On the HardOCP forums there's a thread about what your favorite PC game is. Well, I've played so many that I had to make a list. I'll require a similar list from everyone in here. Here is mine:
01. System Shock (the best game ever)
02. Ultima 8 (the game that got me into the Ultima series and still my favorite despite everyone else's opinions of it)
03. Quake 3 Arena (best pure shooter ever, perfect play balance, fast and simple)
04. System Shock 2 (most immersive "modern" game)
05. Ultima 7 Black Gate and Serpent Isle (with expansions)
06. Syndicate (best action strategy game ever)
07. Star Control 2
08. Al Qadim: The Genie's Curse (simple but immersive RPG)
09. Quest for Glory Series (spent countless hours with these on my XTs, 286s, and now I'm playing them again, these are the reason I originally bought a soundblaster (version 1.0))
10. Leisure Suit Larry Series (silliest games)
11. Unreal (original in single player)
12. The rest of the Ultima series
13. The Omnicron Conspiracy (one of Epyx's last games, and a very cool futuristic action/adventur/RPG thingy)
14. Lucas Arts adventures (Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, Indianna Jones, etc.)
The rest of id and Raven's games should be somewhere in this list, but I'll just let Quake 3 represent all of them.
PC Games...

My list would likely be:
1. Cycles3D
2. Porrasturvat
3. Rekkaturvat
okay, okay... you wanted a serious answer. While those are all grrrreat games, these are the ones that I have had the most unadulterated PC fun with at the time. (I'm just sorry but order is something I cannot do):
- Wolfenstein 3D
- Rise of the Triad
- Doom
- Heretic
- Full Throttle
- Quake (all 3)
- Half Life / Counterstrike
- Warcraft series
- Motocross Madness series
- BF1942

- Dungeon Siege

I should also tack on Wing Commander I and II. I don't like them after that, except Privateer. (which isn't Wing Commander proper) I still have my original Privateer CD. I should play it sometime. I'd actually like to play the first two Wing Commander games sometime, so perhaps I'll have to add them (plus expansions) to my AW collection. Thanks for the reminder!
I'll kick in, bored today cuz we’re moving to a new building this weekend.
