Titanium: See my avatar.
Being that you are the only one who has ever heard of it doesn't qualify it for this thread. :P

I thought it looked pretty cool when I Googled your avatar.

Well, by now it's about 50% truth and 50% a running gag anyway.

If anyone is wondering, the game is Mistmare. It was spectacularly broken at launch, got painstakingly patched to 1.7 for a fairly enjoyable experience, and then promptly devoured by the passage of time.

dungeonsiege 2

Loved it!! more than Neverwinter nights 2 which is a very similar style of game that everyone seems to love.

I never even completed Neverwinter nights 2 because my team was too weak at the final battle - both times! and even after i followed some nice online builds..... but mind you, the online builds are for multiplayer, no one cares about builds for the campaign.

I bought it back in 1996 when it came out. On of my first strategy games and one of the reasons I got to like the genre. I've yet to meet someone who's even heard of it, let alone played it. And the few internet mentions of it are not too enthusiastic about it, to put it mildly.

Just out of curiosity, what did you think of #1?

* Evil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul.
* Dune 2

I am not sure about Dune 2 cos many people loved it when it was out. However I dont hear anybody mentioning it nowadays. People are all about Starcraft or Command & Conquare. Dune 2 will always be the legendary Real Time Strategy game for me.

However, Evil Islands had amazing negative reviews from all over the web. I still cant find a copy that I can buy. For me it had the best crafting system in any RPG game I have played including MMORPGs. Skill system was simple yet hard to master (Points needed for skills would be doubled for all skills every time you pick a skill, or whatever it was called). I am yet to see a game that gave me so much freedom.

Engerek01: Evil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul
This is a very popular RPG in Russia. I suggest you to check out the older Rage Of Mages games which are set in the same universe and made by the same developer. Evil Islands should have been a sequel to them in fact. I dream these games will appear here on GOG someday, they are fantastic!

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. I think it accomplished the mission of being a decent "first RPG", and the music is pretty good.

La-Mulana. Tough, fair, and lots of unique puzzles to figure out. It really deserves far more recognition, as it is an ideal combination of Castlevania with Zelda. On PC, at that. Why the heck people never flocked to it like they did for Fez or Dark Souls, is beyond my understanding.

timppu: Far Cry 2. There's so much hate for this one, but I still think it is a brilliant and very engrossing game. If you are dismayed by "respawning enemies", then you are just playing it wrong, admit it!

Furthermore, remember that the PC version has save-anywhere, so USE IT, if you really dislike having to drive all the way to the mission objective again when failing the mission. Don't complain for nothing, just use the fecking save anywhere! It solves that "problem". If you are playing the console version instead without save-anywhere... well boohoo! Serves you right for playing it on a console!

Frankly, the only real complaint I have about FC2 is that it doesn't have good music, like the first Far Cry had, or e.g. Crysis 2 has.

Another might be <span class="bold">Area-51</span>. It is a generic futuristic military FPS, but I still enjoyed it overall. It was somewhat like a poor man's Halo. What is has, and Halo doesn't, is that you can occasionally turn into a big scary alien monster! (due to some alien virus or something you have, I don't recall anymore)

And while we are at it, I think the PC versions of all these were good:

Halo
Halo 2
GTA 3
GTA: Vice City
GTA: San Andreas

People who complain about the PC versions being rubbish are rubbish themselves. It doesn't make you look cool to claim these were inferior to the console versions. The PC versions are fine (and the controls on all these are faaaar superior to the console versions, a fact!), the problem must be in your brains.

Had enough? No? Then go to your mama for some more!

Oh yes I've almost forgotten about that game. It had David Duchovny doing the narrating if memory serves. It was pretty fun except for one thing: the scope on a rifle zoomed, and only zoomed, as opposed to zooming and effectively upping the mouse sensitivity (if that makes sense) which made it extremely difficult to shoot over long range with a scope.

I just spent a few minutes looking into this game and it actually looks really good! Do you or Engerek01 know if it works on Windows 8.1?

I've played Evil Islands on win 7 so should def work on 8 as well. But I don't remember if I used any patches or tweaks.

Zelda II.

The game gets a lot of hate, mostly because it's difficult and figuring things out requires actually talking to villagers and not following glowing waypoints I suppose, but I think it's great. Not perfect, but damned good, and without it we wouldn't have Dark Link, the downward thrust or the names of the sages from Ocarina of Time, so show some damn respect you heathens.
