Top ten of games

**Kraellin** · 04-23-2005, 05:55

i dont think i played mechwarrior ii, but i played iii and iv. iv was quite good. i played iii online, but the hackers were rampant and it was quite disappointing. iv played online was pretty good. if i remember correctly, iv had the cheat buster software, preventing as least the novice hackers from making a mess of things. i also liked the campaign in iv and still play a bit now and then. the modding of mechs was much better in iv also and with the expansion packs, even more so. a 100 ton mech with jets, now that's getting ugly :)

i also just started a new thread in here dealing with old dos mode games. i just installed Empire, one of those games i listed in my top ten, onto my win98 machine. it took a bit to get it installed and running, but actually wasnt too hard. i was quite surprised i could get it working, but it did run and run smootly.

Total Annihilation won rave reviews by everyone who played it, but other than that, no one even heard about it, kind of like a Warcraft 1 thing.

Mechwarrior II came free with my old Celeron years ago. It kept crashing and I could never get it to work, until I realized that I needed to change my settings to 256 colours! I'd be doomed to illegal operation errors if I tried it now. The game was a blast, though (not pun intended).

Didn't Total annihilation come about about the same time as AoE ?

I've always wondered why AoE was the more succesful game, and yet, people still play it to this day.

Just curious as to why you thought it was like C&C. Bar the fact that they are both RTS games and both are futuristic, I'm struggling to think of similarities.
