This was the very first PC game I ever played. My dad introduced me to it and we enjoyed theory crafting and going through it together. It was also the first online game I ever played. I can't think of anything else quite like it
This is one of the most unique strategy games of all time, an innovative mix of RTS, chess, go, and Tetris! Crazy! The setting is very interesting too: the battles take place on floating island between rival fury factions. The multiplayer was way ahead of its time too. Basically you created an account that would level up as you won matches, and the more you leveled up the more technologies you could buy. It was like a proto-MMORTS. Some gaming mags at that time claimed it would change the face of RTS games forever. Sadly this was not the case as the game sold extremely poorly. Anyway the game is still being maintained by the community, with working multiplayer and even custom maps. Highly recommended to any strategy game fanatic!
One of the first PC games I ever played. Strategic part holds up to this day. Fun fact: the german voice files had not been redubbed, but they just revered the english ones to play some undefined gibberish
I love NetStorm so much. Back in the day, there were servers and it was the very first game I ever played online. (It's great single-player too.) I was so tickled because I (in U.S.) was playing against a person from Australia and that was quite novel in the 20th century!! Such a fun game, too. Like nothing else I've ever played. Like another person said, the sounds and gameplay have followed me for years. Would scoop it up instantly if it were on GOG.

Metal Gear Solid HD CollectionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.Action Stealth
