Nice list!! But I think most games are too new. Maybe we should try to do a list with games that are at least 10 years old.

I have some real goldies and oldies, that for some reason hasn't made the list:

RPG:

Eye of The Beholder series (I-III) released 1990-1992  Extremely hard RPG

Lands of Lore released 1992  Very good RPG, a real classic in the RPG genre

Moonstone released 1992  Nice hack 'n' slash

Action:

Crusader series (No remorse & No regret) released 1995-1996  Intense action in cool environments

Rapture released 1994  Very nice top fly action

RTS:

Dune II released 1992  The original RTS and the forefather to most of the RTS of today

Warlords II  released 1993  Real strategy, nothing else

Other:

Pinball Dreams & Fantasies released 1992-1993  The one and only Pinball game

MythPro1, keep up the good work! This is one of the best threads on Game Spot! :)

I'll return later with more golden classics!

Aargh! What happened to my post? Why isn't it formatted in the right way? I didn't have so many empty rows.

Does anybody knows what I've done wrong? :question:

All recommendations added, thank you for your contributions.

To andersalsen, yes I'll admit that a good amount of games on those lists are quite neew. However I don't see many of them recommended to those who ask for games they could play. It's always the newest and best looking game that takes its place. So in sense even they as new as they are, are forgotten at times.

Yeah, I admit that many games are forgotten only a few years after they are released. Hope this thread get's a sticky on it, so it won't be forgotten (like those games :) )!

Tie Fighter is included in the X-Wing collectors edition on the list. Wayne Gretsky's 3d Hockey is a console game on the N64 and Mario Paint is an SNES game. This list only comprises of PC games. Also, Icewind Dale 1 and 2 already  on the list.

Thank you.

Here's a few more goldies:

Syndicate   A dark, cool strategy game
Dungeon Master II   A really cool RPG, but also quite hard

Keep filling that List, MythPro1!

I totally agree. I wish todays developers had a little more courage to try something new and not so typical. To me it seems most new games are either FPS or RTS, mostly in a war situation.

Please give us a little more humor and adventure! Lucas Arts, where are you. Please come back! :cry:

I can't believe it... Tribes and its sequel aren't on the list? (They're freeware, to boot!) Oh, and there's Scorched3D, a freeware 3D take on Scorched Earth, which I would consider a forgotten game.

I dodnt think gamers have forgotten Clive Barkers: Undying,Star Wars: Republic Commando,No One Lives Forever (1 and 2),Soldier of Fortune (1 and 2),Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay,Max Payne,Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne,Painkiller,Serious Sam: The First Encounter,Serious Sam: The Second Encounter,
Medal of Honor,Return to Castle Wolfenstein,Mafia,Prince of Persia Series,Hitman Series,Splinter Cell,Brothers in Arms Series,Project Snowblind that easily.The above games were legendary popular with veteran to new gamers alike.I did not forget myself at least and always recommend above to new game enthusiasists.But hell yeah, rest of the games I have doubts like you.Though i never got to play ONI which was not compatible with my XP.

Anyways, a Superb (Excellent) game list from you. Thank's.

Wow, all the games I played and on the list, I haven't forgotten at all! B&W1, Ground Control, Max Payne, Sim City, The Incredible Machine (!) and many others you've mentioned... all in my heart somewhere... (as they're part of the 'younger me'). Such nostalgy ):

but I must mention that "today"'s games, when they will become old, they won't be in my heart... cause I've grown up and I wouldn't have this need to "remind myself my teenhood" unlike reminding myself my childhood...

So, we meet again! Yes, I brought it up, on the last page. Here's a quote: [QUOTE="NamelessPlayer"]I've reviewed the list, and noticed that even more great games aren't on the list. (Nice to read that someone else brought up Die by the Sword, though. That's the kind of game I'd kill for on the Wii!) Anyway, here's some more games: -Magic Carpet -Rocket Jockey (There need to be more original games like this today!) -Every other Battletech game that isn't MechWarrior 4 or MechAssault, namely MechWarrior 1-3

Oh, and why isn't Allegiance on the list? It's a fun space combat/RTS hybrid, and freeware to boot! Steep learning curve, though...

There's a few oldies I would love to have but in my area, they're next to impossible to find for the PC.  Console games are much easier to come by for some reason... lol.

Great list, it really is a pot full o' gold. To throw my two cents in, i'd recommend the hugely under-rated Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time. One of the most pleasurable video-game experiences i've ever had. I think no game after that captured me like Journeyman did, but i do admit it's somewhat of a personal choice, and not everyone will enjoy the Myst style gameplay.

Great WWII flight sim thats intensely realistic in many ways is Aces High II, hitechcreations.com  download it u get a 2 week free trial of the large servers(kinda like mmo servers) and forever free access to 8 player servers so u can get teams of 2-4 or w.e dogfights and stuff. Flight models are great and the overall feal of it is great, not the easiest but after some getting used to, lots of fun.

I play unknown games (of my fav genre) sometimes.It happens when i've completed my fav current games or my fav games are not coming out.I browse GAMESPOT games lists,and pick out games (which i've missed ).I also play those unknown games which gamers recommend.But i read the games reviews , players opinion , see the videos ,system requirements of the game etc.

Like i recently got;

1) PSI OPS The MindGate Conspiracy (Robert Bowen recommended me the game)

2) Rouge Trooper

They are unknown games , but i'm enjoying them .

PC gaming is my hobby - hence I have most of these in my house! Would add the following sepcial cases from a long list....I think you can get most of them free now on abandonware sites as well! :)

Strategy/Sim
Subwar 2050 (graphics and physics excellent, even now!)
Alien Legacy (From the guy who gace us Star Control, excellent story and gameplay - hard!)
SEAL Team (THE Vietnam tactil sim - and the best EA game released in the last dozen years!)

Adventure:
Blair Witch Vol1:  Rustin Parr (series got bad write ups but this is a gem - scary!!!)
Redguard (The 'unknown' Elder Scrolls game that's as good as the rest and better than most!! Story, characters and the world of Tamriel all done to perfection!)

Flight Sim (lite)

Crimson Skies (The funniest flight sim with the most personality! 1930's airway bucaneers! - and more gaming you can shake a stick at!)


Could have added a lot more. But these definitely need to be on the list as they have been very hard done by and are practically invisible to the great gaming unwashed! :)

I has about to say that Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn doesn't belong on a list of forgotten games, as everyone remembers it. I stand corrected.
