Of late, I have been playing a lot of Dwarf Fortress by Bay 12 Games;
I like it so well, I've even updated my signature to point to it (see below).
I'm wondering...
What is the most intriguing game YOU'VE ever played?

Oh i've got to say unreal world
it's a game by finnish publisher
http://www.jmp.fi/~smaarane/urw.html
and it's basically a turn based iron age freeroam game where you can either roam the land or settle down as a family-guy or a hunter! (ofc there's more in to it)

@HugoV
Looks pretty insane;
At the office now but will have to give this one a try!
[edit]
I just tried a few rounds;
Pretty intense!!!
Thanks for the recommendation.

Any other suggestions?
Most of my favorites are old school (REALLY old school);
Chromatron (2004-ish)
-- Pretty new, but the author recently made the 2nd, 3rd and 4th installments free for download
The Wizard's Castle (late 1970's - early 1980's)
-- Likely to forever be my all-time favorite
Zork I, II and III (1980-1982)
-- Way more hours of gameplay than you might expect
[edit] Links to these are upstairs.

Hey, off the wall but this seems like a great thread to ask this,
Does anyone know where I can find the flash or w/e version of that 'dark tower' board game from the 80's? I had it once and it vanished
Remember that? It had a rotating tower in the middle and was RPG style, like settlers or shogun...
 great thread <3 ZORK, muds forever
someone should rewrite DIKU in ahk |
