I grew up with SimCity, SimTower, SimAnt, Warcraft and Myst, and really liked them. All I've played recently is SW games, and like them more.

SimCity 3000 is a great game. I like the disasters you can inflict upon your city. :D

Blah, Myst. Hated that game ... Actually I only played Myst 3 because someone gave it to me (I still have it somewhere) but I hated it so much. It was really quite lame.

Warcraft was a good game although in one of them (either I or II) the orc house things look like santas workshop with the candy candes etc outside.

Good times.... good times....

Zork...is that the game how he is an alien nerd and the point of the game is to get the key or whatever? If it is, all I have to say is this: Goddamn flowers!

I played Chrono Cross for the PS when it came out and HATED it. A friend recommended Chrono Trigger to me and I have to say, that game is awesome.

Another great game:
Planescape: Torment. Excellent game and you can get it for like 5 bucks in a double pack with another game.

Too much thinking involved?

Thinking isn't the problem. That bloody rocket puzzle is insurmountable if you're tone deaf.

Actually, having given it further thought, I believe that the worst game ever made was E.T. for the Atari 2600.

There's the solution in one of the books in the library.

I found the combat disappointing though.

I meant the first Myst. I do have Riven (2) and Revelation (4), but that only one I really liked was the first one.

When I got older I was able too solve the rocket puzzle by ear, but when I was younger I had to go to the library, draw the picture, and count the keys/panel notches. Though it can be done visually, it's a hassle and takes a long time.

In Myst 4 there is a puzzle where you have to listen to the mangree's(sp) calls and imitate them using three wheels, each producing a different tone. The object is to call each of the animals by name, and navigate them to four different tree nests, so as to put them in the proper locations to cause the comadile(sp) that is chasing you/them to fall in a pit. Once the comadile(sp) is in the pit you need to instruct the mangree(sp) to throw something at it, and knock it unconscious, thus allowing you to make your escape.

The puzzle is timed, and very sensitive. The animals only react to the exact turning of the wheels, and for the puzzle's final step you have only a split second to make your flawless move before having to start over. I had all the mangrees(sp) in their proper nests, and the game saved so I could try the last step a million times if need be. It never worked right. Worst puzzle ever; it didn't take intellect, but rather fast reaction time and an incredible ear; all the later Mysts are like that. Sorry for such a long rant, I had forgotten about that puzzle.

Master of Magic by SimTex. A fantastic game after it was patched, although small in scale compared to modern games. You can download it from: Home of the Underdogs .
If are interested enough to look up that game, Master of Orion by SimTex is also worth investigating, also from Home of the Underdogs .
...

Master of Magic and Master of Orion are very fun. I downloaded them from some abandonware site a few years ago and like them a lot more than any of the modern games I was playing at the time.

Well, I think I'll show you a site I really like for a few of their games, which are pretty good:

Classic Gaming Archive

Most if not all are freeware and, well, free for download with free membership.

How can you NOT know what Zork is? I'm willing to bet all my peanut M&M's that Zork was a strong influence in Jeff Vogel's game creation. After all, it was the first RPG created on a computer.

The original Myst took my breath away. It was the first time I'd ever seen 3D graphics, and it blew my mind that something so beautiful and amazing could be created in a computer.

Then Riven came out, and it was so much better. I realised that the original really was quite... I don't want to say lame, but certainly incomplete. In Myst, everything existed purely for puzzles. Some of those puzzles weren't bad, and the whole thing looked really nice, but there was definite room for improvement. Riven really was close to being as good as a Myst game could be. The puzzles fit within the logic of the world, and stuff had a good, sensible reason to be there rather than simply for the sake of puzzles, the world was less static, and it was even more spectacular.

Myst III... eh. Fun, but not great. I did like Dourif's performance, but the whole storyline felt too tacked-on to the other two, and it was pretty static for the bulk of the game, and somehow it just didn't feel as spectacular.
