Genres and Games

[bob_fox]

I've done a similar thread for movies.

Which is your favourite computer game in each genre?

For me:

Real-Time Strategy: Total Annihilation or the original Command & Conquer (it was very, very good for its time)

Turn-Based Strategy: Civilization (any of the Civ games, except for Call to Power I and II)

I've just mentioned strategy games for the time being.

I don't understand y everyone likes WC3 so much. You can only have 90 units. That sucks!!

[Desert_Eagle25]

No, the 90 units prevents massing, wich prevents strategy(massing=no strategy). The 90 food cap is nothing to get angry about. It allows more strategy, and makes u think more than ne of those other games. And of course, if E:BFD had a 90 food cap it would be obsourd. You know why? A unit in E:BFD doesnt take much out of your economy, and can die in a split second. But War3 1 unit can throw off ur economy, yet the unit itself can last the whole game without dying. Even the weakest unit in Wc3 will take time to kill, unlike E:BFD. So in terms of food limit, Every 1 unit in Wc3 = Every 3-5 units in E:BFD

[IxianMace]

RTS: Emperor Battle for Dune

Flight-sim: Falcon 4.0

Turn based RTS: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Shoot em up: Incoming

[Terror]

heh is falcon 4.0 good? I remember playing falcon 3.0 in the past. It was great for it's time

[IxianMace]

Falcon 4.0 is great, provided you have a fast machine, a good graphics card, a lot of time and patience, a passion for complicated flight sims, and are prepared to put up with the odd bug or two. ;D

[Anathema]

RTS: The Moon Project (though Mechcommander 2 and Starcraft were pretty damn good too)

FPS: Hitman

RPG: It was ages since I played any RPG.

God game: Tropico

[Terror]

hmmm i admit that I do not like flightsims THAT much but i found falcon 3.0 to be satisfying :)

[bob_fox]

I don't play flight-simulation games anymore, but the best one is probably European Air War.
