  • seanthebond, on 04/06/2008, -0/+9Err, why is there a screenshot of the SNES box of SimCity and of Warcraft III for the original 'Warcraft'? Was Google not working well for the author that day?
  • obliviousfool, on 04/06/2008, -1/+8Tetris isn't really a PC game.
  • superfuxxorr, on 04/06/2008, -2/+9That was either written by a girl or by someone who has never played pc games before. Probably both.
  • inactive, on 04/06/2008, -0/+5illogical fanboy
  • doshindude, on 04/06/2008, -1/+6SimCity box shot is the SNES version.
    Fail.
    And why isn't Counter Strike 1.x on there? It's only the most played online PC FPS of all time....
  • domdunc, on 04/06/2008, -0/+4philistine
  • estvir, on 04/06/2008, -0/+4I wouldn't class CS a 'classic' by any means, or at least not comparable to the likes of games like Dune II..
  • Ajajadude, on 04/06/2008, -0/+3How old are you?
  • ajpalma, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2dugg for Dune 2, unappreciated game that led the way
  • opnickc, on 04/06/2008, -1/+3Perhaps not classic, but important nontheless. It proved the value of modmaking, community content, and internet distribution (since it was originally just a download for half life) in one fell swoop.
  • Isfacat, on 04/06/2008, -1/+2Myst. Yes.

    But the article is wrong. They forgot Myst V: End of Ages.
  • Zihuatanejo, on 04/06/2008, -0/+1I was in total agreement until Solitaire. See Maddox http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=so ...
  • Ajajadude, on 04/06/2008, -0/+1What about "classic" don't you understand?
  • boombye, on 04/06/2008, -0/+1Are you like 12 or something? These games are classics. I own all 3 Halo games, and even have the Legendary edition for the last one that came out, but those games can't compare to these greats. Castle Wolfenstein and Doom are the reasons games like Halo even exist.
  • Pryze, on 04/07/2008, -0/+1Idiot.
  • inactive, on 06/19/2008, -0/+0Aoki is definitely right. Everything today is better than it used to be. Thats the rule. Cars today are better than the ones made 10 years ago. Computers as well, same thing applies for Video games.
  • estvir, on 04/07/2008, -1/+1But this is about 8 classic PC games, not a game that proved the value of modmaking, community content, and internet distribution (since it was originally just a download for half life) in one fell swoop. :o
  • lukatoll, on 04/06/2008, -3/+1Dugg
  • inactive, on 04/06/2008, -8/+0those games are all terrible not even 3d get real games liek halo and gta
