Games that you regret not getting

[Cyclotron]

"Spaceward Ho!" was the first space game I played... around the same time as Civ1, right?

[Dis]

I played the demo for alien crossfire. I just couldn't get into the new factions. And it didn't seem to fit with the story for me. Although it was a demo so it didn't really explain how the other factions came to be with Alpha Centauri's history.

Everquest. Actually despite people loving this game, it probably isn't my type of game. But I still would have liked to check it out for a bit.

Starcraft. I'm not really into RTS games, but this game is talked about so much, I kind of wish I knew what people were talking about

MOO, or MOO2. I'm not sure which one here. I'm not familiar with the series. But I kind of wish I was familiar with the games, especially since people still talk about them often.

Pirates. Another game people talk about I have never played. Although I had a C64 back then I think. But they probably made it for the C64.

M.U.L.E. I think that's the name. I have never played it. but people talk about it saying its good.

[General Ludd]

There are no games I regret not geting.

If I want a game, I get it.

Dissident: Pirates was made for many systems. I still see the Conquer the World pack that it is bundled in now and then (works for windows). What might actually be easier would be to get an old Sega Genesis and buy it's version of Pirates. I've seen Pirates for $5 and the system for less than $15 so it wouldn't be that bad of a monetary hit. The Sega version is actually better than many of the computer versions.

Alien Crossfire as well. Ignored it in the shops when it was released as SMAC hadn't really grabbed me. Played Civ 3, returned to SMAC and decided it was pretty good but no expansion pack.
I did see it the other day for £19.99 next to the orginal game for 9.99. Might have to bite the bullet on this one.

Same here. There have been games that I waited a long time to finally get, and once I did, I regretted not having gotten sooner.

But to date, I have every game I have ever 'really' wanted; all 250+ of them.. and a few I regret having gotten!

[August Borms]

I regret not getting Europa Universalis 1...

Actually I downloaded it, but I deleted it after playing for 10 minutes....

[Tuberski]

I regret not getting any of the X-COM games. And I regretted not get the Fallout games...until they came out in a jewel case for 9.99.

I have Alien Crossfire, but I must say the novelty wore off for me after a while. Most of the new factions are irritating; the aliens are cool but hard to use; and the "resonance" technologies are stupid.

The games I don't regret not getting are the newer FIFA games.

[Jethro83]

I definitely regret not buying Alien Crossfire. I was thinking "no, no. Wait until it gets cheaper" and all of a sudden, its gone without a trace, and the people running the shops that should be selling it deny that it ever existed.

[Father Beast]

I regret not keeping my 486/33 running dos 6.1 and windows 3.11.

I would be able to play a lot of games for which the slowdown programs don't work right.

I can still play them, but I have to go into bios setup and disable internal and external cache, and heavev help me if I accidentally load win98 while that is set!

I also regret not getting into Ultima while it was coming out. I have the Ultima collection, but I keep getting distracted by the oldness of it.

[aaglo]

There are few games I wish I had, but never didn't.

Dark Forces (I played the demo and decided to get this game, but never found it in any store... )
Panzer General (I played Fantasy General...)
Heroes of Might and Magic (I know I would like this game, but I think I have no more spare time left)

Bureaucracy by Infocom.

I *loved* the old Infocom games back in the day, and I always thought a bureaucratic nightmare was tailor made for a text puzzle game. Never got it, and now it's impossible to find.

[Drew Dude]

Well I've only just got a PC so there are games that I won't buy now that I think I would like because of games to be released. BG2 for example. It appears to be too long that I'd buy it, get part of the way through it and then NeverWinter nights will appear. I figure I might as well play that and be in on it from the start.

Master Of Magic
Imperialism 2
Fantasy General
Heroes of Might and Magic 2 (oh! wait, I got that one resently)
