This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

You should up your posts per page.  Not even half a page for me.  ;)

Arena was the genesis of that series, of course, and loads of fun.  The lesser known Redguard was fun, in a Tomb Raider way.

EDIT:  And don't forget to install DOSBox and play your old classics:  Planet's Edge and Mechwarrior: Crescent Hawks' Inception!

Wow, no mention of the Wizardry series....

I've just re-installed Wizardry 8 (I had the first seven games in a shovelware pack, but can't find them...argh!) and am having a blast and a half.  Great system, and good, clean graphic presentation (if not technically awesome).

I miss party-based games like that.  It's the reason my favorite of the old Black Isle AD&D games was Icewind Dale.  The ultimate for me would be a party-based Roguelike....
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

You've given me a wonderful, Grinchy idea!

This feature absolutely must include a review of the Thief games, especially the first two.

Also, there need to be some Gold Box titles there, including the two Buck Rogers ones.
Obvious troll is obvious. RIP, Bill.

The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

I'm adding Jagged Alliance 2 to the list.

Excellent modern, squad-level turn-based strategy game with a huge cast of characters, a functioning stat/ability PC system and realistic terrain/cover rules.

+1 on Jagged Alliance. I love when my mercenaries behave like prima donnas : "No, I won't work with Joe Joesky. He's a fascist misogynistic pig and he snores".

Google found some translations of Ivan's Russian.

When he kills someone gruesomely he says, "and this is why my nephew is an alcoholic!"

I laugh even harder now.

Someone had thought to do a game show Maria Utilities. gclub
 but not gclub What made this game lets up even one.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Witcher, which was really fun, and one that should be on any computer rpg list.   A sequel is due out next year, hopefully that will actually happen.

Might and magic 6 and The Witcher is my favorite. I wonder how it will be The Witcher 2 by the way...
