half life 2/ far cry... damn it's sad we got to revert way back then.

Don't get me wrong I loved it... And it kept me dropping a lot of cash on the latest graphics card so I could turn up the eye candy! But I would have thought by now game evolution would have made another leap forward in technology. Yes it's a matter of time when farcry will be just another pacman but.... Damn this thread makes me want to play it again! It really was / is very fun to play. Installed it a few times just for kicks and probably will again!

:D

last was Unreal 1, before that was Jedi Knight, before that KQ5 after sending in my EGA disk 1 and $10 and getting the VGA version.. man 256 colors was amazing compared to 16.

Played fun stuff since then, but nothing jaw dropping that's for sure. Maybe that Planetary Annihilation will do it.
