|
Bard's Tale 1 - Tales from the Unknown: 7/10 points |
Loved it on the Commodore 64 at the time. Simple but enjoyable, as long as you enjoy drawing maps. Plan to replay it soon. |
Elder Scrolls 3 - Morrowind: 10/10 points |
Equal best RPG ever with Ultima 7 parts 1 and 2. Top marks for immersiveness and ability to do almost anything. With the Construction set and mods available you could conceivably play this game forever with the same character |
Eye of the Beholder: 7/10 points |
Very good dungeon crawl for its time. One of the first games I remember to allow you to actually clear a level, adding to the realism. (Also, respawning monsters piss me off.) |
Eye of the Beholder 2 - The Legend of Darkmoon: 7/10 points |
Equally good sequel to a very good game. |
Fallout - A Post Nuclear Adventure: 9/10 points |
Near perfect. Great skills system. Party members became annoyingly useless towards the end though. I didn't like leaving them all dead but got sick of reloading to keep them alive. |
Gothic 2: 2/10 points |
Too difficult to control. |
Might & Magic 4 - Clouds of Xeen: 8/10 points |
Great fun. Simple plot , but addictive gamplay. Automap easily lets you see where you've been. Dungeon levels are small and easy to navigate. |
Planescape: Torment: 9/10 points |
Great story, great game. |
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords: 10/10 points |
Great story - Just as good as the first.
Slightly rushed at the end, but the rest of the game makes up for it. |
Ultima 4 - Quest of the Avatar: 10/10 points |
I gave this a 10 mainly because of it's originality. No big evil wizard or monster to kill. Just a quest to become a better person. Sounds lame but worked perfectly. This game took Ultima from a good RPG series into an undeniable classic. This is also the game that made me wander through school in a haze for a few months, having stayed up playing Ultima 4 all night. |
Ultima 5 - Warriors of Destiny: 8/10 points |
Would have got a 10 but I got bored when I got into the Underworld. Too much combat and aimless exploration for my liking. Having started the game 3 or 4 times since 1988 I only finished it for the first time last year. Needed the help of a walkthrough so I didn't wander around the Underworld forever. |
Ultima 6 - The False Prophet: 9/10 points |
Great end to the Avatar trilogy (Ultima 4 to 6) back in the days when each new Ultima was better than the last. |
Ultima 7 - Serpent Isle (Sequel): 10/10 points |
Equal best RPG of the 90s with Part 1. More linear but makes up for it with more involved plot. |
Ultima 7 - The Black Gate: 10/10 points |
One of the best games ever. Better day/night NPC schedules than anything I've played before or since (apart from Ultima 7 Part 2.) |
Ultima Underworld 1 - The Stygian Abyss: 7/10 points |
Very good game. Not a classic though IMO. Best pure dungeon crawl I've played. |
Ultima Underworld 2 - Labyrinth of Worlds: 8/10 points |
Great game. Better than UW1 IMO. I particularly liked the way the conversations in the castle changed as the game went on, instead of everyone saying the same things over and over. |
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines: 9/10 points |
Brilliant for the most part - The ending was slightly annoying, turning into an FPS for the last few quests. But some of the earlier stuff was perfect. Great game! |
Wasteland: 3/10 points |
I only just played this game recently so don't have nostalgia affecting my review. It hasn't aged well, and fighting wandering robots became tedious very quickly, but I can see it had some good points for it's time. Didn't have the patience to finish without extensively referring to a walkthrough though. |
