Another series that went straight downhill from the first. I mean Jeebus, I thought I bought a videogame, not a movie.

Yes GTA is the best video game series (ever).

Master of Orion 3 shot that series in the foot (and its all been downhill since 1 anyway). And since Civ will always be second to MoO ...

... that leaves GTA.

GTA1&2 were definately asskicking (especially in multiplayer... ah the sheer fun when doing 8 player-clashes, the carnage!!!)

GTA3's graphics were ****ed up on my computer, and as a result I thought the game sucked pretty hard.
I have installed Vice City today and I don't seem to have these gfx problems so it looks promising. Nevertheless a game such as this just needs to have an mp section. Still don't udnerstand why they didn't implement that. It would be a huge success

PS: The gameplay in GTA3 and VC is really different however, and I kinda liked GTA1&2's style even though the gfx were far inferior!

Not sure about Parcival, but it was something to do with Wagner.

I think I even visited teh castle featured in that game.

Isn't it based on the opera "Parcival" from Richard Wagner?

Indeed,
Kings quest,
Monkey island,

What's the one with the video-footage again (from Sierra)?
Set in Germany(Bayreuth?) , about King Ludwig, and something about an opera theme?
At the time, I almost completed it and now I don't have the disks anymore

On the tip of my tongue it is...
Aaargh, must...know....before..going...to..bed...

[Jamski]

That's what I thought too.

The Civ series? (including SMAC)
The Baldur's Gate series?
The Total War series?
The Panzer General series?
The Warcraft series?
The Warlords series?

All of these are beyond discussion better.

Indeed! Not to mention numerous adventure game series.

[alva]

Wern't they build on the same engine, or least parts of it? hmm I think it was.

They are basically the game, just differnt graphics and names.

[Nubclear]

Well....They both have the exact same gameplay.
SMACX just happens to take it to another level.
It's kind of like not including Civ2 because its more advanced than Civ1.

Im wondering if its fair to include SMAC/SMAX along with the 3 civs in one series.

Final Fantasy series is certainly worthy of mention - the older (S)NES games were great. Civilization series is also going to top any list.

The Command & Conquer, while not something I am a devout fan of, has had a significant impact on that genre.

GTA would never cross my mind.
