Did anyone play "Outlaws"?

(click to show/hide)

Pretty good old FPS that I personally played the shit out of....It came out in '97, so I was about 6.

Alot of games I loved, and still do, were mentioned.
From what I can remember, few are missing; Planescape: Torment, Arcanum and Diablo (the original).
Edit: thread inspired me to play "Beneath the steel sky".

Alot of these have been said already but I'd still like to share my thoughts.

-Diablo 1 (scared the shit out of me and my friend when we used to play late nights in summer)
-Ultima online (my first and last mmo)
-Age of empires (played the day it came out and was addicted for months)
-Sim Ant
-Chrono Trigger (fav RPG)
-Stronghold (not really old but still good)
-Nightmare 3d (old doom ripoff type shooter, loved the music)
-Heroes of might and magic 3
-Age of wonders (love this game probably my fav turn based strategy )
-X-COM UFO (My fav turn based strategy)
-Starcraft (played the shit out of this one till got bored and played td's for awhile after)
-Warcraft 2 (Loved it)
-Counter-strike (My most played game, started playing in '99 when it was in beta and still a mod for hl. quit around the time steam came out and forced you to dl steam to play. Love steam now but back in the day I saw it as the enemy.)

-Sim Ant
-X-COM UFO (My fav turn based strategy)

Can't believe how much I played Sim Ant as a kid.

X-Com was amazing, but way too hard for me when I was a kid.  Picked it back up couple years ago and really got into it, even if it was 10 years too late

morrowind beats oblivion by a mile and a foot

Shivering Isles expansion had a drop-jaw world if completed, Oblivion vanilla was just... Meh... especially after proving how cool they could get with Morrowind... After the Dunmer culture, the Oblivion centerpiece being boring empire missing 7 skills and watered down magic and cookie cutter western was just...  blegh, though the Oblivion plane was cool in some spots...

Meh...

And since when is Oblivion old school?!
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Exactly, I am in love with it for being original, characters you actually give a crap about (face it, The Mad God made you come back for more with his speeches) as well as eventually even being able to change the weather with a snap of your fingers. Man, I have the urge to explore those Xendric (or however they are called) ruins again. I love how colourful and dangerous and unique the whole place was. Even the special items were nifty (Like the Dawn/Dusk blade or the hilarious Soul Tomato).
