Shadowfox's response to me in my failed attempts to annoy him
Allow me to apologise in advance, but when it comes to great gaming, albeit on a PS (i'll have to ignore that aspect of it) but someone has to make mention of Metal Gear Solid: 1998
Copies sold: six million copies
Average Rating: 94/100
"It is recognized by many critics as one of the best and most important games of all time" - Wikipedia
PS: I've read on Wikipedia that it was later ported to PC, so I guess it counts in this discussion.
It was, I have MGS1 and 2 on PC. Still hoping for an MGS3 and 4 port in the comming years.
MGS 2 took something like 2 or 3 years before it was released on PC, and done so very much under the radar, like MGS1
'97 I was already working my ass off.
Sadly didn't get a lot of gaming time and I was working and gathering every penny I could, but Curse of Monkey Island, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, MDK, Hexen II, Quake II and Wing Commander: The Prophecy would be my favorite picks.
What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.
