1 - Mech Warrior 4 et al
Best online community ever, best strategy based game ever, best PVP ever and best fun playing.
2 - EvE Online
Its like a MMO, for growned ups.
3 - WoW
I should suffer agony for this, but the game is very well put togeather and there are some challenges (other than making sure your huntard has enough ammo, food, pots, bandages, etc)
4 - Railroad Tycoon
Love this game to bits >_< nothing like creating a fully flowing rail network.
5 - Homeworld 2
Yay!
I LIKE ARK!

Oldest to newest
1. Star Wars X-Wing Fighter - Waaay back in the day when you had to know how to work DOS. Never mind if it was in the star wars universe that early joystick combat sim was just plain awsome!
2. Lemmings - Ecrack
3. Freespace 1 and 2 - In my opinion its still the best space combat sim, god I wish the company didnt go bust.
4. Elder Scrolls 3 and 4 - I didnt get into this before 3 but it was still fun, and even more so because of the mod community.
5. EvE Online - In a little over a year ive logged more hours on this game than any other game ive played so something must be happening here. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

1. Eve-online - i dont throw countless time and money at this for it not to be the best game ever.
2. Half Life - ive never put the cheats in faster than any game, just to kill the scientists in the begining countless times and cry laughing doing it.
3. System Shock 2 - frankly the most bone chilling game ive ever played and the most engrossing. Me and my dad used to play this together with him reading me the walkthrough... father son bonding game heh
4. Half life, Firearms mod: Was number 1 in the UK for awhile with this online mod
5. Mech Commander - Sweetz0rs and first online game i ever played. PPC 4tw!
-----
Ive 10 so il mention these too!
6. Half life 2 - again best fps this side of the millenium.
7. Total Annilation, must have sunk weeks worth of game time into this when i first had it.
8. C&C Original, first played it on the Sega Saturn, was cool. Obelisks 4tw! :D
9. Legend of Zelda - Link to the past, best SNES game i ever played.
10. This is a toughy, but its a cross between Manic Miner and Cannon Fodder, just games i watched my dad play when i was a kid.

1. The Cloudless Haberdashery of Edified Horsemanship (post patch 1.42 that is, before that it's way too bugged and unbalanced)
2. Hydrophone Oscillatory Groundnut 1 (parts 2 and 3 really sucked though, they truly lost the plot there)
3. Muskellunge: Patronymic Bloated Wainscots (absolutely brilliant, after 12 years of hardcore playing, I still don't seem to tire of it)
4. The Wonderment of the Runty Palindrome IV (a close contender was part VII, but I'm going with part IV because I love how hoggish the epicycloids are in this one)
5. Disharmonious Parallax, Encrusted Protraction (a seminal release that inspired countless of other games, and single-handedly spawned a whole new subgenre of pashm judicature)

Elite (amstrad 464, 1987) (without it there'd be no Eve) Syndicate (PC, 1993) (just because it was my first PC game) Morrowind (PC, 2002) S.T.A.L.K.E.R (PC, 2007, but only when patched) GTA Vice City. (pc version, 2001) (dated graphics, awful mouse control, inspired music and atmosphere.)
odd that almost all my games are sandboxes.

1. EVE online - we all know why its on the list. 2. Pre-NGE SWG, first MMO I played, brilliant game + community 3. HL2 + GMod, awesome storyline + concepts so fun! 4. Battlefield series, all the way from 1942-2142, 2 (and SF) was brill but my account stopped working so play 2142 now. 5. C&C, tib-sun - first one I really got into (not that RA was bad or anything) and then everything after that, with generals 0-hour being the highlight for me.
In no real order.

Originally by: Splagada Edited by: Splagada on 07/08/2008 11:12:09 1-Battlezone I (the 3D version) (not the wireframe arcade) You could pack your entire base and move on, produce, get minerals from shooting people, even snipe the pilots to take their ships, leave your ship to continue by foot etc
Wow, I thought I was the only person on the planet that would put Battlezone as the top game of all time.
1. Battlezone - Just amazing in every element for it's time. The story to me was very original and was introduced while playing in a very realistic fashion. Great graphics and immersion. Absolutely amazing soundtrack. Great combination of FPS and strategy. Hands down the best game ever imo. Way ahead of it's time.
2. Quake - Just a step up in FPS's at the time. Blew my mind away.
3. Virtual Fighter II - The whole series is great but I had the most fun with 2 in particular.
4. Rampart - Probably the most timeless gameplay of all time.
5. Dune II - The 1st of one of my favorite genres of video games. All props to westwood, not much changed in the RTS world till Total Annihilation, and most RTS still follow the Dune II formula.

1) Eve Online (Obviously) 2) Diablo (Still playing it after all these years multiplayer :P) 3) Chuckie Egg (BBC Micro) - Some of you won't even remember that but it is legendary >:) 4) Homeworld 5) Can't decide between Call of Duty 4, Red Alert, Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, System Shock, Civilisation, Ultima Online and BF2142. Could probably think of a few more and that's before even considering consoles.

This is difficult for me because I've played so many great ones. From oldest to newest:
Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter - It was a tossup between this and earlier games like Hunt for Red October and Ace of Aces and all the other games I played on Apple II. I picked this one because I still remember my friend and I spending hours on his Tandy trying to figure out how to get out of the space ship.
Diablo: This was the first game I played Online and my entry into the Online world. For that reason I had to pick it. Also the first time I had heard about a guild and managed a rather successful one{PK-M} then created {M-M}. Doom and Wolfenstin might fit here but Diablo was much more influential to me. Ultima Online: Moved {M-M} Over to Ultima Online Atlantic server. Played for a few years guild disbanded because my boat with guild stone sank whilst on vacation. Ended up on Europa RPing with the Guardsmen of Yew.
Star Wars Galaxies: Probably still one of my favorite MMOs. However lost interest in it when the developers abandoned reason and logic and turned it into World of Warcraft clone. Founded Space PvP (Character Admiral: Gwreng Masnachwr) on Starsider which was then modeled to a number of different servers. Still probably the best MMO, for crafting, exploring, expanse, and setting. I've always enjoyed Star Wars, and any other Star Wars game could really fit here.
EVE Online: I would say that this is probably the best MMO on the market at the moment. I think it does a good job of balancing complexity, as well as creating a rich environment for the players to explore. Whilst I am not into PvP this game harkens back to the early days of Ultima Online to me, where there was some risk in travelling, and the potential to lose a lot of expensive stuff and the great reward you got when you either bested or escaped your attackers. I had thought about putting Tabula Rasa here simply because it had a pretty big impact on me in terms of playing MMOs. Not for the good mind you, reminded me too much of a weak version of World of Warcraft, and really put me off creating a guild or clan in any other MMO I might play in the future.

Ultima VII I can't believe that nobody has mentioned this yet. This was the first game I properly 'owned' on a PC, way back in 1992, on a 386sx with 4MB ram. The depth was amazing, you actually had a sense of scale when traveling, and it was so easy to get into a sub-plot (which actually helped the main plot, and wasn't some weird afterthought).
Diablo II Probably the first multiplayer game I lost a lot of hours to. Me and my friends spending hours over Battle.net, trawling through dungeons and getting all the items (way before cheating/hacking was cool).
Homeworld The first game that brought me close to tears. The whole Adagio for Strings at the intro, and the drawn intro.
Ultime Online (though specifically pre-2000, Trammel/Felucca) My frist MMOG, a lot of my RL friends played it, and I lose a good few years of my life to this game :)

1. X-Com -first ever game that made me crap my 6yrold pants. Holds the distinctive honor of still being on my hard disk after all these years
2. Privateer (and to a lesser extent, I-War II and the X series) -no game offers the same freedom as this. Holds the honor of having been on my hard disk frequently (all three games)
3. Battlezone 1 and 2 -True "battlefield" capability, be an RTS commander and a grunt at the same time! Sniping in multiplayer never felt so satisfying. Still have my disks of this game
4. Homeworld -True 3d RTS, epic story
5. Mechwarrior 4 et al -Mech combat. Who cant resist a 100ton behemoth of a walking tank laying down hellfire? -

EVE Online Pre-CU SWG (Sadly, I think CCP is going the direction of SOE right now - not listening to their loyal community when they should. When we say that the nerf is overnerf, they scream NO!!!! to the same extent as SOE did when everybody said the NGE sucked and they should rollback). X3: Reunion Elder Scrolls Series KOTOR

It's great reading the games ya'll post, and then trying to imagine your age:
EVE: - Who'da thought there'd be a sandbox in space? C&C:TD: - That's right. Tiberian Dawn. I loved that the units were all based on real things. World in Conflict gets an honorable mention here because of that similar realistic feel. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six & Eagle Watch: The first FPS I ever played. NATO v2.01 FTW. America's Army gets an honorable mention because of it's authentic realism - not COD4 realism. Boo - COD4 isn't realistic at all. Dishonorable mention. Fable: - Not only was playing fun, I could actually spend hours just watching someone else play. Graphics were just that good, things just flowed so smooth. Hope Fable 2 is more Sandboxy... WoW: plz don't kill me - It was definately immersive, but by LvL 40 it got too repetative. At level 52 I quit. Yes, I gave away my stuff.

Wow, great to see some people with taste in this thread, what with SystemShock, IL2, and some others being mentioned.
5 is a really short list, and just how do you compare an RTS with an rpg, for example?
Well, off the top of my head:
1. System Shock 2 2. Planescape: Torment 3. IL2 4. GTR2/GTL 5. Hearts of Iron
That's the top game for their respective category, in my opinion. But I could just as well list top 5 Strategy/RTS games, or top 5 FPS games.
A year or so ago I gave a "top games" list some thought, and came up with categories like Tactical FPS, FPS/RPG, RPG, etc. And I still felt I had to list "honorable mentions" alonside the "winner" in each category. There's just so many great games I've played over the years.
