  1. Quake
  2. Thief
  3. Metal Gear Solid
  4. Half Life
  5. System Shock 2

Honourable mention to Final Fantasy 7, and Zelda Ocarina of Time. They might have been great when released, but I don’t think they’ve aged well.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Those are some excellent choices. I'd pick quake for multiplayer - and SS2 for single. Honorable mention to Dune 2.

The original System Shock is definitely one of my all time favorites too. An absolute game changer playing that late night with headphones on.

Yeah, super nice choices!

With exception of MGS, I still play all of those (Quake and Thief series) every few years.
