Thanks to Paul Romero, Heroes of Might and Magic (especially III and IV) was hard to beat in the term of soundtrack. Listen to this. Even Bauhaus will be jealous.
Even though Necropolis didn't have the best fighters they had some nice music. Along with Dungeon it was probably my favorite town in the game.

Now we are talking! Dungeon here also! Long live the hordes of black dragons!
And Evil Eyes! What an unit EE used to be! With upgrade it was especially hard to beat Dungeon! Harpy Hags, Manticores, Medusa Queens... They have been only fraction with three flying and two long range units.

Today smithereens and I had a nice gaming-conversation, so I think it's the final time to start some gaming-thread here. So, if you are into PC-games, consoles etc. place your statements here. I started with Atari 2600 somewhere in 1985. Exactly like this:
Now it seems like nice piece from museum... , but in those times it was magnificent... Later on managed even to get much older Odyssey.
Anyway, with PC-explosion in 1990's, adventure games took over, so LucasArts ruled for a while...
My personal favourite up to today remains Grim Fandango
At the end of 1990's I was lost deep inside of world that was ruled by Heroes of Might and Magic and Civilization, and later settled a little bit with FIFA Manager. Now I am almost completely out... But almost...
Next, my son (he's 6) and I have been playing 2600 games. I use them as rewards for whenever he does his math or grammar or music practice or whatever.
I've got Arcade Anthology for the original Xbox. We play the 2600 version of Warlords, Skydiver (well he plays that), Video Game Cube, Adventure, Haunted House, Yars Revenge and a few others. He loves them, and they're the kind of games I don't feel guilty about introducing to a six year old. Plus (except for skydiver), we play together, so he's never rotting in front of a TV. It's collaborative.
We played a few Sony PS1 games (i have old game systems ) and we played Space Invaders and Pong on there, and Asteroids a few times. I think we also played Gauntlet on there a bunch.
I always say this next part to people who I talk about my son and video games with. I don't have a problem bribing him with the occasional transformers episode, star wars movie or video game if he does his math. I wouldn't do my job if someone didn't bribe me with a salary!
My games? I already posted (it was originally its own thread because I didn't see this one). I like Bioshock. Rhem (german puzzle game), Starcraft 1&2, Dune 2000, Counterstrike, Quake 3, Portal and old text based games like Zork or Colossal Cave. (I even programmed a few of my own text based games - some of which are Cure related if anyone is interested!)

Yep. I like the old stuff.
That is just fantastic! spinning-smileyI am more that interested in games you created. My daughter is five and she is into games more and more. StarWars Angry Birds rule her world right now. Regarding the Starcraft 1, I consider myself as Battle.net veteran from 1998. yoda1 I don't know if you have been there in those heroic times... If that means anything to you, I was sleepstalker...

you dont need quality if you have quantity. My favorite was being a necromancer, having an army with over 1000 skeletons. they did pretty much damage.

The world is neither fair nor unfair - It's just us trying to feel that there's some sense in it

I always liked HoMM 3 for you have been able to beat quantity with good tactics. Of course, I loved Necropolis so much, and the necromancy ability was splendid to push the ranks of skeletons into thousands in no time, and vampire lords have been just splendid unit, perhaps the best of all from 4th level, and Necropolis was fraction that used to get most percentage up of all with the upgrade of units... But still, it was weak in comparison with some others. Skeletons and Zombies simply to slow... Only one long-range unit... And after all pretty weak 7th level unit - Bone (Ghost) Dragon... It was always peace of cake to destroy 1000 skeletons with just one shot of 10 archangels led by skilled hero. I remember one historic battle in 1999, where I led the Demons against Necromancers. It was a huge clash of gigantic armies. At the end only Archdevils and vampire lords on the field. My 18 archdevils destroyed over 500 of vampire lords. Of course, because they can fly everywhere and there is no retaliation when they struck. After all 7th level units are always there go give you the bill in the end. So, again for me the Dungeons was only one capable to fight against Archangels... Although the wizards with the upgrade have to say something about that too... All in all HoMM 3 is the best TBS all time IMO. It can beat chess fair and square every day!

This game is still a work in progress, looks interesting huh!?
Papers, please. A Dystopian Document Thriller. The communist state of Arstotzka has ended a 6-year war with neighboring Kolechia and reclaimed its rightful half of the border town, Grestin. Your job as immigration inspector is to control the flow of people entering the Arstotzkan side of Grestin from Kolechia. Among the throngs of immigrants and visitors looking for work are hidden smugglers, spies, and terrorists. Using only the documents provided by travelers and the Ministry of Admission's primitive inspect, search, and fingerprint systems you must decide who can enter Arstotzka and who will be turned away or arrested.
When it comes to games I was probably at my nerdiest around the heyday of Counterstrike and Quake 3, played them a lot (my legs were probably twitching in my sleep chasing after those red and blue flags). Quake remains one of my favorites of all time, and Portal is already legendary.
