What games to get?

pritchke · 06-11-2003, 02:43 PM

I am thinking of trading in many of my games I don't play anymore.

To give you an idea of what I like these are the games I am keeping.

Baldur's Gate Series
IWD Series
Might & Magic 1 to 8
Heroes of Might & Magic 1 to 3
Age of Wonders
Diablo
Starcraft
Thief 1 & 2
MOO2
Civ3
Final Fantasy 7

The rest of my games I am going to trade in.
Homeworld, Age of Empires, Rouge Squadron, Evil Island, Vampire: the masquerade, Quake III: Arena, Call to Power II, Kings Quest 5 & 8, Gabriel Knight III, and a bunch of others. Many of these games are good games just not much replay value.

So what games would be good? Some of the games at the store were
Throne of Darkness
Diablo II
Wizardy 8
War Craft III
Black & White with expansion
The Sims
NWN

Any idea how these games above are? or suggestions on new games you would consider getting?

I've heard good things about all of those games except Throne of Darkness (haven't heard much about that). I've only played the IWD series (and enjoyed them a lot, though not as much as the BG series). From what I've heard, I'd pick Warcraft III.

Of just that list I would pick wizardry 8.

Yes I'd pick WC III not only do ya' get a good game, but it has an expainsion coming out.

Throne of Darkness is just like Diablo 2. However it is in Japanese era ( samurai, ninjas all that ).

From that list, I'll choose Wizardry 8 too.

Ok, I made the trade. They gave me $54 for my used games, There were games were I was surprised to not get hardly anything for games like Gabriel Knight 3, really good game to play at least once, but I am not complaining because they gave me $18 for Messiah, I hated that game, plus it is 3 times what I paid for it on e-bay.

Anyway I could not find most of the games I was looking at last week. I guess alot of trading, buying goes on so games dissappar quicker.

The games I got were:
1. Fallout: Tactics
2. Rune
3. Magic and Mayham
4. The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard
5. Anachronox
6. Zeus: Master of Olympus

I think that was it and I ended up with a few coins to spare. I think I will enjoy these games and I got rid of quite a pile I had no use for any longer. Plus I have extra space in my game cupboard now. Now all I need is time to play, currently in the middle of a BG game. The GF keeps me on the phone each day longer than I like, occasionally she catches me not paying attention while playing a game. I am pretty good at multi-tasking

I recall playing Magic and Mayham.. great game [img]smile.gif[/img] Redguard is a fun adventure as well (check out the excellent music during the intro), but if you don't have a Voodoo 3D Card you'll have to play in low resolutions.
