Saying Space Quest without King's Quest is pure heresy - No Space Quest without KQ, and both were phenomenal series. Until Mask of Eternity, which I never played, but I understand did not make a good change in direction <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Blake Stone, was originally meant to have elements that strategy games had (like moving bodies), but they decided to remove it before shipping cause they thought some gamers wouldnt like it.
I notice that Maniac Mansion was conspicously gone. Even though I've only really played Day of the Tentacle (the sequel), I understand the idea behind MM.
And before you all shout at me, I already know you can play Maniac Mansion in DotT by using Ed's computer.
Tie Fighter, Mechwarrior 2, Fallout Series, Monkey Island Series, Original Command and Conquer, Zork (you have been eaten by a grue), Oregan Trail
Speaking of Oregan Trail, I just tried playing it, and here is what happened...
10 miles into journey, theif comes in the night and steals ALL my oxen, can't go on Wait two days, trade 3 sets of clothing for 1 ox, continue on trail, very slowly Ford the first River, successful Jill gets Cholera Attempt to ford the second river, failed. Max has drowned, lost food and ammuntion
first game that got me gaming was zak back on the C64 i just luv the alien mindbenders

Think about that next time you think FF's are that significant.
