The title speaks for itself, heres the link: http://top100.ign.com/1-10.html#8 I would say I was suprised by the rating...but I'm not. If anything, I thought it would be higher !

FFII not FFIII?I don't know how you want to compare them. There are a lot of ways to contrast them all. There's hits, bandwidth, forum members, forum posts/topics, search engine results, references from magazines :happybanana: and other stuff.....

Whitewashed Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 (edited) Enemy Unknown is the original x-com, however Apocalypse improves on most of the ideas and is far less buggy and adds a lot of great features. It's also much better balanced. Apocalypse is IMO what the original X-coms should have been like if Microprose would had have put enough time and resources on them.

SupSuper Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 wow starcraft's in there. though how come it beat x-com? imo apoc is much buggier to get to run on recent systems than ufo/tftd (even dos versions). besides i don't like it. point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeticJuggler Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I played Covert Action on my Tandy 1000. I believe that was the game you could bring along several items like smoke grenades, an uzi. camera, safe cracking kit, etc. You usually had to go into like an office and steal documents. you could dive behind desks and if you made too much noise, by unleashing the fury of your uzi...the alarm went off...Wow that was a while ago. Another great game that was on the list was Pirates!...I LOVED that game...and would love to get my hands on it now...if anyone happens to know where I could?

FenderStrat Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 These are my favorites: No particular order. 1. Final Fantasy 7 (9 was good too. 10 sucked..homo type main character too feminine to make the game interesting and damn annoying.) 2. XCom 3. High Heat Baseball 2k4 4. NFL Gameday (original '96) 5. Age Of Empires: The Conquerors (possibly the greatest thing ever invented..after guitars and guns) 6. Super Turbo Puzzle Fighter II (I still play it and it kills Tetris) 7. Half-Life 8. Tecmo Bowl (too much fun with brother and friends) 9. Desperados: Wanted Dead Or Alive (surprised that not alot of you talk about this game specially if you like Xcom) If I had a choice to buy a remake it would most defenitely be Xcom. I don't see how no one has done this already. It would sell so I don't know what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikker Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 (edited) 1. Half-life 2. Urban Assault (da 1337'est) 3. Final Fantasy 9/10/10-2 4. Birthright: Gorgons alliance 5. Starcraft / warcraft series That would be it. edit: Hey, wait! This topic is over a year old! Edited May 11, 2005 by mikker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris StarShade Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 They should keep the console and computer games seperate. Putting them together sullies the list. Or perhaps they should divide them according to genre... that might make more sense (and remove all the sports-related games that I'll never play anyway). My opinion regarding sports games has always been the same: If you feel inclined to play them, just go outside and play the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
