I’ll propose Age of Empires 1. That one is my childhood pretty much 😄

Baldur's Gate, both 1 & 2 on PC (I prefer #1). I had to actively consider whether it had been at least 25 years it came out and...I feel super old now 😅.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm curious, why do you prefer the first one over the second? Baldur's Gate didn't focus on NPC characterization until 2 (I can't imagine playing without the banter!), and I always found low level 2e to be a nightmare due to low health pools and lack of class features. The sequel starts you out at the beginning of the level range where you can actually do stuff without being overpowered.

Final fantasy 8, it is the best, no sarcasm.

I would give a testicle for a proper remake, expand the Laguna story, a more populated world, even more battshitery

[–] loaf@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago

Final Fantasy 4, SNES.

(Still one of the best games I've ever played.)

Total Annihilation

Star Flight, 1986(?). Huge universe, multiple alien races, reputational, on two 360k floppy disks, and a great story too.
