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:

[ZetaEpyon]

Command & Conquer for sure.

 

[DainBramaged]

Civilization, Covert Action, Colonization

Any of those.

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

EDIT: and Zork anything

 

[geecee]

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.

 

[azilaga]

definitely doom

 

[wfbberzerker]

maybe not my favorite, but i gotta list Ascendancy, cuz it hasn't been mentioned yet.
