Favorite Five Games to Waste Time

[gaijinalways]

I forgot about the Thief series . I really enjoyed 'The Metal age Thief II.'. Kinda different game, though since I was never good enough for expert (maybe should have got a joystick for that), I still enjoyed killing a few people in most quests. I like how some aspects were open-ended enough that how you finished a quest varied a lot ( of course my time finishing the game was nothing to write home about, but fun as a solo game). I kinda forgot about Civ II as well, used to waste some time on that one too, though I thought the battles were boring , the tech planning and expanding trade was interesting.

6. Master of Orion II.
7. Elite (or some clone)
8. UFO / X-Com franchise
9. Civ II.
10. Carrier Command

[Powermonger]

The Bioware RPGs are popular picks :)

I forgot about Severance too, that was a great hack'n'slash game and it's a pity Rebel Act disolved before they could finish Severance II.

Other picks would be:

6. Powermonger
7. Icewind Dale
8. Icewind Dale II
9. Championship Manager 01/02
10. Heavy Gear II

BoD2 was never even started, just talked about. BoD itself was never even a finished game, there is alot of unused code for enemies and weapons, and even character animations that were never used. Some of the members of Rebel Act formed another dev studio and were working on another game which has now also vanished. There is still a small modding community in existance also.
