I'm rather alone in my Mac-loving enlightenment here sadly :^( Fortunately, we've managed to build up a LAM at home over the years to make up for it.

(p.s.) the original controls for that game are shit.

I don't remember. I always remap as soon as I start a game up :^)

The Baldurs Gate series.

BG1
BGTOSC
BG2
BGTOB

They have completley ruined all future computer RPG's for me as nothing holds a candle to them imho.

Durandal is a noted Mac fan here. I am as well, but I refuse to drink the Kool-Aid or be subsumed by the RDF.

Well I meant 'here' as in where I live, but maybe SD.net is where some people live nowadays :^)

Best RPG I ever played, though the best moment of any was the end of Disk 1 of FFVII. I was in shock and refused to play the thing for days. You shouldn't get that attached to a bunch of pixels.

Favourite of all time?

Crap. I probably played more Tribes 2 and MOO2 than any other game, but the all time winner for me has been SOLDAT, because it's free and I have been able to play it on any crap system or any crap connection.

Nonetheless, my favourite game to actually play was Duke Nukem 3D, first time out.

Playing Duke 3d for the first time was uber rad. It was like.... woah, its a 3d shooter with cussing in it.... woah, that chick is dancing topless

Championship Manager. I will forever remember my heroic Hartlepool United side who won the champions league.

Mine would have to be, well, pretty much everything I've played, but here are a few of my favorites:

The whole C&C series, excluding Generals (computer can't play it, so I dunno what it's like yet

)
Half-Life, and all it's storebought mods (Counter-Strike, TFC, Blue Shift, Opforce, etc.), plus Firearms and NS
Halo (great X-box FPS, I didn't think they could pull it off, but they did, and very well at that)
Starcraft and its addon (Brood War), although I didn't like the damn lurkers online against people who knew how to use them

Quake 3, Unreal 2003, Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike, and Counter-Strike, to name a few fun FPS (Richochet is kinda nice too - comes with newest update of HL)

Those are current favorites, but here are some honorable mentions from the past:
Arcade - Pacman (munch munch munch!)
N64 - Conker's Bad Fur Day ("I am the great and mighty Poo, I'm gonna throw my shit on you.....")
Nintendo - Mario Golf (I never quite figured out how golf works with a 2 button controller)
N64 - Star Wars: Rouge Squadron - Pretty fun, and good graphics (in fact, I'm gonna go play that right now, cya)

Hmm... Favorite PC game would have to be X-Com: UFO Defense. Favorite console game is definitely Chrono Trigger.

No ... but the fact that you can actually block super moves, and its not so choppy is a plus. Theres a better starwars fighter for PS2... although i cant remember what its called =/

Too many to list, notables are:

JetStrike,

Too...many...can't...choose...

...but the list definitely includes

SSI's Goldbox games
Bard's Tale series
BG series & IWD 1

...and an 'honorable mention' to Might & Magic II, the game that taught me that a mixed-gender party is not only fun but vital!

non-computer

Risk
Clue
Monopoly ('Wir haben noch 16 Geld')
D&D
Triomino (basically dominoes with triangular tiles)
Scrabble (note to fellow players:'Xylophonilluminator' is usually NOT accepted to be a real word)

Both lists are not complete, naturally.
