Alright - I guess I also wanna post some of my video game favourites, but I'm gonna post them based on the different platforms for which they were released seeing as how I may have 20 favourites for the PC right now, but I also enjoyed a lot of games for both the Amiga and the Commodore 64, so here goes - in completely random order:
PC
1. Monkey Island series - No need to introduce this series. It speaks entirely for itself. An enormously funny pirate adventure and I've loved every installment of it! As for the PC - it's mostly Curse Of and Escape From that I have played. The favourite there is by far Curse Of
2. Pandora Directive - Again no introduction needed. The fact that this game was FMV and introduced the multiple endings scenario made my mouth water for a long time, and I was unable to release myself from the game because it was so darn exciting, funny, dramatic and intense!
3. Under A Killing Moon - The first game of the series that I ever played which wasn't that long after its release. I fell in love with it instantaneously and I just knew that if there would be sequels, I should get it pronto. Loved the innovativeness of the game back then
4. Tex Murphy: Overseer - The third installment of the FMV-series also need a mention. A great re-adaption of the original Mean Streets and equally funny and dramatic as the previous games
5. Pro Evolution Soccer 6 - By far the best soccer game to date. FIFA can't do a thing to top this one. Very realistic game and the game play is awesome!
6. Still Life - A great detective game. I really enjoyed solving the mysteries in this one and it had a great intense atmosphere too.
7. The Movies - Think about it. You have a movie studio, you get money to build it up, hire actors, directors and script writers, build sets, shoot movies, make them blockbusters so you can win Oscars at the end. It's GREAT entertainment for me and far more fun than say a game like The Sims.
8. Sam & Max: Hit The Road - What game is funnier than this one? I loved this from start to finish and laughed my ass off multiple times.
9. Theme Part / Theme Hospital - Awesome games - especially Hospital ... I just loved all those silly illnesses the patients had and it was fun to go through all the stages trying to beat the other hospitals in the run
10. Fahrenheit - Talk about an innovative game. I never thought it would be possible to play a game both as the bad guy and as the good guy but Fahrenheit made it possible. A great game I really enjoyed playing and also - with quite intense scenes from time to time. Played it once with my ex-girlfriend who just sat in the couch next to me and watched it as a movie. She was very entertained
11. The Dig - A Steven Spielberg masterpiece. The Dig was awesome when it was released. I was really into the game and could stick around for hours trying to find out what to do next.
12. Day of the Tentacle - Fun and very enjoyable game and once again a LucasArts classic.
13. Transport Tycoon - Oh man, I have played this game a lot back in the days. I just loved how I could make all sorts of transports all over the place, earn a shitload of money and buy out any competition I had
14. Sim Golf - It's sooo much fun designing your own golf course in this game. I've had a lot of fun with that and I even designed the golf club I normally play at in real life. Now that was great fun to do
15. Tiger Woods 2006 - Sticking with the golfing there is no greater game than the Tiger Woods games. Period!
16. Simon The Sorcerer - I really enjoyed the first installment and I absolutely loved the second one. Great british accent and humor by Simon. However, he was quite mean in the third installment though which I didn't particularly liked but I'm looking forward to the 4th.
17. Syberia - Another Microïds production. Great story and awesome graphics in this game. It's fun to go on the journey with Kate Walker in the search of the last mammoths on Earth
18. Leisure Suit Larry series - Especially Love For Sail (Larry 7). It was one of the funnies Larry-games I've ever played and I love the whole "Find Dildo (Waldo)" mini-game.
19. Worms - Especially the first game of the Worms-series really got my attention. It was a new and much better version of Scorched Earth but with worms and better graphics. And the humour in the game was awesome!
20. Lost in Time - Old classic adventure-game from Coktel Vision. It's been quite a while since I last played it but I remember I really enjoyed it a lot.
That was my 20 favourite games on the PC. There might be other memorable games there, but I can't quite figure them out right now. Tomorrow I'll post more games from other platforms as it's getting late here in Denmark, so I'm gonna hit the sack.
