So again why not just acquire the disc and play it on an emulator? My ps1 is long gone and I play them on my pc.

Resident Evil, Fallout and The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker.

PS1 era stuff is mighty hard to come by. I've seen MGS1 for PC (DOS, I think, so won't know if it would've worked) but not PS1.

Import it?

For me it was Fallout 3.

The graphics and immersion were unlike anything I'd played before (or since) including the Elder Scrolls games (which prior to Fallout 3 were the best at immersion IMO, Morrowind for example is still one of my all time favorites in terms of just immersion).

But in addition to the immersion, the gameplay (a hybrid between FPS and RPG done really, really well IMO), the story, the humor, the NPC's, EVERYTHING, for me this is the game that blew my mind.

Replaced Gothic 2 as my all time favorite of any genre game and still resides number one on my list (Gothic 2 second, Betrayal at Krondor 3... with Betrayal at Krondor another that blew my mind back in the day. At the time that one did nearly what Fallout 3 did years later in terms of setting a new standard)

That's the problem you see. Import duty is so high that most foregin stuff get around 25% more expensive. I ultimately had to settle for a cheaper GPU for my PC even though with the right conversion rate, the better one would've fit into my budget.
As for importing, it will be cheaper than PC parts but I'm afraid my parents won't agree to paying around Rs.1200 (of my own money even) to buy such an old game. And IMO its too expensive to justify the cost. If it'd just come back to PC though............

it never was a dos title it needed windows to run

i had the pc version dunno what happend to it i only have the box lying around

I remember when a buddy in school gave me his copy of Baldur's Gate II all those years ago. I've been hooked on Fantasy RPGs and books since then. Back then all I had ever played was Half-Life, Counter-Strike and RTS games so when I started BG II I died so many times that I was actually tempted to just walk away from it (:

World of Warcraft also comes to mind. I invested six months of my life in it after the release. Loved the exploring and the world. I think we were the first people on our server who hit the 60 and we wiped our way through the instances with no walkthroughs and stuff like that. Was a hell of a ride and I don't regret doing it. Then again, I don't regret getting of that train either at the end.

That's the problem. Even though it released, somehow, it eased production for some reason. Maybe Sony had a hand in this.

If I remember correctly it was an unofficial patch called Command & Conquer Gold: Project 1.06. I used it with the First Decade version of C&C and it worked perfectly for me. As well as allowing a higher resolution and removing the black lines from the videos it also fixed the colour problem I had when playing it on Windows 7.

Here is the link to the patch.

Thanks! :)

Persona 4

I haven't been exposed to very much in the world of PC gaming, so pardon my ignorance if the examples I am about to share are not as groundbreaking as I find them to be. With that said:

Dragon Quest (known as Dragon Warrior at the time) for the NES was the first RPG that I ever played. I was amazed that a game could transport me to another world in a way that games like Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda never did. Having to explore, gather clues, and upgrade your skills was so unlike most games on the NES at the time. I must have played this game to completion at least five times. It made me an RPG fan immediately.

Final Fantasy VI (improperly known as Final Fantasy III at the time) for the SNES took RPG gaming to the next level. Its cast was just massive compared to other games in the genre and each one still had the same amount of development as the rest. Its branching story paths, surprising plot revelations, and its villain just set this apart from any RPG I had played up to that point. Oh, and let's not forget the opera scene.

Lunar: The Silver Star for the Sega CD (or Mega CD to the rest of the world) was the next step in the evolution of RPG gaming in my life. The media format allowed for gorgeous music, voiced dialogue and animated cut scenes to enhance the art of story-telling in the role-playing genre. To top it off, the story was excellent, the characters were vibrant and bursting with personality, and the voice acting was great. Another game I played way too many times.

Mass Effect for the Xbox 360. Since the advent of disc-based media, the RPG genre plateaued after Lunar. Sure, there were some great stories being told, but no game was really taking the role-playing genre in a new and exciting direction. That is, until this game. The first thing I noticed was how much work was going into created the world where this game was taking place. For a new IP, this was unheard of. I didn't have a 360 when the game first came out, but that didn't stop me from buying it anyway and reading the first novel in an attempt to immerse myself in its universe as quickly and as much as possible. As if its world development wasn't enough, it's use of moral choices were masterfully done. Other games had allowed you to choose certain outcomes, but nothing with the weight of the choices here. Combined with its alignment system, this allowed for incredibly varied storylines for each gamer. It really allowed for you to forge your own path in a way that no other game at the time was doing.

Special mention to Another World (known as Out of this World at the time) for having animated cutscenes in a Genesis/Mega Drive game. I never thought that was possible on cartridge-based media.

Oh, and...

Garrett, I'm slipping!

Crusader Kings 2. All strategy games that came before it pale in the light of its magnificence. Plus, it has some really good trailers.
