Is In Your Base, Killing Your Pokemans

RIP The Matrix Online
I miss this game so much, it kicked a ton of ass in beta, i was able to get in tight with devs and actually had 2 of my ability concepts incorporated in the game. SOE got a hold of the game a little bit after release and it all went to hell.

I miss the Live Events that had game staff playing characters ingame. The storyline. The "break-away" style with combat and gameplay (you could essentially own every ability in game if you wanted to, trade abilities with people, sell abilities, and my favorite, mix and match abilities to create your own class [SMG Xprt+Rifle Xprt])/.......

    Never got a chance to play the game, wish I would've played but that's when my mom rejected monthly fees for games when it first came out. =(

    Worrying is about as effective as chewing gum to solve algebra

    I never played the Matrix games, I could never quite understand the attraction of movie/game tie-ins.

    I really miss the original Lemmings. Back when it was good.

    I also miss the Quake and mods there of. Nothing like playing Quake as Airwolf and Garfield.

      I think the allure of MxO was essentially it was a continuation of the movies, literally (at least in concept), all the characters and what not. It was nothing like any current or past movie based games...also being an MMO ya know, pretty sweet. I agree that most movie->game games aren't so good, the other Matrix games non-mmo were not good at all really.

      What was lemmings?

      and good call on Quake mods

      homang i never played any of the Mech Warrior games but i remember when i was younger (i was never aloud to have a console in our house, hence my PC game preference) wanting to play any and all of the Transformers or the more commonly found knockoffs like "Carchangers!" in the $9.99 bargain wrack at Target

      Dude I still own & play my copy. I even have Dune 1 and play that which I think was way better game play wise. But thats me.

      XCOM ROCKS! I played a few versions of this. The 1st version I have to say was the best. 2nd not so much as it had issues, more so then 1. The DS one wasn't too bad but the AI of your team sucked.
      XCOM 1 was rather easy to get to a point where you can't lose though. Ya kinda hit a wall of how far ya can go too. But still a fun old game.

    I miss WoW, but that's only because I've not played in about two months.


    Seriously I miss all of the games I had on my old PC that won't run on a "new" computer. Like Caesar II. :(

    Played Final Fantasy Games Before FF7

    X-wing: Alliance, and pretty much all the other X-wing series games. New OSes simply don't like running old games :(

        I know right? Hell cows. You haven't lived till you beat the hell cows. Or found the bunnies in hell. My friends thought me batshit insane when I kept muttering about those bloody bunnies.

    Shut up and die.

    Old-school: TIE Fighter. And the X-Wing games. But most importantly, the original TIE Fighter flight sim for Star Wars. I miss the days of huge missions, tons to do, objectives left and right.

      yeah, you don't see a lot of that anymore, KOTOR was kinda sandboxish like that though.

        Train simulator (via floppies). It was one of the first games I played and it rocked, because it got me into the whole sim thing :V

    I go where I please, and I please where I go

    Hmm... nothing I can't run on MAME or ScummVM.

    I tell you what though, the very first Oddworld game, Abe's Oddessy. I loved that game, although it runs awfully on my computer, the resolution only goes up to something like 800x600. I still have the CD.
