The Forgotten Games Recommendation List

youre only including old games. why? you think morrowind is better than oblivion?just wonderin

I love your lists!! Excellent Work!!

I would like to suggest:

Strategy -

Close Combat Series
Combat Mission Series
Blitzkrieg Series
Codename Panzers Series
Total War Series including Rome and all expansions for all titles (soon to be released as an anthology called Total War: Eras)
Battles in Normandy
Hearts of Iron II
Knights of Honor
Empires: Dawn of the Modern World
Age of Mythology
AoE (?) - not a big favorite of mine but many, many people love it and it is old.
Battle Realms w/ Winter of the Wolf expansion
Warcraft III and expansion
Starcraft
Operational Art of War
Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War

Can we add Diablo? 1 and 2. This game was legendary!!

WaterBug

bullfrog's "theme hospital", the mother of all tycoon-type games

also, some of lucasarts point 'n click games you missed, like "sam & max" and "day of the tentacle"

and one more, "freelancer", that one's the cream, but not many know about it

How about:

Mafia

Syndicate

Railroad Tycoon Series (1-3)

Here's an excellent Adventure game I'm playing on XP ( with Windows '95 compatibility) now, its called Sanitarium.

Thats a game for Adventure fans (and others) to hunt down, excellent 1998 game and XP compatible.

Edit: Ok nm, I see someone already recommended it. I think its much better than the "I have to go to a walkthrough to figure out this illogical puzzle" The Longest Journey.

Strategy

Steel Panthers 1&2

Fantasy General (some love it some hate it)

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate

I don't know if it's already there but,

Star Trek: Starfleet Command series.

u forgot the mother of all games

GRAND THEFT AUTO SERIES(2/3/VICE CITY/SAN ANDREAS)

and

THIEF SERIES(2/3 DEADLY SHADOWS)

PRINCE OF PERSIA SERIES(SANDS OF TIME/WARRIOR WITHIN/TWO THRONES)

HITMAN SERIES(1/2SILENT ASSASIN/3BLOOD MONEY)

QUAKE 4

FAR CRY

VAMPIRE : MASQUERADES BLOODLINES

HALF LIFE

SPLINTER CELL SERIES

MAFIA

SIMS 2

MEDAL OF HONOUR

BROTHERS IN ARMS

I'm insanely harsh on RPG's.

Suikoden II is one of the least known but probably the best JRPG ever made.  It has the best plot, character design, and structure that I've seen in a game in a long time.
