I love dune 2 it's a game I play at least once every year

I had Dune 2 at the time it was new, but since I was only about 4, I didn't get too involved (at that age, if its not a platformer or a fighting game, I won't play it)

Warcraft , Warcraft 2 and C&C were the ones I got into.

I had a PC and an NES as a kid, but for me the PC was always the better system, even when Sega Genesis and the SNES were launched to me the PC had styles of games you just couldn't find on consoles

I didn't play many platformers on the PC, only the exclusives, usually i'd prefer a controller for that.

It's just that for me the 3D of FPS games, the strategy in it's RTS, TBS and city builder games, the freedom in it's WRPG's was so complex ahead of everything consoles had to offer... specially games like Star contro 2l and Dune 1 and 2 ((bare in mind at the time I didn't even know the sega CD and 3DO existed, much less their versions of these games))

P.S. that soundtrack is amazing

both are amazing really.

Yep, interplay was part of the reason why I loved PC gaming better. Appogee... I liked their games, but it wasn't until they became 3D realms that I REALLY loved their games

Jazz was a pretty average platformer imho. Yeah, it was PC's substitute for Mario and Sonic and a nice little platformer but nothing special.

the only annoying part was installing Win95 , it came on something like 50 floppy discs if I remember correctly :P still it was better than windows 3.1.Darkman2007

Ever heard of a CD drive?:P

I used to have Windows 3.1, I think my parents got the CD version of Win 95 after it came out. But I wouldn't be surprised if the floppy version had 50 or so discs.

Redneck Rampage.

kittensRjerks

i had the demo of that game, it was hillairous!

my favorite DOS game is Stunts. Next would be the Punisheror the original Mech Warrior

Mine didn't have a CD drive at first, but we got one a few years later. I remember the case had a Turbo button that changed the CPU's clock from 50 to 100 MHz, lol.

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"] that computer didn't have a CD drive sadly, it was my dad's computer which wasn't all that new (despite the fact he workd in the IT business and should know better) my first computer did have a CD drive, Pentium R , 32MB RAM :PDarkman2007

Are you sure the R didn't stand for Registered Trademark? As in "Pentium (R)"?

The button was there for compatibility with older games which could run too fast. My CPU's default clock was actually 100 MHz, with Turbo off it was underclocked to 50. But it was completely useless, I never needed to turn it off since my CPU was already slow enough.:P

not sure, though it doesn't really matter as I can remember Quake running on that thing quite decently (albeit software mode) so it could have been a Pentium cheesecake and it wouldnt have mattered :P

though I have a feeling you are right, though I have an excuse as I was 7 at the time :P

I can't see how a feature like that would be useful for older games, 50Mhz is still too fast for really old DOS games (ie mid 80s stuff) , there were programs for that kind of stuff.

My favourites are the ones that I've rated the highest here on Gamespot, obviously. My ratings are intended to be some sort of approximation of how good I consider the games I've played to be. Where to draw the line, I don't know.

Jazz Jackrabbit, Commander Keen series, Doom , Warcraft , Aladdin , Lion King, C&\c (though I spent most of the time playing the Win95 version.

those are some of them, , but the list could go on and on.

Let me ask you folks, if I may... I saw "Dune (I wanna say) 2000" for PS1 the other day, I might be wrong about the "2000" part, but I recall a friend of mine used to swear by those "Dune" titles. What are they, and what is it that keeps you coming back to them after all this time?

Dune 2000 in itself ins't that great

and the PS1 version is... pretty bad the controls, the graphics, the fact that you can't save while in a mission
