 What is the best classic PC Game(s)?
Yes, yes, I all know about DOOM, Quake, etc.
But I want to know the consensus on games prior to these. You know, games like Crystal Caves, Pipe Dream, Wolfenstein 3D(predecessor of DOOM), etc.
If life is a mystery, then why all the tragedy???

Before there were first person shooters, I played mostly Sierra point and click adventures. King's Quest 1-6, Space Quest 1-4 (5 sucked, and 6 is more "modern). Hell, I bought a friggin' CD-ROM drive just so I could hear Gary Owens narrate Space Quest 4, which I kinda regretted after about 2 minutes of that stupid *** owl in King's Quest 5.
Then there was also Leisure Suit Larry 1-6. Those games are great, I learned a lot more about women and how to get laid than I ever did from my my dad. Al Lowe is a genius. Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist was also cool.

Scorched Earth.. I played that for at least 10 hours a week. It was great.

Civilization was my game of choice...
Along with ANYTHING from the Bitmap Brothers (Amiga)...

SimCity, Test Drive (the original one, before Accolade tried to resurrect it and totally screwed it up!)

Air Warrior II
It had a massive multiplayer environment.
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. Well, the WINDrivers forum anyway.

I would have to say between Duke Nukem 3d and Civilization.
BUT.... if I had to go back and say video game (regardless of format...) I think River Raid for the Atari 2600 was da stuff!
If it aint broke, TWEAK it!
When in doubt, throw it out!!

WingCommander, the original . . . with the optional full speech pack. You couldn't beat that for true classic. Then you have Karateka and Choplifter, I loved those two games.

You all forget X-Wing and Tie Fighter.
