    Never heard of the game honestly been playing video games since regular nintendo. On top of that I watched a review where the guy said it was the best game ever according to ign and it looked hella boring.

    Im busting your ballz but I think Ocarina of time is the best game ever so thats the only reason I bring it up

    The Ultima series was pretty freaking awesome. Wizardry too, if you had apple computers (may have been available for PC too, I dunno).

    Defender was a blast... hell, still is. Robotron too.

    Really though I was more a pinball guy, and still am. Love me some pinball.

    Brool Story, Co.:
    I did go to the video game championship in Houston as a kid for pumping so many quarters in Zaxxon that i had high score at the 7-11, but really I just knew the trick to beating the bosses, and it wasn't my favorite. Got there and instead of letting me play Zaxxon for the title, I had to choose between Defender and freaking pac man or somesuch. It was teh disappoints... and I was quickly eliminated as LOTS of people were great at those... much more so than me.

    Wizardry

    Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

    Ultima 3

    MegaTraveller 1: The Zhodani Conspiracy

    MegaTraveller 2: Quest for the Ancients

    Sid Meir's Pirates

    The Ancient Art of War

    Those are all probably at the top. Close but second tier games were:

    Advanced Dungeons and Dragons: Pools of Radiance

    Roadwar 2000
    Roadwar Europa

    Perfectly timed bunt would sent it over the left field wall. Good times.

    Kevin Mitchell was a beast in that game.

    Yeah, I kinda figured. :)

    It's true, X-Com isn't for everyone. It's the anti-action game. The strategic depth and suspense are what made it great; the pace was glacial. Large studios don't really make games as deep as the original X-Com anymore because they're trying to appeal to the (now much wider) gaming audience, and 90% of that audience wouldn't have the patience for a game that slow-paced.

    Even though I'm a big gamer, I somehow haven't managed to play Ocarina of Time yet. I just keep getting distracted by other things, even though I own it. I really should get to that one of these days. I realize it's on almost everyone's best-of-all-time shortlist.

    That sounds like something that would have been in one of the old mlb series games on ps1.
