10 That Tennis game on Dreamcast, can't remember name

Nice work on the comparisons, maxfisher! I'm kinda suprised at some of the games that that didn't get any votes here, like Yoshi's Island, Metal Gear Solid 2, and NiGHTS.

I think the problem is there are many games that just didn't make it into people's top ten lists but might have made it into the top 20, so some great games just didn't get mentioned. Eventually they probably would have been mentioned but our sampling just isn't big enough.

The list did make me go out and re-buy Starcraft to start playing that again. Bloody awesome game. Too bad Master of Orion 2 doesn't run in XP - i have heard great things but have never gotten to play it.

Have you installed the 1.31 patch? http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=1792

If it still doesn't work, people have reported that it works perfectly if you disable DirectDraw acceleration in dxdiag.

I don't even have the game. I had looked online and it appeared to not work on XP so i never looked at picking it up. If this patch works out then i'll have to see if i can find a copy somewhere.

1.X-com (It's never been topped...ever)
2.Civ. series (just one more turn...)
3.Half-life
4.Diablo series (free online play was awesome)
5.Starcraft (ditto with #4...even though I sucked at it)
6.Techmo Bowl (NES) (we played the heck out of this game in highschool)
7.Baldurs Gate series (combine parts 1+2 with both expansion packs and you had months of game time, something you don't see anymore)
8.Mario Karts (N64)
9.Unreal Tournament series
10.Medieval:Total war (and the whole total war series)

I've played a ton of games but I've only finished a handful of them legit.

I still wanna know what was going on over on Mars with the phony subplot that they put in the paragraphs.

Cheater! Cheater! You vicious person who reads ahead!

Remember that Choose Your Own Adventure book that you had to cheat to get the good ending? It was a UFO book and the ending where you made it to paradise was in the book but nothing lead to it, you had to cheat.
