Lets get it on There are rules, and they follow. I have been guided by the earlier posts when this list was being discussed. I may clarify as we go along. 1. You can recommend a maximum of 10 games, but you can recommend less. 2. You can't list a series, unless you use single votes for each game. 3. Expansion packs will be considered seperate games, on the basis that the original might be ordinary but an expansion pack superb. 4. Any game that is not pure adventure can be listed, irrespective of genre. 5. You don't have to indicate the type or genre, and you are not limited to any specific number of games in any genre. Go ahead and list 10 rpg's if you choose. We will keep the thread open for about 2 weeks. At the end of it all I will compile an alphabetical list and a numerical list, and with the help of Zanthia we will also categorise the games into genres. So without further ado, here is my humble contribution. Outcast System Shock 2 Realms of the Haunting Deus Ex Ceasar 3 Alpha Centauri Half Life Twinsuns Odyssey
Quantity has a quality all of its own

I think we should try and stick to pc games Jude, particularly as that is the way people have started.
