Recently my votes been changed to Kingdom Hearts i just want to know your oppinions. plus i'm looking for some new games to try

The Monkey Island quadrilogy rules. As does the Final Fantasy series.

Kingdom Hearts is an OK game.

I think the Elder Scroll games are. Morrowind was awesome and I look forward to Oblivion. Just if they'd make it multiplayer.
I vote most addicting game to be Diablo II online.

Nba Live 05.06 are the best games ever.

Operation Flashpoint

Hmm...I can't choose one, so I'll pick my favorite from each genre:

Best RPG: Final Fantasy VII
Best RTS: Empire Earth: The Art Of Conquest
Best FPS: Half-Life
Best Third-person shooter: Max Payne
Best online game: NationStates.

THe Halo series and Kingdom Hearts all the way!

Empire Earth 2

Or NBA street VOL.3 anyone ever play NBA live 05? Nba Live 06 will come out in September. I'm getting 06 for GC. or Xbox360 in November.

The Smash Bros. series is THE best multiplayer game ever.

the Jagged Allaince series (well, Until 3D is relased and then we'll see).
Best RPG: Jagged Allaince 2/Final Fantasy VII
Best turnbased strat: Jagged Allaince 2
Best RTS: C&C Red Alert 1
Best FPS:For overall greatness it's gotta be Half-life but for shear killyness the Serious Sam games
Best Online: CS 1.5

best strategy: Civ III conquests (best mods ever downloaded)
best RTS: CNC series (mostly Red alert though)
best Third-person shooter: vice city

best strategy: Civ III conquests (best mods ever downloaded)I'm surprised someone with your name would show so much taste :p

I'm surprised someone with your name would show so much taste :p

Yea, I was expecting to hear Call to Power all the way.

Fallout 2.

Fallout 2.

If you like Fallout, try 'Arcanum' by Troika.

The Dizzy series, Cannon Fodder, Sensi Soccer and the Championship Manager series.

Think that pretty much explains when I was a gamer.

split between half life series and battlefield series, i am slightly in favour of battlefield.

Yea, I was expecting to hear Call to Power all the way.

CTP is too hard :(

If you like Fallout, try 'Arcanum' by Troika. Arcanum was too easy towards the end. I didn't like the 'semi-turn based' (in other words real time with a pause option) combat system either. It could have been a good game.. I mean the potential was there, but as I was playing it I got the feeling the whole game had been just thrown together, like it was a real rush job. I didn't think the game was very balanced, and the overall quality of the game was definitely not on par with the Fallout series.

I know what you mean. The rest of the game was good, but the final room was shit. You had 3 possibilities: Kill the necromancer, join the necromancer or convince the necromancer to kill himself. Sounds good? But if you join him it's shit and even if you convince him to kill hinself you still have to fight him. WTF?!?

But I do love the fact that you can kill Myrth before dragging his soul back to our realm to obtain the information you need.

anything by BullFrog.

Metal Gear Solid

Did you guys ever explore the game entirely?? Like become master of stuff. I thought the master pickpocket quest was hilarious.

i could not tell you because i cannot figure out how ot play these games they just seem to complicated

THe Halo series and Kingdom Hearts all the way!
yes halo is brill have u got xbox live cus it it better online cus i know loads of glitches.

FF 9
Gabriel Knight III
Deus Ex
Baldur's Gate I & II
Soul Calibur 2
Age of Empires
C&C Tiberium Dawn
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

The best game I have is definitely Destroy All Humans. It is probably the best comedy game ever.

System Shock 2.

I am shocked, nay, disgusted that nobody has mentioned EarthBound yet. As such, I am mentioning it now.

EarthBound for the win.

Halo 2 online. Rules. Halo 1 single player is cool. Destroy all Humans is funny. Best PC online game: NS (then again I only play 2.....)

Calas

I'll have to say Civilization III. I can't wait for IV!

Although, the Age of Empires series is great too, and they're also coming out with a new one.

Morrowind is most definatly the best video game ever.

Did you guys ever explore the game entirely?? Like become master of stuff. I thought the master pickpocket quest was hilarious.

I hated it. A major dent to your popularity and a useless bonus? No ta. But yes, I did explore the game entirely. I've mastered most things except from certain magics.

System Shock 2.
that is a great game :)

Any Zelda game except wind waker. Ages of Empires is good to.

The Elder Scrolls series. Seriously, if you disagree I'll challenge your sexuality, with a variety of ill-fitting names.
It has a fuckton of background lore, good storylines, and all the games (except Reduard) have kicked the skinny ass of every RPG before and since. And with the impending arrival of TES IV: Oblivion, that record is going to be upheld.

Anybody ever play Europa Universalis II or any of the other Paradox games? Best strategy games ever made; at least I think so.

omg it is so super smash bros melle all the way all other games cringe in comparison.its like for all ages to because no gore

I really love,
all of the above.

Soul Calibur 2(GC version)
the only game out of your list I can agree with ;)

A good action game is True Crime Streets of LA

Golden Sun series on the GBA is underrated.

And if I could just finish FF7 (I'm at the end of the game) I could say something about it. But I'm too lazy to level up...

I'm very eager for Supreme Commander, but until that's released, Alley Cat will do.

Anybody ever play Europa Universalis II or any of the other Paradox games? Best strategy games ever made; at least I think so.

I enjoy both HoI1 and HoI2, and i'd like to get either EU2 or Victoria. Well, i'll have to find a copy first offcourse.

I'm a great fan of FPS's so games like Operation Flashpoint and Half Life are on my list too.

FPS: Half Life 2. Time?
RTS: Rome total Realism (mod for Rome total war)
Turn based strategy: Civ 2
RPG: Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2
3rd person shooter: Max Payne 2
Beat-em-up: Super Smash Bros Melee

Final Fantasy 7
Valkyrie Profile

The Monkey Island PC games, were the best games EVER. After those I'd say any of the Might & Magic Games excluding number 9.

Star Control 2 (this comes closest to being the best.)
Ultima IV through to VII
Xcom: UFO Defence
System Shock 2
Morrowind

Alpha Centauri (I find Civ I the most fun to play out of the Civ games, but Alpha Centauri is on par.)
Hearts of Iron II
Deus Ex
Baldurs Gate (the whole series)
ADOM
Elite
Knights of the Old Republic
Half Life I and II
X-Wing Alliance

Aliens Vs Predator


Could probably think of more, but meh.

Both Golden Sun games kick backsides, in great numbers.

Aye. I so wish they would make a 3rd game.

Or at least not limit any future games on the Gamecube or Revolution. :(

EU2 is better than Victoria. Victoria is okay, but it's too complicated - you're expected to manage individual population groups...it has a very steep learning curve (though it's easier when you realise that letting the computer handle trade is stupid, because it wastes all of your money on useless crap). You can almost jump straight in with EU2, though.

Mmorpg: WoW
Shooter: MoHAA
Online Shooter: Counter-Strike
Tactics: Mech-Commander I+II
Strategy: Starcraft
RPG: Neverwinter Nights
Beat-em up: Soul-Edge/Calibur series

Stupid crappy nintendo. GS would be eprfect if it did not rely on Nintendo platforms.

The only Nintendo system I like and use is the DS. And it rocks :D

I think the Elder Scroll games are. Morrowind was awesome and I look forward to Oblivion. Just if they'd make it multiplayer.
I vote most addicting game to be Diablo II online.

Ditto. My vote goes for Oblivion as well. The only real reason I'm gonna buy Xbox 360.

Bah, I'm fine with GBA games I haven't finished.

And I'm a PSP person myself. Must say I'm glad I can search porn from the comfort of my couch.

I look forward to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I loved Morrowind, so this should be good.

Hey!
I've just tried out morrowind, but I can't beat those monster not even the weakest ones. And i've got the best armor and weaponry I could find. :headbang:
Well I'll figure it out at some point ;)

Oblivion is the reason I'm saving up to build me a new PC :D

Strbovia: you need skills :)

The Monkey Island PC games, were the best games EVER. .
I absolutly agree.

Seconded. Bought Morrowind when it was released 3 years ago, still playing it today.

But in all seriousness, Halo. Hands down. (Could you guess from my name? ;) )

my personal favorite is starwars battle front. I love bing a snpier a just siting there and picking people off.

Clone snipers kick rear end. Clones in general kick rear end.

Super Mario Bros. 3!

Ugh - Don't tell me it's only available on Xbox.

It'll be on the 360 as well as the PC.

Clone snipers kick rear end. Clones in general kick rear end.

I disagree. they stand no chance against the drodikas. that's one of the games bigest flaws. in most of the battles it always swings in favor of the CIS no mater what. you have to realy kick ass to be the clones.

No, you have to really suck ass not to win! The EMP's, the Jedi Starfighters, and the support provided by the LAAT/i is incredible. The Droidekas aren't actually all that good. EMP, EMP, dead.

The only problem with Morrowind is that it's basically a broken game. There are so many ways to exploit it...

For example, stealing the soul gems in the mages guild in Balmora and exploiting that scamp in Caldera, to end up with some $100,000 after two days playtime...and then spending that on training all of your skills.

And then when you're buff enough, going down to Vivec and taunting some Ordinators into attacking you and then selling their armour...and repeating the training process.

And then off hunting old tombs for Daedric armour, and you're unstoppable, even with the difficulty slider maxed.

It's a shame, really...I figured all this out in the first couple of days playtime, which almost ruined it for me. :(

Of course, you can always refrain from exploiting it...but it takes ages to get anywhere otherwise. And it's still fun to squash everything that comes against you. :D

Get fixes. Morrowind summit and the like are full of them, and more. Nothing beats the satisfaction of smashing your way through Dagoth Ur's minions in an epic battle, then using the Heart of Lorkhan to become a god. nothing. Of course, you need the GoDMoD to do that :D

I assume, you knew where to sell stuff at? So in other words, you went into playing the game cheating??

Ditto. My vote goes for Oblivion as well. The only real reason I'm gonna buy Xbox 360.
Forget the Xbox 360. Buy the PC version instead!

You must be playing on easy. ON hard, your teammates arn't that smart, so they just shoot at it they get mowed down by the Drodika fire.

I assume, you knew where to sell stuff at? So in other words, you went into playing the game cheating??

Nope, not at all. I found the scamp in Caldera while exploring randomly. (If there are others, that's the only one I know. Maybe I should kill it so I don't get the temptation.)

Forget the Xbox 360. Buy the PC version instead!

Some of us don't have the needed requirements for the PC version.

Like me, for instance. I'd need to get a new videocard and a new soundcard, which, all in all, would probably cost me more than the 360. Plus, my loyalty to the box compells me to buy the 360. :D

Hmm. I'll look it up. I only have the original version, though, no expansion packs.

Nope, not at all. I found the scamp in Caldera while exploring randomly. (If there are others, that's the only one I know. Maybe I should kill it so I don't get the temptation.)

Well, the scamp only buys 5k a day, I presumed you also found the mudcrab if you had 100k after two days GP.

You must be playing on easy. ON hard, your teammates arn't that smart, so they just shoot at it they get mowed down by the Drodika fire.

I play on hard, and am SHOCKED that you would accuse me of saying a game is easy when playing ont he easy mode. Shocking.

Nope, not at all. I found the scamp in Caldera while exploring randomly. (If there are others, that's the only one I know. Maybe I should kill it so I don't get the temptation.)

There's also the talking mudcrab, with 10,000, and buys things for their face value.

Along with countless merchants in Mournhold with over 10,000...

Though I once successfully beat Dagoth Ur without having all the pieces to destroy the heart. He ressurrects though.

Hmm. I'll look it up. I only have the original version, though, no expansion packs.

Godmod only needs the original, and is great fun once you get powered up.... Your first task as a god has you fighting your way out of Dagoth Ur... Priceless :D

Well, the scamp only buys 5k a day, I presumed you also found the mudcrab if you had 100k after two days GP.

Aha, nope. I used a bit of brainpower and sold a bunch of small items in 5k increments...then used them to balance out the transaction back down to 5k when selling the soul gem, then sold them back individually.

It really was cheating, but I figured out the cheat on my own, so "exploiting" would be a better word.

...Mudcrab?

Though the bulk of the fun is spell creating and enchanting. I had created a spell with my lvl 99 mage that could destroy all of Vivec if I was levitating.

EDIT outside of the cantons obviously.

Heh - I haven't even gotten that far yet - I was only just up to that Ashlander camp in the north (In Blades Quests...i'd been doing a lot of the smaller faction quests.)

I'm going to start playing again. Doing it properly, this time. :p

Yea SE of Vivec. There's the Daedric shrine, head east to the isle with the dwewmer place, straight SE there's an island with a mudcrab

I play on hard, and am SHOCKED that you would accuse me of saying a game is easy when playing ont he easy mode. Shocking.

oh, well I guess i just suck at it... but I still say that the droids are the best.

i forgot about Final Fantasy and its AMUT or "don't shut up" spell.
http://seanbaby.com/nes/useless.htm

No. If you download the Kashyyk jungle warfare map and fly around in an LAAT/i you can smash the droids with ease. It's funny watching them flee from your uberguns of terror.

Yea SE of Vivec. There's the Daedric shrine, head east to the isle with the dwewmer place, straight SE there's an island with a mudcrab

Ehh. They shouldn't have included those in the game.

South of Balmora and across the river is a mine enter a bit then leave. travel to Vivec, in the St. Olms canton I believe you enter the haunted place. Pick the lock, talk to one of the guys and he'll give you any daedric weapon.

Best Adventure: Monkey Island: LeChuck's Revenge/Curse of Monkey Island/Sam & Max Hit the Road (I just find it so hard to choose one of them that's best).
Best FPS: Undetermined. And I don't care what anyone else might say, after playing it a couple of times, Half-Life 2 just felt old.
Best TPS: Max Payne 2.
Best RTS: Unsure. I used to be good at this genre and really appreciate it but I haven't seen anything good and original for a while (Rise of Nations was ok I guess and Empire Earth II was just, for lack of a better term, Rise of Nations). Best TBS: X-Com 1/2. Hands down. I think that Terror from the Deep is underrated; I see so many people say 'Its just like X-Com with new graphics'. Personally, I feel comparisons of the two are like comparing, say, Thunderbirds (though, say, Captain Scarlet may be a better analogy) and Stingray.Best Survival Horror: Undetermined. Never played Alone in the Dark and have limited Silent Hill experience so I can't really compare the Resident Evil games to something else.
Best RPG: System Shock 2/Planescape: Torment/Baldurs Gate (But I'm still waiting for a high quality RPG that also has turn-based combat.)
Best Sports/Driving/Simulation: Don't know, don't care.

Forget the Xbox 360. Buy the PC version instead!

There's speculation that the Xbox 360 has three 3.2 ghz processors, meaning nine point six ghz!!. A computer that powerful would be super expensive. And mine right now, I'd have to sacrifice graphics quality to play it at all. On the 'box I don't have to do that.

Some of us don't have the needed requirements for the PC version.

Like me, for instance. I'd need to get a new videocard and a new soundcard, which, all in all, would probably cost me more than the 360. Plus, my loyalty to the box compells me to buy the 360. :D
Yeah you can say that, but I oppose the whole idea of game consoles. Whoever thought they would be okay for sale in Europe must have been completley out of his mind :headbang: . Besides, in some nations, game consoles are rearely found on the shelves, not because they're completly unknown, but because everyone there prefers to buy games for the PC.

South of Balmora and across the river is a mine enter a bit then leave. travel to Vivec, in the St. Olms canton I believe you enter the haunted place. Pick the lock, talk to one of the guys and he'll give you any daedric weapon.

I think I remember that lock- I was down there killing the monsters down there and trapping them in soul gems. Isn't it a really high skill level one?

...and stop telling me cheaty secrets! :p

Well, you would, actually...most TV screens can only support relatively low resolutions, so the PC version would probably look better.

Golden eye rogue agent is good game on ps2 if you want a challenge. it's a spin of from the james bond series. It's website is eagames.co.uk/bond . Tell me what you think of my choice.

Well, you would, actually...most TV screens can only support relatively low resolutions, so the PC version would probably look better.

You do have a point, but I think the resolution you lost from the tv would be less than the loss of 6 ghz of processing power.

Funny how everybody just mentions legacy games... I've been playing games since the first Prince of Persia came out in 1989, and eventhough the ideas get recycled all the time, some of the newer games are really good...

My personal all-time-favourites, ordered chronologically:

Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri
Starcraft (and especially the extension)
Warcraft III (and extension, though I didn't really like the multiplayer part here)
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (although the newest one, Warrior Within, is not that bad either)
World of Warcraft

Yea SE of Vivec. There's the Daedric shrine, head east to the isle with the dwewmer place, straight SE there's an island with a mudcrab

It's actually easier to go to Suran, head east towards the mountains and then along the coast. Head south out towards the water and you'll see the dwemer ruins. On a tiny island east of that, the mudcrab merchant will appear.

Fallout 2

I think I remember that lock- I was down there killing the monsters down there and trapping them in soul gems. Isn't it a really high skill level one?

...and stop telling me cheaty secrets! :p

Goto Gnissis, S-SE is one of those square fort things with the propylon chamber. Go in, it has lots of daedric monsters, so have a good weapon. Keep going down into the cave and there's the best light boots in the game, plus with levitation.

Make sure you check behind the bins in the room where you catch corprus, there are the best heavy glove in the game.

In, Tel Fyre, there a room to the left of Dyraith Fyre, pick the 100lock wardrobe for the best light armor in the game.

Do the Temple chain of quests to the end, you'll travel to Mt.Assinabi for the best medium armor in the game.

Go to the cave under Ebonheart, kill the dude for the best heavy armor in the game.

I know it all

PS. The Telvanni house yo get is the coolest, but the Hlaalu is the most convenient.

Prince of Persia was my favourite game. When I saw it in colour I nearly cried.

You do have a point, but I think the resolution you lost from the tv would be less than the loss of 6 ghz of processing power.

Ah, I just looked it up. They're PowerPC cores, the same as those used on the Macintosh. While the Ghz rating is nice, what really counts is the numbercrunching ability, and it won't match up to the PC processors of the time.

Have a look at how a 1.8ghz AMD-64 can out-compete a 3ghz Pentium 4, for example.

PS. The Telvanni house yo get is the coolest, but the Hlaalu is the most convenient.

Hmm. I'm in House Redoran, though.

Hmm. I'm in House Redoran, though.

I actually once stumbled on a way to be in two houses, though the second has to be Hlaalu.

EU2 is better than Victoria. Victoria is okay, but it's too complicated - you're expected to manage individual population groups...it has a very steep learning curve (though it's easier when you realise that letting the computer handle trade is stupid, because it wastes all of your money on useless crap). You can almost jump straight in with EU2, though. Victoria has a dauntingly steep learning curve, it's definitely a game that's been designed to appeal to hardcore Paradox veterans. It took me a while to get a hang of Victoria even though I'd been playing EUII for years, but once I did I feel in love with it. Victoria is much deeper, more realistic, and emersive than any other Paradox game. But EUII is of course the classic Paradox game; it's the most enjoyable and stable of the Paradox games and it's the one I always find myself coming back to. Crusader Kings is alot of fun too, even if it's a bug ridden mess; it has a really brilliant, ambitious design.

Tenchu series.

You are a bad ass stealth ninja sneaking up on EVERYONE and killing them. The only thing that makes stealth worth while is stealth for the purpose of slitting throats

Thief: The Dark Project.....i don't know thats its the best game ever made but its certainly my favorite. Its kinda old (late 90's) but there are tonnes of fan missions still being made and the replay value is good aswell. The Metal Age and Deadly Shadows are good sequels but just aren't quite as good as the original. Just my opinion.

Get the vampire embrace mod, become a vampire and create your own clan. Nothing but becoming a god beats invading Vivec with an army of the undead :D

Oh, I like Victoria. It just took me a long time to get any good at it...(and sometimes it's luck. If you're the first nation to build a machine parts factory, by being fortunate enough to have the right technologies presented to you, watch the money come rolling in...I turned the Netherlands into a virtual superpower.)

HOI2 is more fun, in my opinion...except i've misplaced my CD. :(

Get the vampire embrace mod, become a vampire and create your own clan. Nothing but becoming a god beats invading Vivec with an army of the undead :D

No the best is to get a good charm spell. Charm everyone in Vivic, take them to the Arena. Then charm a vampire, bring him/her and watch the show. My brother did that once. It was great.

Goto Gnissis, S-SE is one of those square fort things with the propylon chamber. Go in, it has lots of daedric monsters, so have a good weapon. Keep going down into the cave and there's the best light boots in the game, plus with levitation.

Make sure you check behind the bins in the room where you catch corprus, there are the best heavy glove in the game.

In, Tel Fyre, there a room to the left of Dyraith Fyre, pick the 100lock wardrobe for the best light armor in the game.

Do the Temple chain of quests to the end, you'll travel to Mt.Assinabi for the best medium armor in the game.

Go to the cave under Ebonheart, kill the dude for the best heavy armor in the game.

I know it all

PS. The Telvanni house yo get is the coolest, but the Hlaalu is the most convenient.

The rewards you get for House Telvanni are also the best. IE: Ariel's Bow, Daedric armor with a feather enchantment, countless enchanted amulets and rings.

eh, my mage can also punch anything twice and kill it. ;)
That's hilarious to watch

Heh! Gladiatorial fights between undead demonic masters of combat and Vvardenfell's most superstitious peasants is obviously a hoot :D

Morrowind, definately, if given aroung 500 hours and three characters, is the best game ever. Else, you can't argue against it. Always finding new quests and funny ass shit in it.

old school: Tecmo Bowl

new: SOCOM series

"You gotta help me out, I need the money. I got booze!"

"I'm creeping!"

"I'm here all week!"

God I love the Creeper. Scamps rule.

Monkey Island 2: Lechuck's Revenge, or possibly Streets of Rage 2.

Nothing beats knocking an ordinator out and watching his legs buckle.

Well maybe one thing, killing the great bull netch with a fork, to get the best spear in the game.

Ah, I just looked it up. They're PowerPC cores, the same as those used on the Macintosh. While the Ghz rating is nice, what really counts is the numbercrunching ability, and it won't match up to the PC processors of the time.

Have a look at how a 1.8ghz AMD-64 can out-compete a 3ghz Pentium 4, for example.

Well, either way I don't have the money for a new PC, so it doesn't matter much anyway.

Recently my votes been changed to Kingdom Hearts i just want to know your oppinions. plus i'm looking for some new games to try

geez.... Play more games. That choice is utterly pathetic. Even Zelda: Ocarina of Time has a better game engine, and more comprehensible story. Kingdom hearts is nothing but a game based around cameos.

It's not the best game, but it certainly is a light-hearted fun game. I enjoyed it a lot.

And I just don't like Zelda at all anyway.

The best pc games are the whole sims collection

Monkey Island 2: Lechuck's Revenge, or possibly Streets of Rage 2.


haha, Streets of Rage 2! I remember that game like it was yesterday.... such a good game too. I used to play as Skate, purely for the novelty value. I'm sure I have it lying around SOMEWHERE too.

Best TBS: Civilization III and Heroes of Might and Magic IV (HoMM III is too unbalanced)
Best RTS: Warcraft III and Rise of Nations
Best RPG: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II and I (if you're into just hack-and-slash try Diablo II and Neverwinter Nights)

I don't play a lot of FPS but Unreal Tournament 2004 is pretty good.

Final Fantasy VII. By far.

Yes, but you made a topic saying "BEST video game ever". Then nominated a choice saying "its not the best game". This is why I said play more games. There are plenty of other better "light-hearted fun games" that you probably don't even know about such as Disgaea and etc that are clearly superior.

KOTOR I and II, Diablo I and II and Red Alert 2 and Tiberian Sun are old school style games gone new.

Best Open ended RGP- The Elder Scrolls III- Morrowind
Best linear RPGs- Neverwinter Knights with all expansions and Star Wars; Knights of the Old Republic
Best free online game-Nationstates
Best MMORPG- World of Warcraft
Best TBSs- Galactic Civilizations followed closely by Civilization III: Conquests
Best RTSs: Starcraft: Broodwars and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Best FPSs- Halo and Halo 2
Best 3rd person shooter- Mercenaries
Best Action/Adventure games- Zelda: The Windwaker and Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Best City Building Game: Sim City 2 (my first non-educational pc game)

Oh, easily mroe than that. I'd say I've put in at least 5000 hours into it, created over 100 characters, beat the main quest 15 times, Tribunal and bloodmoon at least 5 times each, still haven't completed all the guild quests with one character, still finding cool stuff (see: lusty argonian maid). To me, it's the best RPG ever, and Oblivion is shaping up to be the RPG of our dreams. However, this all could just be over-hyping it. (See Fable :p )

Hmmm...

Best TBS: Good ol' Master of Magic, then Master of Orion 2
Best FPS: Thief series, followed by Half-Life series, then UT (original).
Best RTS: I hate these, but the original Command and Conquer gets my vote, just for the laser obelisks. :)
Best Simulation, 1st person: Freespace 1&2
Best Simulation, 3rd person: Sim City 2000
Best Adventure: Neverwinter Nights + sequels, Morrowind is cool too ( if you have Moogles! (http://machall.com/mog/) :D )
Best MMORPG: Well, Second Life doesn't really count, so... Jumpgate
Best Multiplayer, smack-talk your fellow players while utterly screwing them Game: M.U.L.E. :D (boy, I just dated myself, didn't I...)

Say, why are they called RPG's on computers? There isn't the slightest bit of role-playing involved... aren't they more 'adventure games'?

Have you found a certain cave with a certain movie character’s bones crushed under a bolder?

doom, things were never the same after it. That or sim city2.
