Don't forget Wizards & Warriors. Just like Wizardry 8, except with a
publisher!

have to update it to be something like "Morrowind after patch 1.07".

I thought The Longest Journey was already out. They've been talking
about it for some time over in c.s.i.p.g.adventure. I was thinking about
getting it, since people seem to think it's a very good adventure.

Not in the US, it ain't. It can be imported, but I'd rather wait for a
proper release.

You can find it in some stores in California. If you are in Bay
Area, CDAccess (in Santa Clara, I think) carries it. So does
InteractCD (Pasadena) in LA area.
Here's my top ten;
Crimson Skies
Marrowind
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Pool of Radiance 2
Fallout : Tactics
Escape from Monkey Island
American McGee's Alice
Anachronox
Simon the Sorceror 3D
Loose Cannon

Oddjob
Eidos' Republic

That's only four but they're three definite buys.

In no particular order.
1. Wizardry 8
2. Morrowind (although I won't buy it on release since I don't expect to
have the system for it until much later. Probably the same with wiz 8.
3. Divinity The swords of lies
4. Arcanum
5. Baldur's Gate 2
6. Wizards & Warrior
7. Age of Kings: The Conquerers. (If expansions are allowed)
8. Pool of Radiance 2 (demands 12 MB 3D card, only have a Riva 128)
9 Grand Prix 3 (yes it's out but I don't have it yet).
10. Neverwinter Nights.

I actually believe that they will release it in a playable form this
time around. They can't afford to spend ages
patching it afterwards.

A few games I forgot
Seadogs. And don't worry Bethesda is only the publisher.
Fallout: Tactics.
And the expansion to JA2 if they ever find a publisher.
Kevin Grey
have a publisher and it doesn't look like they'll get one anytime soon. Its
a great game and I would highly recommend getting it. In fact, if you order
it from a US online company like compuexpert or cdaccess its almost like
getting a us release. Plus, I doubt the US version will be any different
from the UK version. It isn't like the game isn't already in english and it
supports the latest graphic cards.

They aim for having zero bugs. Not likely but they may get it more
stable than most games nowadays.

But seriously this is the first time (in many years)
that I have noticed, it's not Marrowind. Thanks for

Well, considering the years of usenet arguments we've had,
I'm just tired of being critical of you ALL the time :) There
are always times for smiley faces!
BTW, You will probably like Sea Dogs. It looks very much
like a Redguard sequel with Pirates! thrown in. And I

Yes, I am looking forward to it but it has very
little in common with Redguard.
I hope they release its demo so I can see
whether the ship to ship combat is not unwieldy.
I am not sure how well it'd work in first
person perspective.
Anyway, an updated Pirates Gold game is always welcome.

It's made by the same team that made Redguard, from what I
gathered. I might be wrong though.

by a Russian Developer, Akella. Check out the preview movie at our web-site.
The ship combat is really great. I was just playing it today. I sunk a few
pesky frenchies and then ran into some of my English pals who were busy
battling the French themselves (you start the game on the English side). I
saw them sink a small French ship and then I swooped in to nab the goods
left floating around from the wreckage. I haven't had a chance to play it
too much, but it's very cool. I'm not sure if there will be a demo soon or
not.
Okay so my top 10:
10. Dreamland Chronicles
9. Return to Wolfenstein (killing Nazis gets you in the top 10 by default)
8. Thief 3
7. Creative Assembly's next game (they did Shogun)
6. Neverwinter Nights
5. Arcanum
4. Escape from Monkey Island
3. Team Fortess 2
2. Star Wars Online
1. Morrowind (what did you expect?)

Daggerfraud was the only game using the X-engine that has the "Void"
problem. Terminator Future Shock ran flawlessly on my machine, so did
X-Car (but the game is a complete piece of shit).

No it was not. Terminator Future Shock came out before Daggerfraud
(not surprisingly though, it also features an automap that is
completely useless). It didn't have nearly as many bugs as
Daggerfraud.

Just a hypothetical question Marcus, what will you do if Morrowind turns
out to be bug-free? Will you find some other game to latch on to? Don't
get me wrong, you're still a hideous troll, but you're an _amusing_
hideous troll. I'd hate to think you'll fade away for lack of a suitable
target.

from fewer bugs than Daggerfall. That's kind of like saying that Monica
Lewinski has had fewer dress stains than Linda Lovelace. As I recall, Future
Shock had lots of void problems too. In fact, I remember all the various
places I was able to specifically walk into the void and look around, was a
pretty interesting place. Also, we had hella problems staying connected in
that game's multiplayer mode. I have very little faith in Bethesda being
able to successfully write the first half of a "Hello World" program.
Let's hope Morrowind is different.

I honestly do think that Morrowind could be a great game, as well as a
solid engine. Often times when an engine is buggy, you can pick out
little problems with screenshots. Overlapping polygons, texture
cracks, floating objects, etc...this held true for Daggerfall,
Redguard, Terminator: Future Shock, etc.. but the screenshots for
Morrowind I've seen so far look quite good, with none of the obvious
problems that the previous X-ngine games had. I'm not saying the games
were bad, just that they had problems like 'the void,' being attacked
through walls, etc..

Good point, the screenshots do look pretty solid so far and we have that
firsthand account explaining some of the problems that the earlier games had
due to office politics. Well, I'm psyched and ready for a solid release.
I'll give it a try and hope for the best.

I've got a GeForce II now so I'm ready, bring on the software!
The FAQ had some interesting questions and one caught my attention regarding
the extreme customizability of the keys. It always annoyed me that you
couldn't play Arena or Daggerfall keyboard only. You could navigate around
with the keys but when you got to a door you could only mouseclick on it,
there was no key to simulate a mouseclick or activate a door. So I'd always
have to take my hand off the keyboard and hit the mouse, then go back to the
keyboard. Annoying as hell and I sent numerous requests to the team for this
simple addition. No response and they never added it. Sigh.
I suppose with the new engine they'll support mouselook and I'll probably
adopt an entirely different style of play. If they don't, they damned well
better add a mousehit key! ;->

SNERK!!!
X-ngine has been retired once and for all. Morrowind is using
a state of the art engine that Bethsoft is being very tight lipped
about. HOwever, you are looking at DX 8, and all the nice goodies that
it supports (hardware T&L, f'r instance) Go to www.elderscrolls.com
and take a look at the screenshots they have released to date.
Nuff said.
