I can't belive that nobody else mentioned OMF:2097. When I was 7 yrs old and used to go everyday to my friends house to play the PC Gamer shareware games OMF stuck with me. Its unique idea of mind and body or human and robot as well as upgradable parts took it much farther than other fighting games. I was so glad to see it become freeware and I still play it. I am also anxiously waiting for the much awaited sequel (www.omf.com)
The other game was Cyber Race. I know that probably nobody else has heard of it, but it was THE best game of its type and it beat Mario Kart to the idea by years. You flew around in these hover craft, descent type vechicles, raced, and blew each other up with cool weapons, along with a story line. Unfortunatley it broke and we could never revive it.;( It was the saddest of my childhood memories.
The other other game was Crusader. For thoose of you who don't know it is Fallout for dos but without the RPG and D&D aspects. It had superb graphics and sound, excellent gameplay, an involving story and was altogether the, dare i say it, best game to come out of dos.
the other other other game (this is the last one) was The Journeyman Project. I shouldn't need to explain it but despite it's slow interface it has the best story and is the best time-traveling, investigation, and futuristic game that I have played.
I know you probably could care less what I think, along with the 2000 others with an opinion but maybe you can find these old games, or just remember the good old happy days. Just trying to put up a breath of fresh air from starcraft, diablo, civilization (i like this one) and others.
