Westwood studios. Command and conquer tiberian sun was my very first computer game, which I loved dearly (and still have on my computer since it’s freeware now and has been fan patched for modern systems)

Well and then came EA.

@GregorGizeh @Telorand you can get it free now?? I had given it up for dead...

GregorGizeh,

Yup, it’s Freeware since a few years now and has even spawned a brilliant standalone mod using its engine. Here is the link:

And if you want to check out the mod I mentioned, it’s called twisted insurrection. It delivers on many things that were lacking in the original, and has an extensive OST with some pieces by frank klepacki himself (made a lot of the music used in the original series). You can check out some trailers on YouTube. Mod Link:

How has no on said this yet.

Booting Halo was my go-to for like 10 years as the first three games came out. Literally 10s of thousands of hours.

baconicsynergy,

Bungie gave me some of the best gaming childhood memories.

So much Halo. I was obsessed with it as a kid. The gameplay, the story… It was a SciFi gaming masterpiece. Super fond memories.

I’m also a HUGE fan of classic Marathon and Pathways Into Darkness. People don’t give these games the credit they are due, and everyone should play them. You can find the Alephone engine, open-sourced by Bungie, and play all of the Marathon games and community scenarios completely free. A well-respected community member even ported Pathways to the engine.

Telorand,

Depends on people’s age! I was beyond childhood when that came out, but it was a game changer for me getting to play a FPS that was couch co-op. All FPS games to that point were mostly (all?) multiplayer competitive. PvE was always a solo experience until then!

Apogee!

baconicsynergy,

I had the Apogee game collection on a CD that was super important to me growing up. I’d like to find it again

Me too. Great games in their era.

This might work?

xilliah,

I occasionally play secret agent and crystal caves. Got them on gog.

Westwood Studios, Sierra Online

tuckerm,

I never played the classic "Quest" games that Sierra made, but they published a bunch of really good ones from other developers, too.

I remember their logo coming up before each of the Half-Life, SWAT, Tribes, and F.E.A.R. games. I was always like, "dang, someone there knows how to pick 'em."

Neversoft, Rareware, Sega, Activision, EA, and Bethesda created a lot of great memories from my childhood. Neversoft is defunct, Sega still makes some decent stuff but nowhere near what they did in the 90s, EA is EA, and the rest are now owned by Microsoft... so...

I just got THPS3 for windows (from Neversoft) running on my Ubuntu pc yesterday. So much fun, I find a way to play it once every ten years or so.

THPS1 and THPS3 are untouchable masterpieces. The Tony Hawk license never faltered when they were in charge.

Blizzard, boy was I fucking wrong.

Telorand,

Hey, nobody can predict the future. I loved the first few *Craft games.

Elden Ring’s main theme is literally the only video game song I have in my normal music rotation.

But only because Lunar Silver Star Story’s isn’t on Spotify.

dgbbad,

I love the Lunar SSS intro, but I’m still partial to the OG Sega CD intro. It gets me pumped up to this day.

As soon as I saw the title, I was gonna say Maxis, too. I like how they called their games “software toys”.
