    What games have you played that you think nobody else has played?

    Here's one from me: Shadowcaster.
    (If you've played it, make sure you let me know. I'll be quite surprised.)

    Played it. Still have the *original* cd. On a spindle, somewhere. Although, I didn't play it all the way through. The cheats didn't work, or at least, they didn't work well so I never got into the game much. It looked like it was fairly intense.

    I have a couple. Keef the Thief is one. Conan: Halls of Volta is another.

    Egoboo. It´s a 3D open-source game a lâ Nethack. Didn´t like: (1) childish characters, and (2)it´s simpler than Nethack. A lot simpler.

    Shadowcaster is a great game. I have it, and beat it too.

    Dang, was wrong. But good to know some others played it. Loved the dragon morph. :)

    Conan:Halls of Volta - i've played two Conan games before, but can't remember if either was called this. One was on my Apple ][, so I really doubt its that one you're referring to... for the other, you start the game just looting the town to get money to train? If neither, then no, I haven't played it.

    Has anyone played Spellcraft: Aspects of Valor?

    The only one I doubt anyone else here has played is one a friend of mine is making himself, using some RPG maker program. It looks like an early Final Fantasy game, currently known only as 'The Awesome.'

    He's making a lot of our frat into characters. I am currently the villain. :evil:

    I haven't met many others who play Seven Kingdoms 1 and 2 or Colonization.

    I got Seven Kingdoms II, haven't played it in a long time.

    Here's 2 I doubt anybody else has played:

    Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharamacist, the only reason I got it was that it was written by Al Lowe,not a bad game but you do have to do some lateral thinking.

    Escape from Hell, never finshed it, got stuck on the 3rd level trying to free Teddy Kennedy.

    I've played Colonization! It's great! The only thing I didn't master in that game is HOW to keep prices from going down too much. (Silver dropping down to 100 gold/ton - so frustrating; it takes so many turns just to mine it and it sells for next-to-nothing)

    Played Dungeon Keeper and the sequel. Pretty fun specially when you take control of one of your minions; and the imps are sooooooooo coooooool!

    Hmmm a game people might not have played, Feeble Files?

    It was fun for a bit (it's a point n click btw) but i got bored of it quick. Nice idea but poorly executed.

    Oh and 2 others Oni (great game!!) and Startopia (another great game!).

    Dungeon keeper is the game i've played the most, out of all my games.
    I got Deeper Dungeons as well. Some of the deeper dungeons are really hard.
    DK2 was also amazing.
    Wierd thing: On my old pc, Dungeon Keeper 2 ran a lot better/smoother than Dungeon Keeper 1.

    Anyone else played Interstate '76 (or Interstate '82) I loved I'76. But never knew anyone else who had even heard of it.

    Soulbringer (Infogrames). The only other person I know who would even think of playing such an annoying game as Soulbringer is my brother.

    I love this simulation along with all the simulations of Jane's Combat Simulations. I also played a lot F-15 and F/A-18.
    My friends hated those games.Ahhh nostalgia
