Between C&C 1, Duke Nuke 'Em 3D, and Mechwarrior 2, I'll say Mechwarrior 2 was my favorite. Far and away the best Mechwarrior game of the series. :thumbsup: :beer:

Wow, no one posted my fave...
Daggerfall - Spent WAY too much time playing that.

But very close seconds would be
Money Island series
Sim City 2k
Doom2
Nibbles (haxored code)
Lemmings

Harpoon was one of my favorites that I didn't see mentioned here.

EDIT: But its impossible to say any of these was my one favorite. There are just too many good games here. I think more emphasis went into the game then necessarily on the graphics back then.
