B'ah! Easily solved using Connectix VGS Emulator and the Playstation version! And if you wanna keep your PSX controller on your pc then buy a PSX to PC converter like I did!

My top games (in any order)

Ultima III and IV(C-64)
Archon I and II (C-64)
The Pool of radiance (c-64)
Below The Root (c-64)
Oubliette (c-64)
Ultima 7 (PC)
Planescape Torment (PC)
Tie Fighter (PC)
Half-Life and Mod (CS !!)(PC)
System Shock (PC)
Final Fantasy 7 (PC)
Diablo I (PC)
Gabriel Knight II (beast within) (PC)
I have no mouth and I must scream (PC)

Theres a lot that i must be forgetting but those are for various reasons the first that comes in mind, either for storyline or breaking a new styles (which we kinda lack now...)

[jackzod]

Damm if forgot one..

OUT OF THIS WORLD !!! (PC)

Grand Prix Legends, I have been playing it for over 3 years daily and still do, but I'm still improving my driving skills in this simulator.

I'm still hoping for surround gaming support for GPL, which will look like in this movie.

OK then, in no particular order and grouping some by brand/type etc:

1. C&C/RA (PC, count Dune II with this)
2. The Beyond (C-64, Dutch text adventure. FInd the devils fork and put it in the ground where the three holes are before 0.00 hours to close the gate to hell )
3. Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe (Amiga, how could anyone miss this one?)
4. Jumpman (C-64, I liked this one way better then I did loderunner (which is amazingly absent BTW))
5. Defender o/t Crown (Amiga. OK, not so gr8 now, but a revelation at the time. Also, you could save and marry a damesel, which is missing from LotR I and II (which were gr8 too))
6. Fighter Ace (PC, have been playing this for some time now).
7. Betrayal at Kronder (PC, playing this game got me into reading fantasy....)
8. One Must Fall 2097 (PC, some even manage to get this running under windows, I never succeeded. SOme even now how to play this online... wish I did )
9 & 10. Need to think about this, I'll edit l8er...

I was able to run OMF on win2k

[jackzod]

There's one game coming back to my mind

Blue Max on the c-64, it was one good attemp at 3D perspective.
(it was an WWII plane shooter)

[Umfriend]

OH MY GAWD!!!! Blue Max is my #9 on the list...How could I've missed that one....

wasn´t that the prequel to flashback, and was also called "another world" in some countries?

[thop]

yep.

I used to play Dune II all the time, but then I tried C&C and I didn't like it. Probably because it was more of the same.

I also love the Romance of the Three Kingdom series, but there hasn't been a PC version since IV (but that sucked) and all the Playstation versions are in every single Asian language except the one I can read.

[Umfriend]

OK, #9 is Blue Max (thx to jackzod).

#10 is "Pitstop II", C-64. Way kewl 2 player racing sim. Even went on national TV with it LOL

(christian broadcasting company, and I went "shit!" and "f***!" during the first two rounds as I was trailing my opponent.... They cut out most of it and showed mostly only the last lap where I was in front and behaved.... )

Some of my favs not mentioned...

Ultima Underworld I & II
Riven
Sam n Max Hit the Road
Journemany Project - Buried in Time
Leisure Suit Larry Series

I'm really pissed EA has pushed back the release of SimCity 4 to January. Who the hell cares about The Sims?? Really??

Edit: Shit, how could I forget Neverhood! Goes for big bucks on eBay nowadays.
