I just want a little insight into what games you lot liked in the past
I think my favorites are:
Thief 2:The Metal Age (this one was so good it drove me crazy)
Diablo2: Lord of Destruction
Command & Conqour & Red Alert (the FIRST ones, first PC game I played)
And not forgetting
DOOM 1 (NES) + Quake (PC) & editing when accelerators took off
Sure I forgot some.

Three games that have left their mark on me ( two of which inspired 2080 ).
1. Championship Manager ( the whole series, dating back to 1990 )
2. X-Com ( specifically the first, although the others were quite good too )
3. Grand Turismo 3
A friend of mine was always raving about that, I never played it but I did play XCom:Interceptor which was good. He said that was like a 3D version of the series? Wasnt X Com a turn-based strategy? I like those too.

Yeah, one of the first. Interceptor was an attempt to bring the series to a space combat game but it was pretty poor. There were two other games planned for X-Com before the whole series was canned, one was a FPS shooter which was later used for spares for UT 2003 ( maps mostly I think ). The other was a full 3D version of the original turn based strategy. Big community still if you are interested, I know of at least 3 projects that are attempting to remake the original and they all look promising.
Interesting. When I was young I used to spend HOURS playing turn-based strategies on my old Spectrum cause thats about all it could do
Besides, it was better than doing home-work. lol

- Metroid Prime (GameCube)
- Perfect Dark (N64 -and of course GoldenEye, but they're too similar-)
- Max Payne 1 & 2 (PC)
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
- Monkey Island 1 & 2 (PC)
- Donkey Kong Country (SNES, three of them)
- Super Mario 64 (N64)
- Hitman 1 (PC)
- La Abadía del Crimen (Crime's Abbey, spanish ZX Spectrum game)
1. Unreal ... the old one(way too advanced for its time) and the other UTs
2. The Quake saga (1,2,3 took the fps experience after Doom to what it is today)
3. DeusEx: one of the best storylines I've experienced in a game
4. Daikatana, Sin, Alice, Forsaken
I cant believe I forgot it, a little strange (playing cards on a PC) but also:
Magic the Gathering: Manalink
Its a trading card game. Some of the cards are really expensive to buy individually (rare), hense we play on PC instead
@unreal
Yeah this was really impressive, editing it was new too cause it uses/used subtractive geomitry unlike quake. Really fast renderer for its time.
The battle between UT and Quake3 was amusing too, I think UT won
IMHO

@hitman
I think this was the first game I played using rag-doll? Im not 100% about that.
@Aliens vs Predator
Since im terrified by zeonomorph, this was great! lol
No seriously, Alien is my favorite film. The only one that ever really scared me, apart from gremlins when I was really young.

Sorry for 3 posts in a row but im pleased to see another speccy guy. I would never have learned to program (BASIC) if it wasnt for Sinclair Spectrum (+2A).
I even picked up assembler and figured out how to make games using a light-gun. That was cutting-edge for me at the time!

This were the first graphic adventure I played, based on Umberto Eco's novel "The Name of The Rose". A hard and awesome game, where you have to follow abbey rules at the same time you investigate a crime.
@Oz: Yep, I also learned to code with my ZX Spectrum +2A
