lol I have played Dota 2! Dota Allstars was never really my favorite AoS  (or moba as they call it nowadays) tho. I loved Age of Myths, EotA, and Advent of the Zenith though. And Dark Deeds was a lot of fun.

thank you

[1Joachim1]

for me, the recurring games or games i put a heck ton of hours were: Neverwinter Nights, Chrono Cross, half life 2 death match,  Minecraft (allways heavily modded), World of Warcraft, Tera Rising, Avalon Code and all the Monster Hunter games and castlevania (up to the lords of shadow ones, that i didn't like, sorry). also, honorable mentions were Empire Earth II and Team Fortress 2 thanks to my cousin, i used to go to his house to play them vs every friday for two years.


Also, one of the best  games i got to play (and i really love to play no matter how much times i've done the same) is Graveyard keeper, i just love his dark humor too much

on the other hand, i played all the classics (all marios, donkey kongs, tales of, the legend of zelda, (having a bit too much fun with ToTK right now) WARIO LAND, golden sun) and made sure to 100% them just for the pleasure to do so (i don't really like the achievement system, for me it hurts more than motivates)

how in hell i forgot about GK?

Albion (by blue byte) - the inofficial scifi Ambermoon "continuation".

or maybe

Vampire - The Masquerade Redemption (my mother laughed 'cause it's only in english language and there's no german version like in Bloodlines)


By "boardgames" it's also D&D4 or 5. Or the "german D&D" called Das schwarze Auge V4.1 (the dark eye)

Oof, I remember making my own shitty maps to play in single player, swapping models of weapons and characters (adding or deleting bones to fit the weapons) with special convertor tools and writing small editor codes. I remember having to conert one file to another extract something convert convert convert and then edir and do the whole process again backwards.

Had great fun.

Dungeons and Dragons was the one for me back in '79.

Hah! I did start with D&D that same year. It was fun. But the One Game that hooked me MERP. It was the realization that not every RPG had to be D&D/AD&D. Holy shit! An RPG with skills! Then I discovered RuneQuest (again, skills!). and the industry started exploding with great games. But someone everything thought the only game was D&D, just like they think the only beer is Bud/Coors. Uck. But the heyday of tabletop RPGs was the 90s. Nowadays everyone is back to thinking D&D is the legal and official definition of Roleplaying. Ugh.

Daggerfall.

Played it in a dark room with a candle. Instead of studying.

A few years back I used to be a huge fan of Starbound, though I always played it with a million mods on.
About a year ago I learned that the devs were kinda scummy, though by then I had already mostly stopped playing it already.
I had played it since it's alpha, but by now it's basically dead for all purposes, as it's last and likely final update was many years ago.
Still, that game made me get into sprite art, which is something I really enjoy doing.

To be honest I think that Vintage Story is my latest addition to the list of favourite games of all time!
I really love this game, and have been obsessing over designing my little town and my character's lore and backstory lately.

Other favourite games of mine are Terraria, Rain World, Morrowind, all of the Souls games, Deltarune, the Mother series, Hylics, and many more.
(Can you tell I mostly like RPGs and sandbox games?)
I was also a huge Minecraft fan, though I think this game by far takes the cake as my favourite blocky sandbox game!

D&D, must have been '77, because what drew me in was the art on the cover of the just released Monster Manual. There were a few people who ran Basic so that got me started, and as the DMG and PH got released, got absolutely hooked. Enough that I coded a dungeon master assistant (Appendix A, C, J maybe) complete with all the attack rolls (including pummeling and overbearing) and psionics in character graphics so it was easier to run if there were only 3 or 4 of us. On a state-of-the-art Commodore Superpet with 32k, so involved lots of page swapping.

Later, Bard's Tale (C-64), Commander Keen (PC), Might and Magic(PC), and then Wolfenstein, Doom, Warcraft II, Heretic, AoE and similar ended any pretense of a real life.

AoE

Age of Empires was definitely the first game that really captured my attention like the thread suggests, though for me II and III were my jam rather than the original due to the setting and QoL features. They also helped me develop my art skills as I would spend a lot of time doodling various units from the games. I think I even have  some of my old strategies written done somewhere. For the Playstation though it was Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. I also ended up playing a lot of Gallop Racer(a Japanese horse racing game, for those who don't know) and Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future. The setting of Ecco reminds me somewhat of Vintage Story, actually, and I wonder if the devs took any inspiration from those titles.

When I went off to college I picked up Skyrim for the first time on a whim. I didn't know what an RPG was, so the fact that I actually got to make my own character and then choose how to play them boggled my mind! I think I must've spent a couple of hours at least just creating my first character--a calico Khajiit.

I also ended up getting into Minecraft around the same time; I think I jumped in shortly after the Adventure Update launched and have played ever since(although I don't play it nearly as often as I used to). I wouldn't say that Vintage Story has quite replaced it, as the two have different things to offer, but Vintage Story tends to win more than Minecraft these days when I'm deciding which I want to play.

To a lesser extent, I've racked up quite a bit of time in Planet Zoo as well. It took everything that was great about Zoo Tycoon and bumped it up to the next level, although it can get a little irritating when dealing with the protestors. They tend to show up because guests stressed an animal, and then stand next to said animal and scream, which only makes the problem worse. It's not so bad in franchise mode, where I have everything unlocked, but in challenge mode or scenarios it can make things more difficult.

Cool. I won the draw to be one of the community beta testers for Age of Kings. Still have the Beta CD around somewhere. Stumbled across the release CDs we bought the other day, and might have talked the wife into giving it another go. Fun times.
