Why are you apologizing? Even I've played that game. It's pretty good, though not my cup of tea. I prefer RPGs with more of a japanese flavor to them.

I only played Roller Coaster Tycoon games on the PC, so I would have to go with all 3 iterations of that (including all expansions)

Not a bad thread, to bump anyway. Also, my list above is still pretty much accurate as far as I can figure.

Ah I have too many...lately I've gotten into the whole free browser game thing. I'm a fan of cute browser games like Aquarama and Dino Storm, as well as flash games (anyone play Candy Crush?)

Not much of a PC gamer, but there are some gems that I love playing, especially the latter two I used to play when I was at school.

FarCry
Duke Nukem 3D
Dangerous Dave (DOS game)

Might consider getting into Fallout 1 and 2 some time.

This later turned into Commander Keen of course. That led to the explosion of popularity that made id Software (Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein) what it is now. Dave's an important piece of gaming history.
