Crash Bandicoot

Nope not interested in another platforming jumping around collect things
game.



Command & Conquer

Somehow I never got round to playing any othe the C&C games, At the time JAP
RPG's were my interest & even though I enjoyed turn based JAP RPG's I could
not get interested in any of the western strategy games of the time until
Mech Commander 2



Chuck Rock

Another Platformer title that I remember getting the pull out poster with an
issue of ST Gamer



Crysis

By this time I had left PC gaming & had returned to console gaming, I may
pick up the sequel but does the story continue from the first?



Carmageddon

Drive cars & kill people for points was that it?

Carrier (DC) - One of those early survival horror games, basically
Resident Evil but on a boat. I never played past the first few minutes, as
I recall that my copy was one of the defective first-pressings that
wouldn't work on every GD-ROM drive. I'm suddenly gripped with paranoia
that I've told this story already in some other thread.

Cadash (MD) - It's on multiple platforms, but I have the Megadrive/Genesis
cart prominently displayed for the nice art. I've never actually played
it, but I understand it to be some sort of jumpy/whippy scrolling game not
unlike Castlevania.

Castlevania (NES) - The first game in the series never did click with me,
as I expected it to be an RPG hybrid the way Simon's Quest was. I'm
grateful that most of the later entries in the series ended up more like
the latter than the former.

Criticom (SAT) - Some sort of high-level RTS, wasn't it? A strategy game
of some variety anyway, with Vic Tokai's name attached to it. Or it might
have been an FPS, I really don't know. I need to take an afternoon and
hunt through the Saturn library just to see if I've missed out on any
particular gems.

Cosmic Fantasy 2 (TGCD) - One of those early Working Designs JRPGs that
seemed more special at the time than it actually was. I seem to recall
that it was possible to die in the very first battle, which would account
for why I never put any time into it.

Quiet week thus week.

Carrier Command (ST) An early FPRTS which saw you piloting planes and boats
as well as the lumbering carrier in your quest to take over an archipelago
before your evil twin.

My games would always start well with an amphibious attack following a
devastating jet attack on the first island's defences.

Then I'd get bored at the time it took to travel to the next battle and
turn off. I don't think I ever saw the next island ever.

You're missing some really good games there. Your espousing of PC
gaming needn't close the door because RA3 is available on 360,
although I imagine it's not the ideal platform to play the game on.

I played the demo on my ST Format coverdisk a hundred times!

I've not played the sequel but I hear it's a shadow of the first game,
which I loved.

Don't forget the crazy multiplayer! We used to fire up Carma II at LAN
parties and it was carnage.

Cadaver
Played the demo level that was on my coverdisk over and over but never
tried the full game.

Cave story
Only played the first 30 seconds. Looks good, would like to get back
to it some time, but video footage of later levels look pretty
difficult!

Cabal
Not even sure what it is. Vertical scrolling soldier game?

Ceefax
I never had a TV that supported it so never played Bamboozle.

Civilization II
Many say it's the best version. I skipped from 1 to 3.

Call of Duty MWIII
It'll be a while before I play this. I quite like the mindless
shooting and pretty graphics, but they're so linear that I'm not
willing to play the MW games until the price has come *way* down.
Don't feel like I'm missing much by waiting, either.

Contra
Not even sure what it is. Something like Space Harrier?

Custer's Revenge
Never played it but I've seen plenty of screenshots!

It's actually a third-person shooter with a static screen. What made the
arcade game special was the use of a track ball to move a crosshairs
around on the screen, for pinpoint shooting accuracy. The trick was that
the same device was used to move your little gunman around, which meant
that you had to use big arch movements to keep from getting gunned down
yourself. The NES game is a reasonably playable facsimile, even without
the track ball.

Operation Wolf with an on-screen soldier, pretty much.

My computer runs at 3.5MHz and I'm proud of that

I am going to reveal some shocking truths.

Cosmic Smash
OK, rare Japanese Dreamcast game, but that didn't stop me on quite a few
other releases. Really wanted this. Never bought it.

Civilisation
I've played Civ Revolution on the DS and on the iPhone. I've bought Civ V
on the Mac. Never loaded it though.

Crash Team Racing
Better than Mario Kart? I couldn't tell you.

Canabalt
I've played Mirror's Edge. Does that count?

The Conduit
I won this from Sega on Twitter. The special edition and everything. It
remains sealed.

Crysis
My computer would never have run it for a start.

Colin McRae's Rally games
I loved Sega Rally. I loved the rally stages in Gran Turismo 2. I loved
V-Rally. But a rally game more accomplished than all those put together
remains unplayed.

I think Mech Commander 2 was for me the pinnacle of PC strategy gaming. I'm
done with that genre for a while although I am tempted to play Halo Wars or
Supreme Commander at some time.

Is the first game out on the 360?
