Got any game series that strikes a special chord with you?

Thief, TES, C&C, AoE, NFS...
That's about it (Allthough I'm sure I've forgotten something)
Some of these because of fond memories, some of these because they're really very good.

The Monkey Island games
Maniac Mansion 1 & 2
:ok:

a greatest game series list would never be complete without a mention of doom, not sure if 2 games really counts as a series but hey, they were both awesome!!!

J

Heroes of might and magic
Might and magic
Fallout
Baldur's gate
The elder scrolls (Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind)
Warlords
UFO

The first two Indiana Jones games. I try to pretend The Infernal Machine and The Emperor's Tomb never happened, though...

Metal gear solid series is by far my favorite. The story line sooooo owns

Final Fantasy..... :Brain:
Might and Magic
Civilization (even though it doesn't work on my comp now....)

dune
dune 2
dune 2000
emporer: battle for dune

nuff said.

Definatly Final Fantasy and Civilization

Did you know? In Final Fantasy 2/4 for SNES all moogles were brown and called beavers.

Indeed they were :D They first apeared in 3/6 where you could play as squads of them on one level, and then later on you got to play as Mog :D

they do, because there were actualy something like 6 of them (purely for monemaking purposes of course, since they only differed in levels)

Street Rods one and two.

I love pretending to be a car junkie :D

With a game, you don't really pretend. You perform it. Y'know, like a clown, jester, or a professional athelete. Same difference, right?

Quest for Glory, without a doubt. I love those games <sniff> <gets all teary> :tai:

Metroid
Zelda
Tales
Soul Blazer
FF
RE
Doom
Myst
Metal Gear/Solid

yeah those were all good games (although dune2000 was more like a windows remake of Dune2 instead of a new game)

and further (I also wonder if a series of 2 really count as a series, but what the heck)

- Tomb Raider!
- Commander keen series
- LBA 1 & 2
- Maniac Mansion 1&2
- The GTA series (haven't played San Andreas yet though)
- Most of the Need For Speed were good as well (well, at least the first 3)
- Monkey Island 1 & 2 ofcourse (after that it all went pretty much downhill)
- Simon the Sourceror (I'm one of those few people that actually likes Simon the Sourceror 3D)
- Prince of Persia (still have to play sands of time and that new one though, but they looked good)
- oh yeah, forgot to mention Discworld (all 3 of them are good, but this first is still the best though)

probably some more

definetly C&C..even tough i never played Generals (wich i quite do not want to play..not beeing made by WestwoodStudious...and NO RUSSIANS???)played the first C&C..Red alert and with it's addons(Aftemath,CovertOps..)Red Alert2..RA2 Yuri..only one thing..i never played RA2 DEEzire..it's a mod...But i played Tyberian sun,TibSun Firestorm,and of course Renegade... :kosta: :kosta: :kosta: :kosta: Bow to C&C :cheers: :ranting: but when EA took over Westwood... :wall: ...i got angry :pissed:

Empire Earth, Age of Empires, Theif, Total War, Total Annihilation...

Odd that it never did all too well, and a pity Renegade 2 got canceled.

Diablo series
Doom (all of them) :kosta:
Unreal (tournament and regular)
Quake
Simon the Sorcerer(haven't played 3 yet)
Discworld


That's about it I guess

Unreal Tournament. I never played the first Unreal but I want to.
GTA

And then all those old ones. Monkey Island, Police Quest, Quest for Glory, Space Quest and so on.

Commander keen! LOL

I forgot that one :w00t:
Seriously.

Grand Turismo
Resident Evil
Metal Gear (Solid)
Adventure Island
Tomb Raider
NFS
AOE
Fallout
AvP
...

fallout(but some sick bastard stolen my original cd of fallout 2 Grrr)
warcraft
commander keen
HoMaM
Descent
doom
prehistorik

Grand Theft Auto
Metal Gear Solid
Resident Evil
Silent Hill
Age of Empires

Civilizations and all the Quest series from Sierra

That is a capital crime. Find him. Isolate him. Terminate him. :sniper:

Unreal Tournament
Civilization
Ultima (at least 6,7,8,9,UW,UW2)
Need For Speed Underground

My favorites are:

• Gabriel Knight series
• Monkey Island series
• Myst series
• Fallout series
• Xwing series
• Wing Commander series

Of course there are other games that I rank just as good as the above mentioned, but they aren't part of any series.

I love every great series. Exspecially Quest for Glory series. Its cool to play the same hero in every adventure.(I just started to play it again...with a thief character).

Ditto.

Lovin the Books of Kyrandia series. New character in every game, but the world created is pure brilliance. :D

Quest For Glory, especially the EGA-version of nr. 1. Haven't seen any other series that's quite as cool.

Baldur´s Gate
Fallout
The ´Lancer´series (Starlancer and Freelancer)
If Renegade never happened then the C&C games.
X-COM... all of the other than the shooter one (Interceptor was an understated great).

I would say final fantasy, but I'm not sure if it's actually a series, since they've just released the first sequel and I think they're releasing a sequel to 7, aren't theY?

...

or, to clarify if you're confused, "dot dot dot". This indicates bewilderment or disbelief.

Or just an ellipsis.:)

Wait. I totally forgot Homeworld!

They're good also.

What about three question marks?

No, see, I'm not confused by the comment, just appalled.

I really like the Mortal Kombat games (although after they got to the 3D part - after the trilogy - it got worse).
Broken Sword - just got part 3 (couldn't play it yet)
Caesar - part one was a bit off, but it started it all
Civilization
Monkey Island - although the Escape (4) was... well...
Simon the Sorcerer - even part 3D was still fun, but that wasn't really Simon anymore
Mario Brothers - from the old one screen game in a factory to the latest platformer (it's fun)

The Super Mario series is the very definition of fun. ...I was playing Paper Mario 2, you gotta love how lightly they take themselves. The Bowser platform sequence was pure game humour gold.

Thief, Command and Conqueir, Warcraft, Silenthill

Warcraft
Diablo
Heretic
Doom
Half-Life
Halo
Monkey Island
Indiana Jones
Gabriel Knight
Elder Scrolls
Command & Conquer
Alien VS. Predator

The list goes on, but those are probably my faves.

I'm partial to the Ultima series, the Wing Commander series, the Civilization series (although that's more like several upgrades of the same game), and , of course, the Il-2 series.

Paper Mario 2 has got to be the best game ever made I think. I love that game and have beaten it, oh, about 12 times now. :P The last boss takes me forever. Another game I love is Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga. Can't wait for the sequel to come out this November. Another game series I like is the Secret of Mana series. Those r some good games. And last but not least, the Mega man series. I like them all from battle net work to the x series to legends they all rock!

They're making a sequel to M&LSS? And yea, Secret of Mana rocks, as does Illusion of Gaia.

Mega Man x series is best.

Yep, its coming out on the ds. Mario and Luigi are sent back in time and meet their sibling versions, aka baby mario and baby luigi who join them as party members and are playable by themselves. They are back in the mushroom kingdom during when peach was a baby, and they must fight a strange alien force. Yep, you heard, mario bros. back in time with their sibling versions fighting aliens. :P Aughta be pretty good. Bosses range from Kamek to alien spaceships to giant bosses that take up both ds screens. To check it out, go to gamespot, to the ds section and search for mario and luigi 2.

Magic Candle. Monkey Island. Baldur's Gate.

Civilization
Legend of Zelda
Age of Empires
Mega Man X
those are just a few

I was playing Farcry earlier today and it reminded me of Red Faction.

This was about Red Faction not Farcry.
