Deus Ex
Warcraft 2
Starcraft

Baldur's Gate(s)

Best 2 PLAYER games of all time (not in order and quickly done):

1) Bloodwych and bloodwych extended levels (Amiga,ST)
2) Supercars 2 (Amiga,ST)
3) Speedball and Speedball 2 (Amiga,ST)
4) Kick off 2 (Amiga,ST)
5) Quake II (Playstation)
6) Perfect Dark (N64)
7) MarioKart (Snes)
8) Streetfighter 2 (Snes)
9) Bruce Lee (Speccy)
10) ScubaDive (Speccy)

Those that recognise the phrases "come and join my merry band", "thou art a utter oaf", "thou seems unnaturally splendid" etc. will agree with bloodwych being THE all time great.
 
1.) Myth: The Fallen Lords
2.) Out of this World
3.) Flashback
4.) Prince of Persia
5.) Resident Evil: Code Veronica
 
The games that I've played the most and gained the most enjoyment out of over these past few years would have to be:

Streetfighter 2 Turbo (Sega)
Doom 1 shareware (I was SOOO impressed and excited the first time I played that - it was on a P90 as well 😀)
Half Life
Rainbow 6/Rogue Spear (I played Rainbow 6 online for a year solid, and Rogue Spear almost as long. They're still the most fun I've ever had in online gaming, and the community in general was great.)

I'm now board of Rogue Spear. I play CounterStrike quite a lot, which is fun, but IMHO not as good as Rainbow 6 when I was really into it. Also play a bit of Quake 3 and Unreal tournament.

I'm holding out for Team Fortess 2 though. I hated the first one, but the second looks great. Here's hoping that Valve can deliver the goods. This year would be nice as well 😉
 
Grim Fandango - Adventure
Unreal Tournament - FPS
Baldur's Gate (1 and 2) - RPG (These are probably the only RPG's I've played besides maybe Diablo and some shareware crap. You can also throw in Deus Ex, if you want to count for RPG)

Soon-to-be Best Game (or at least RPG)
Arcanum
 
C O U N T E R- S T R I K E.. Waiting for Global Ops. and Halo demo.

Global ops is gonna rock(created by makers of Counter-strike)
