This thread concerns games that you feel like your the last person to play. My game is "The Alamo", a RTS game made by "The History Channel". It's accually quite fun, and simulates squad combat of the time nicely. It allows you to command units, plus heroes like Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett, William Barret Travis, Stephen Austin, Sam Houston, and many more. There are ten historical missions, including the famous Battle of the Alamo. Plus you can unlock an alternate timeline by acually WINNING The Battle of the Alamo. Even though it's fun, the game isn't around anymore, and it isn't even on the Wikipedia. Here is another link though: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/g/pc_games/history_channel_the_alamo_fight_for_independence/overview.php
Anyone else have games that they feel lonely playing?

Street Shuffle - a Windows 3.1 puzzle game where you had to rearrange tiles with pieces of road on them to cover as much distance as possible from start to end with your cab, making money to refuel and upgrade your vehicle to cross more hazardous types of road. Of course there's a time limit and if you don't have a complete road going on you'll crash, meaning you have to pay for repairs. It's game over when you're out of money and your cab is totalled.

Spaceward Ho! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceward,_Ho!) a cute, simple game of exploration and conquest!

Dungeon of Doom! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dungeon_Revealed)

I will give a whole plate of tacos to anyone else who has ever played this game.

Tread Marks, for one. But I don't play anymore.

Can't say I have played it, but darn I would like those tacos.......ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

There was a Civil War game for the Win98 platform series I played. It was a board game like thing where you moved each hexagonal pieces of soldiers around the board and would show scenes from reenactments at every battle scene. I think you always played the South and had to fight the North. Wish I could find that again.

Loom.

I consider it the greatest game ever made. Too bad only very few people share that sentiment. :(

I love Loom.

The Second Conflict, and "Conflict, Middle East".

God, I loved that game. But it's SOOOO old. I haven't played it in years, but I still have my disc somewhere.

Are you refering to Conflict: The Middle-East Political Simulator, A game in which you take the role of running Israel?

For me its a game called Crack Attack

I used to think I was the only one who played Zeus: Master of Olympus. Then I found out my friend Colby plays it, too, and I was like, "Great! I play the same game as a crazy, sadistic homosexual."

Heros 3, Total Annihilation.

Of my friends I'm pretty much the only one that plays Starcraft on a regular basis, but I know that the game is seen as Jesus in Korea.

A great game indeed. Along the same vein, I'm currently playing Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders.

Strange Adventures in Infinite Space.

Transport Tycoon. A simulator game whre you run a transport company and use trains, ships, planes, and road vehicles. DOS, 1994, but I play a clone.

System Shock 2, although I'm aware of others who have played it. There was a project going there to update all the meshes and textures. I wonder what happened to it...

On a personal note, I found out a little late that Dark Engine games do not like Multi-Processors :P

Full of abandonware and such. System Shock 2 is on there, maybe a few of the others mentioned as well. I've never looked especially deeply.

For me it's twofold: X-Com UFO Defense (there's a patch for it to make it work for XP) and Missionforce: CyberStorm. Both are turn-based squad level and, well, if you don't know about X-Com you don't deserve to call yourself a gamer.

Grim Fandango.

Solitaire, No one plays that anymore, do they?

Spaceward Ho! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceward,_Ho!) a cute, simple game of exploration and conquest!

It's not bad.

Tread Marks, for one. But I don't play anymore.

Sounds familiar...

So many US Civil War games like that, but it could be Civil War Generals 2 (http://www.gamesfirst.com/reviews/rick/CWG2/CWG2.htm). Maybe Sid Meiers Gettysburg, but I don't think that was hex based.

That game is good fun. :)

Strange Adventures in Infinite Space.

Hell yeah, awesome game. :D

One of the best games ever.

I didn't like CyberStorm much, but I still play X-Com every now and then. :)

I shouldn't think many people still play old amiga games: SWOS, The Settlers, Knights, Flashback.

On the pc, I was one of the few players of Codename:Eagle, I shouldn't think many more than a hundred people ever played it. Awesome multiplayer as well.

For me its a game called Crack Attack
Crack attack wins! As does nethack and colossal cave!

I'm not sure how many people still regularly play Doom, but I'm one. Quake 1 too. Warcraft and Warcraft 2 I played a few months ago. I'm probably going to play Thief: The Dark Project later today, I just found my CD for it, although it's not that old.

I used to play Doom all the time, till my laptop screen broke.

I was playing the first Final Fnatasy a little while ago. I never really figured out what the story was.

Lords of the Rising Sun relly old amiga game based on the Minamoto

Grim Fandango.

It's pretty good; the dialogue is good.

Solitaire, No one plays that anymore, do they?

Dude, I play a ton of Solitaire.

...hmmm, when I say it like that it sounds sad...




Gladius was mine. There was a small group of us that played it, but I think we where the only ones, so no Gladius II for me. Sigh.

Heros 3, Total Annihilation.

Of my friends I'm pretty much the only one that plays Starcraft on a regular basis, but I know that the game is seen as Jesus in Korea.

Lol, its the national sport of Korea.

I think they have a tv chanel that is only about Starcraft.

X-Com rawks!

I play Aerobiz on the Super Nintendo. I bet not a lot of people are playing that game these days.

SimuTrans, or FreeTTD?

Some legendary stuff on there, but there's a lorra lorra crap too.

However now that it's .info and hasn't been updated in over a year, a lot of people don't go on it any more and the download speed is quite high (used to be bleddy awful).

Aaaah X-Com. It's fantastic, even if the second was irredemably hard. And the third was duuull.

But yes, the original was superb, and I've played and completed it many a time :D
Grim Fandango.
Great game.

"Hmm, daisies. For some reason, I was expecting petunias."

Heros 3, Total Annihilation.

I LOVE Starcraft. Whats your name on it? I might have played you before. Miene is Von_Moltke

I do every now and then, for a bit of fun. :)

That was actually it. And I found it Abandonware.

Yay! :)

SimuTrans, or FreeTTD?

If FreeTTD means OpenTTD, then yeah. I tried playing Simutrans once, but I never got any passengers.
