This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What computer games were you playing 10 years ago?

Zangband - roguelikes mixed with Zelazny? Still my favourite ever game in its older iterations.
Jagged Alliance 2 - I'm actually playing this again now.
Read my blog, Monsters and Manuals, for campaign ideas, opinionated ranting, and collected game-related miscellania.

Probably Diablo II and Starcraft, I suppose. I'm not really a gamer.

Master of Magic, Dungeon Keeper 2, Jagged Alliance 2 and Heroes of Might and Magic (can't remember which version though).

Edit : How could I forget Panzer General !

You weren't playing Civ3. It came out in 2001.

I was playing Pharaoh, Civ2, Call to Power, and Creatures 3

Civilisation 2 -- I'd begun to explore scenarios downloaded from the web by '98.  I still play it on occasion to this day.
Creatures
Tomb Raider in one of its many iterations.
Mech Warrior 2: Ghost Bear's Legacy -- another fine game that my son and his friends were recently playing.

Other than that...not much.  I've never been a voracious computer-gamer (though I've been enjoying the ever-loving crap out of Lego Star Wars recently).

I also say Civilization 2.  Still the greatest game of all time.  This was the game that got me into PC gaming back in '95 (well, Ultima V years earlier was my first, but I hadn't really played much of anything since that), and still my favorite.

Also, I would have been playing Daggerfall and Might & Magic VII about that time.

I thought it was fascinating (though hardly a "game" as such).  My wife hated the little things with a passion.

That's funny. A couple years ago I started it up just for kicks and found that my girlfriend was of the same opinion.

Ho, that's right...though I think I didn't get my copy until it had been out for a while.  Maybe as late as 1999.*  It didn't replace Civ II for me, since it played on a very different scale, but, man sakes alive, it was supercool game.  Another one I'll still play to this day (along with a number of its more contemporary knock-offs).

Unreal, Unreal Tournament (which still resides on me hard drive, btw), Age of Rifles, and any of the available X-Wing franchise games at that time.

All else just passed into and out of my computer like so much poo.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

JA2 is THE SHIT.

For those who don't know it: Play it now. Third-person like Fallout (by some of the same designers IIRC), except that

a) it gets rid of distracting stuff (e.g., plot);

b) 10 times as many guns, and man, do their stats matter;

c) there are some real characters among the mercs (I believe one can get the lesbians to marry);

d) chargen OMG OMG
