Unscramble the games

[Jaguar]

Put these in order of release year. Each of them is my favorite game for its year, and there's only one for each year.

Civilization II
Deus Ex
Halo
Warcraft III
Half-Life
Quake II
Call of Duty
Doom
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
Marathon
Warcraft II

All of these games are extremely famous so a true gamer should be able to do this perfectly.

okay let's see here. I haven't played all of them so we'll see. Halo was an X-box game, I'll assume you mean the PC release.

Marathon? never heard of it
Doom
Civ2
Warcraft II
Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri
Half-Life
Deus Ex
Quake II
Warcraft III
Halo
Call of Duty

[Jaguar]

Your ordering isn't atrocious, but it's pretty bad. Quake II is way too late, SMAC is way too early, for starters. You haven't heard of Marathon because it was a mac game. It was an early work of Bungie, the creators of Halo.

[Dis]

I do know SMAC is 1999. the same year I orginally created a login for Apolyton (using a different screen name than this one).

Civ2 is 1996.

Call of Duty is 2004

Halo is 2003 (PC)

Warcraft III is 2003 I think- maybe 2002.

Half Life I think is 1999. I believe that is the game that beat out Planescape: torment for Computer Gaming World magazines game of the year.

[Jaguar]

I'm talking about Halo's Xbox release year. Otherwise it doesn't work out.

You are correct that SMAC is 1999. You're also correct that Civ2 is 1996.

Doom
Marathon
Warcraft II
Civ2
Quake II
Half-Life
SMAC
Deus Ex
Halo
Warcraft III
Call of Duty

I feel I'm missing a game in there somewhere around 2000/2001.

[Jaguar]

Nice. You are ubergood.

Doom: 1993
Marathon: 1994
Warcraft II: 1995
Civ2: 1996
Quake II: 1997
Half-Life: 1998
SMAC: 1999
Deus Ex: 2000
Halo: 2001
Warcraft III: 2002
Call of Duty: 2003

You aren't missing anything.

Make your own list and scramble it so I can show of my 1337 year-memorizing skills.

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
Micro Machines 2
Grim Fandango
Unreal Tournament
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
The Secret of Monkey Island
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
Duke Nukem 3D
Screamer Rally
Escape from Monkey Island
Pizza Tycoon

This is from 1990 to 2000, haven't bought any games in recent years.

[Jaguar]

The past three years have been pretty sad for PCs. Nothing particularly spectacular. Some of the best PC games of recent years have been console ports. However I think that this year there will be good games.

Working on unscrambling it... I've got the last three and I have a general idea of where most of them should be.

[Jaguar]

Wait, aren't DN3D and MM2 both from 1996?

[Buck Birdseed]

Nope!

[mactbone]

Screamer Rally
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Micro Machines 2
The Secret of Monkey Island
Duke Nukem 3D
Pizza Tycoon
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
Grim Fandango (I have an incredibly cool advert of this, it's a poster designed to look like a movie poster of some noir film)
Unreal Tournament
Escape from Monkey Island

[Buck Birdseed]

Well, five of them are in the right places and the rest are in way off ridiculous places for the most part.
