Thought to make a thread about what other games we play beside live for speed.. here is my story of how i found live for speed and what was before that :)

So, what i remember i started my gaming with Wolfenstein Enemy Territory at age of ~12-13, an ~2003 fps shooter. I had played alot other games on PSone and commodore but this is the game sticking to my mind first, i played it for a few years.. got into clans and basicly improved my eye/hand coordination by alot.

Next big game to come my mind is Rakion, i started playing that few years later.. it was 3d battling game with great mixture of action and strategy.. along with that i played some other FPS games like BF2, F.E.A.R. and Delta Force. I quess fps games were mostly my cup of tea in that time.

Some time later brother bought a new Playstation 2, so that was the next big thing for me :) I played mostly NHL 04's dynasty mode and Gran turismo 2 and 3, they were my first touch to racing games in general..
Along playing with PS2 i found this space 3d shooter called Space Cowboys Online (horrible name, i know :P ), later to be known as AirRivals. I played that for a few months but at that time my laptop just wasn't enough to run it without lag. I was really sad since it was exactly what i was looking for a game back then.. I tried it later just to be found the game had pretty much died.

After that, at the age of ~16 i found Warcraft 3, an real time strategy game.. First i fell in love with the original game and later my friend guided me to play the DotA mode of it, i spent the next coming years with WC3 :) After that i found Live for Speed from an advert, played in the demo for bit over a year.. Then bought S2 and here i am :)

So umm, yeah.. i very likely missed loads and loads of games i dont remember right now but those are the ones sticking most clearly to my mind.

Beside LFS, i'm playing this text based rpg called Torn City, really good time waster if you dont quite have time for anything else :) I occasionally play World of Tanks and League of Legends as well, though i must admit the spark for those games has diminished quite a bit.

For single player i recently bought Farcy 3 and the Mass Effect series, really good fun if the internet isn't working for some reason :thumb:

And umm, i quess that's about it.. a few games that pop into my mind when i'm thinking back :)

I have never really been into computer gaming. Actually LFS is the only pc game I play. These games about warfare never caught me and I guess they never will :wink:

The kids have a Nintendo Wii with a lot of different games, I think it is made beautifully but I am not enthousiastic about playing it myself.

If I'd write down a list of all games that I can remember I've been playing for, my list would be almost endless. So I'll shrink my list and write down only those games that have been my biggest faves along the way.

The 1st one that I can remember is The Maze of Galious for SVI-728 MSX. As long as I can remember, I never managed to play it through 100% tho.

The 2nd one was F1 Spirit also for SVI-728 MSX. The first racing game that I remember playing for and it was a great game back then. Mainly because unlike many other racing games at that time, you had so many cars to choose from and possibility to tune them up.

The 3rd one was Elite for Commodore 64. Spent some countless hours and sleepless nights with it. :D The Great Giana Sisters for C64 was big hit also. I also loved Test Drive as well. It was the 1st "driving simulation" that I ever played. Out Run was one of those arcade racing games that I used to play back then.

After having my C64 for couple of years, I made the next big step and bought Amiga 500. What a giant leap for a teenager. :woop:
I continued playing Elite with Amiga, although there was big bunch of other games that I also liked to play.
Some of them were Oil Imperium, Millennium 2.2, Lost Patrol, The Secret of Monkey Island, Zak McKracken, Hunter, Nuclear War, Street Rod 1 & 2 and many, many more. Oh, those golden times of Amiga... :respect:

While still having my Amiga around, I had my first PlayStation. Silent Hill, Gran Turismo 1 & 2, Medal of Honor and Final Fantasy VII were few of my favourite PS1 games.

After having PlayStation it was kind of natural choice to move on with PS2. Played lots of Gran Turismo 3 & 4 with it as well as Tourist Trophy, Silent Hill 2 & 3, SSX-series, Medal of Honor-series, Ace Combat-series, Colin McRae-series among with many, many other games.
MSX, C64, Amiga and PS1 are long gone for now, but I still have my trusty ol' PS2 and I'm still playing with it occassionally.

With PC I played Project IGI 1 & 2, Delta Force-series and some of those games from NFS-series. (Underground 2, Most Wanted and Carbon)
Nowadays I'm still playing games like the legendary Battlefield 2, Modern Warfare-series, rFactor, Farming Simulator 2011 :lol: , Flight Simulator X, Race Driver Grid, Colin McRae Dirt-series, NFS Shift, Test Drive Unlimited and LFS - of course. :)

As said; could've listed way more of games for any of those platforms, but I think this is enough for now...

I play LFS most of the times. Likely most Cargame and got some favorite tracks on TC citydriving.

If I don't play LFS I have GTA4, ETS2 or Simcity 4. Depends on my mood which one I play.

Nice! Its on my list too. I used to do LAN parties amoung my friends last summer during vacation. Hopefully it will repeat this year aswell. Love it and always will.

On the other hand my time is very limmited at the moment because exams are comming, but I am occasionally playing games such as Battlefield 2, Don't Starve and Super Hexagon (Hell YEAH!). Probably after I'll be passing in year 5 of college without any remaining exams, I'll be updating this list. :thumb:

Playing other games is soo boring, but developing my own games much more interesting: so who brings it until level 54? ==> http://home.arcor.de/soeren_scharf/smiley.zip

...to be honest, it is not my own game idea, originally it was a game on the gameboy (Quirk, if someone can remember), I have rewritten it to learn some new programming techniques back in the old days of Windows 3.11 :D

Anyone else here tried gtr2 with power and glory? Been playing a lot lately since 3.0 and 3.1 has made it better imo. Epic cars from a golden era of racing. Just wish Aus didn't suck quite as much when it comes to internet access as I reckon these old cars would be great fun online. Also got hooked on cities in motion for some reason. :fp: :)

Heroes of Might and Magic 3.5: Wake of Gods


Thats all till I get new PC, and when I get new PC:

Live For Speed
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat Redux
World of Tanks
Minecraft
AEons of Death
Dungeon Defenders / 2

That's all I guess. I should get a new one in 2014 January


EDIT: Yeah! Age of Empires 2 Expansion! Good game, but doesn't work on me atm. Maybe I should try it again!

EDIT2: Need for Speed 2 and Need for Speed 2 Special Edition: Those games are best NFS games ever played. ( All new ones suck as hell, Underground era too! My opinion only ofc)

EDIT3: PlayStation ERA

Gran Turismo series
Spyro the Dragon series
Smuggler's Run ( lol, epic game if you troll the enemy hahaha! )
Doom ( good one in PS, but gets a bit slow when alot of monsters in map. I could hack it and I putted more enemies to make it harder. But then everything started to shoot each other and I just waited on corner with mighty BFG 9000 lolloti lol. Doesn't work anymore though :( But I have maps saved on my Hard Disc)
Croc series
many other singular games as well

Nintendo series

Super Mario Bros series
Off Road
NES Golf

many other singular games as well


EDIT: Guys! let's play some Dungeon Keeper! Anyone? 1 please. 2 is good too but not in my taste

Hey there,

I've been pretty slow when it comes to my favorite games.

When driving is concerned, it all started with the original...
"The Need For Speed - Special Edition" - PC (yes, i know, the original was for some exotic console, still:
I'll say: it was the best nfs ever conceived - point-to-point 3-stage-races anyone?
Just shy of this praise is "NFS Porsche unleashed" (PC!!) - no other arcade driving/racing game got replayed by me as many times! Unfortunately just half a year after I got flatrate internet acces, EA took the master servers down for online-play (only to flood stores with some special edition 15€-edition diskt (with bundled audio-cd) the christmas after)... ...what a joke, EA!

Anyway: NFS-Porsche == lift-off-oversteer for the win!

EDIT2: Need for Speed 2 and Need for Speed 2 Special Edition: Those games are best NFS games ever played. ( All new ones suck as hell, Underground era too! My opinion only ofc)

Never played nfs2 with the exeption to the demo that ran abysmally slow on that P100 I was allowed to play it on. I'd say NFS 1-SE still beats it for at least perceived-realistic driving feel (judging by the nfs2-demo-experience).

Other driving games: TDU-1 ... was like running on Fakir's streets: interconnecting patches of mis-treated concrete instead of roads, well: some good keyboard fun (wheel proved to be unusable, at best). Again: game servers down, now. Mercedes Automatics had to be shifted manually!? What a bunch of BS. Needless to say I did NOT take that Piece of Junk seriously. Still: bought the steel-cover/-disk/-whatever-edition.

The other half of my youth were spent on "Die Siedler 2" by BlueByte. The original DOS-version! I have recently re-visited that in Dosbox (running on beatuiful GNU/Linux) - as I have NFS 1SE(!) - I still have kept that original CDROM(s)... I kind of suck at NFS1 nowadays. Sieder2 is just worlds too easy, once I figured its logic out.

Recently I have bought the original two "Commandos"-titles second-hand and have played them under wine (I wish I had had that pleasure much sooner: so much depth! Really rewarding to get that right!)

Oh and last but not least: Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.1 and '95 -> that version where every mountain looked just a uniform shade of mid-saturated green - I only new I was to close to that piece of earth after I crashed. (Pentium1-100Mhz, 32bit-S3 graphics with like 2 Mbyted RAM: good for about 64k colours at 1024x768 and like 20-something fps) -- Anyway: "surviving" the passage by VOR-flight from virtual Munich to Insbruck (one-hour flight hopefully around those beloved green heaps of doom (=mountains) in a Cessna 172-ish): priceless!

Did I forget something? Oh yeah:
Rally Masters (as on a CD in a magazine) with the famous Gran Canaria SuperSpecial stage... ...really good fun! The rally-equivalent of NFS-Porsche, actually - fortunately not from EA. Played that on my Pentium2-300Mhz countless hours - was intense!

Richard Burns Rally: about the same time I got into LFS I discovered Richard Burns Rally: Still the best rally-simulation on the PC in terms of realism/difficulty. Hopefully some day this will get a true successor (as in the same spirit)!

Recently there has beed rfactor (although I did hesitate like 5 years to try it - bought the DVD version in late 2011 and I have enjoyed some single-player driving in it (since online is pretty much dead except for leagues and I did not yet feel comfortable enough to really compete in that).

I'll just say: Historix-GT 1.95, Sports Coupés 0.9 and every Car from Niels Heusenkvield (hope I got that name right // Corvette C6-mod, Supra MK_IV) is more than worth a trie. Forget about the ISI-supplied cars, those are awful! Everything with realfeel by design seems to give an authentic impression, forget the rest. Ah yeah: Nordschleife is epic. Just follow Niels' advice in removing any artificial bumps from those track-files, makes a huge difference on realfeel-enabled cars!


I'm sure I passed on some minor side-kicks, but for what it's worth, all really great titles I liked - I listed


Have fun!
