Com Apocolyspe (sp.?)
Alpha-Centuri
Panzer General
Fallout 2
Wizardry 1 (for apple II)

Default Re: Top 5 Games You Play

1. SEIV
2. CTP1 with my own mod
3. Baldur's Gate I and II
4. Icewind Dale
5. SEIII

I tried BOTF and although it had a lot of potential, it had tooooo many bugs and design flaws and Micropose refused to support the game. Except for the graphics, I think SEIII is a better game so BOTF is no longer on my hard drive. Which is why I love SEIV!

Hrumpf, someone else plays my favorite:

1. Europa Universalis
2. SEIV
3. Heavy Gear 2 (I'm a PodCorp'er)
4. Operational Art of War
5. Tachyon: The Fringe (Just for Bruce Cambell)

1 & 2 I play every day without fail. 3 is a few times a week. 4 & 5 are a few times a month (usualy at/with the National Guard.)
