QOTD: What's Your Favorite PC Game of All Time?

[HunterNIN]

Star Control 2, still my favorite of all time. I play everything, from FPS to Simulation/strategy to dinky flash games. Out of this world and flashback were amazing! I think I still have my OotW verification wheel somewhere.

starcraft and heroes III - best games ever, don't forget Hercules
newer games - Crysis I and II , Fallout 3(the best new game), COD 4, Far Cry 2 and NFS series

and the rest, Empire earth and Age of Empires - these are my favorites, but if i would have to chose from those:
old-starcraft, heroes III, Hercules
new-Crysis, Fallout, COD 4

Absolutely has to be Deus Ex. Period. Followed by Civ 3

Well, if it is measured by time/money invested into the game, mine would be Star Wars Galaxies, (2 accounts for almost 5 years now at $14.99/mnth) which is almost $1800 invested and I won't even begin to guess time invested...too many hours.
If the measuring criteria is shear fun/playability... Worms Armageddon or Battlefiled: 1942

Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss. As it turns out, I've even got the source code to the sequel, Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds.

The first 85% of Half-Life, before Freeman was teleported to 'space' was terrific! The remaining 15% of the game wasn't that good though.
Half-Life was probably the most immersive FPS I've played. And really great graphics for it's time.

The recently released F.E.A.R 2 - Project Origin is actually a surprisingly good FPS.

How about...
Wizardry
Syndicate
Darkness Falls

 

[Raidur]

Is, was, and always will be. Counter-Strike (HL2 or HL1). Everquest was the game I probably had the most fun playing though... while it lasted.

 

[freeneonia]

Diablo saga and Civilization. Lots of hours of entertaintment.

 

[lapalm]

Baldur's Gate II, although I never finished it...
But Warcraft III would be my second choice.

Mine was definitely Final Fantasy 7 (PC version was cool because you could turn on antialiasing, etc obviously hehe).

BioForge from the glorious days of Origin. It's a incredible well done "multimedia cd-rom" RPG / action hybrid.

Runners-up would be Tie Fighter (Lucas Arts), StarFlight (EA / Binary Systems), The Dig (Lucas Arts) and as usual Doom 2 & Quake 1 from id.

Good choice on Flashback but I do agree with someone who said Out Of This World instead of Flashback. Well, maybe... those two are just pieces of art.

Oh, and let's not forget Bethesda with Oblivion. It's a new game but, we have to admit it, it might be the best game of all time sometime soon.

 

[Master Exon]

Dawn of War, Half Life, Worms, Jet Pack, Counter Strike, Civilization, Sim City.

 

[QEFX]

Freespace 1 & 2
MOO 1 & 2 (Master Of Orion)
MOM (Master Of Magic)
NFS up to HS2
Wizardry Series
Wing Commander Series
Sim City 1 & 2
CIV 1 & 2
MS Flight Sim Series
Flight Unlimited Series

Any game that costs less than $50 and gives 1,000 (+) hours of enjoyment gets my thumbs up. Most of these modern games are only fun for the first few pass throughs, shame that.

I have a few but the one that I really love has to be Deus Ex, I have replayed that game many times and each time I find a new area or something I have missed before. Other honorable mentions are half life 1/2, system shock and fallout 3.

 

[Guest]

SW KotOR, StarCraft, Warcraft (all of them), Diablo (all), Baldurs Gate (all), Wing Commander (all), King's Quest and Planescape Torment is most memorable for me. I still playing most of them.

 

[wolfseeker2828]

Knights of the Old Republic, and the sequel, The Sith Lords. They were one of the most immersive and entertaining sci-fi RPGs of their time, and I still replay them...over and over again...

Xcom 1, Doom 2, Quake 2, Populous 3, Magic Carpet.
