What a pity. You would be the one of the few self-proclaimed experts, whom I could think of asking a question and end up enlightened.

And yes - that translates to "I find this kind of threads blasphemous".

Oh, and Vesayen - TOT means Test of Time and is an XP of Civ2. Even I, who never bought TOT, know this. This lacking knowledge alone disqualifies you as an "expert" on any site, let alone one dedicated to Civ games.

No sir, its not an x-pack. Its a free standing version of Civ2, playable without any earlier release.

But I agree with that knowing the abbreviation is de rigeur for an "expert" at a civ site.

Did you even have to ask? Avalon hill! Empire of the rising sun, nuff said!

Heretic. This alone disqualifies you. Red Star/White Star. Sixth Fleet. Oil War. Sinai. NATO. Some WW2 eastern front game (whose name i dont recall, but it was kinda generic) that you played on four full sized maps placed together. A new game every month in the mag, aside from their plethora of regular titles. Those marvelously engineered game boxes. Jim Dunnigan. Enuff said.

I did not like test of time. The expansion game out many a year ago, so you can hardly expect me to know some acronym for it, amoung thousands of games.

Questioon is easy to answer. Fantasy scenario, scifi, editor, or graphics?

Improved editor. I did not care for any of the new scenarios, the graphics may have been "new", but I did not like them, the original civ2 graphics looked better.

*BUT* a little while after release, higher quality fan made maps and scenarios started popping up online and those were fun. I remember I was pissed when I first bought it, I did not like it.

Empire of the rising sun remains one of my all time favorite games. He did not differentiate between “which I like more” or “which is better”. And I STILL stick by Avalon hill, in either case.

The original space invaders. By an odd twist of fate, namely someone donated them, my synagogue had a number of old arcade of it in the basement, much frequented by youth. May be a simple game, but great fun, especially with a crowd watching.

What's the best 'Clix team set-up to take on the Dark Phoenix?

[mactbone]

Why would you bother? She'll realize her mistake and end her own life.

[DinoDoc]

Not before she eats the sun. Not a comic book question anyway.

1: Warez da ROMZ at?

2: Why did you like Psychonauts?

3: Do you think sports games will evolve to being more based on downloading updated rosters via XBOX Live and related services, instead of releasing the same game every year with minor changes?

4: How do you think Microsoft's "Surface" might effect gaming?

5: Why isn't there enough interest to generate games which offer a multi player mix in which one or two player takes on the role of an RTS god, and everyone else assumes an F or TPS role?

6: Why do people make, and buy, Game Video Games (i.e. Monopoly, MtG, Jew Gi Ooh, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune etc.)

7: Is Rez really as good as it's supposed to be?

8: Was AOE 3 any significant improvement over AOE 2? B/c AOE 2 had LOTS of replay value.

9: What are some 360 must haves?

10: Are there any good non-fantasy non-sci fi MMORPGs?

The Blind Guardian song "Precious Jerusalem" is blaring in my testicles as I think of this thread. LoTM, will you marry me?

Distinction is needed-handheld players like gbas, the ds etc, and older systems, like the genesis or snes, or gamecube and PS1.

For gba, ds etc, some websites are still up, but most of the good ones are gone, see the next.

For gamecube and PS, bit torrent, or rapidshare, or dc++ hubbs.

2: Why did you like Psychonauts?

Cool graphics and "odd" movement mechanics. I love any game where you control people that move in odd ways, such as spiderman.

3: Do you think sports games will evolve to being more based on downloading updated rosters via XBOX Live and related services, instead of releasing the same game every year with minor changes?

No. Sports games are based on slapping a +1 year on it every year, making a few minor tweeks, then selling it to the mass market. What you describe will be more work, but no more profitable.

4: How do you think Microsoft's "Surface" might effect gaming?

5: Why isn't there enough interest to generate games which offer a multi player mix in which one or two player takes on the role of an RTS god, and everyone else assumes an F or TPS role?

Because "suits" stifle the creativity of game developers, demanding they point to games that came out last year, to justify their funding. This is the death of innovation.

6: Why do people make, and buy, Game Video Games (i.e. Monopoly, MtG, Jew Gi Ooh, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune etc.)

Games are created either to make money, or because the person doing so enjoys it, always money, not neccesarily the other, though it can be both.

7: Is Rez really as good as it's supposed to be?

No.

8: Was AOE 3 any significant improvement over AOE 2? B/c AOE 2 had LOTS of replay value.

AOE3 was a steaming pile of crap and a huge step down from AOE2, namley but not limited too, FAR steeper system requirments and a visible play area the size of a postage stamp.

9: What are some 360 must haves?

That mall zombie game, that was fun. Gears of war was good too.

10: Are there any good non-fantasy non-sci fi MMORPGs?

*GOOD*? No. Most MMORPGs since asherons call however, have been crap. I'd say planetside *WAS*, but that is an MMOFPS, not an MMORPG.

I liked the Avalon Hill games a lot better. Civilzation, Republic of Rome, Squad Leader/ Advanced Squad Leader, Battle of the Bulge, Third Reich... all are/were favorites.
