good games, good ips, wont buy any of them, if i need them i will torrent them to death, tho i have some of them on original old skool cds.
FUCK U EA!
I "love" when Gog.com which was an interesting old school steam at first, due to greed turn into shit so fast... Still, the only good thing about them still remains: NO DRM. When they will add DRM, they can close doors and whore themselves for EA or or other corps.
FUCK U CD PROJECT!
Well that's betters, whats next?

Yeah, fight for freedom. Feel the thrill of being an outlaw through your computer fighting for the greater good. That'll show the world how badass you are and that you are ready to do all it takes for your fellow man.
DK1 is better than DK2 for various reasons, but DK2 is still very good and has some nice improvements here and there. I'd say play them both in order.

Well Lands of Lore is MCA's favorite cRPG (well he stated so, while drunk). It seems to be basically popamole EotB engine in a new setting. It is interesting so far (Lands of Lore 1). The Music so far is good.
All of the above. Seriously.

Lands of Lore 1 excels in the visuals and sound design (like many of Westwood's games), but compared to other mid-90's RPGs it is quite simplistic. That doesn't mean it's easy though (the Larkhon and the White Tower come to mind), and it's interesting because it's an original setting.
It's really a shame Westwood is mostly remembered for their Command and Conquer games, which were also great, but rarely does anyone remember Lands of Lore, Nox or Legend of Kyrandia.

Whatever you do just get SMAC. Easily the best 4X game ever.
Wing Commander 3 + 4 are excellent games, but the engine is very different than WC 1 + 2, so be prepared. You might also need a joystick to play, because the keyboard inputs are not as responsive as they were in WC 1 + 2. I found the games to be faster paced and often cursed my poor mouse. When my roommate purchased a joystick for the games it made a big difference.
The stories are also pretty good and the acting and camera work on par with anything you would see in a made for TV science fiction series, with Wing Commander 4 leaping ahead in terms of quality. All in all, WC 3 and and WC 4 do a great job closing out the series. Once you are done, move on to the free and downloadable Wing Commander Saga made with the Freespace engine. Avoid Wing Commander Prophecy.

WC4 > WC3 > Prophecy
WC3 felt really dumbed down after WC1 and WC2. WC4 added more depth to the setting, with its political intrigue, although it would never be quite the same as WC1+2.
Re: Prophecy, pretty banal game but I've always thought the engine was quite decent.

True, and the political intrigue had a satisfying conclusion that stayed with me. To add to that, character deaths in WC 3 and 4 didn't really effect me as I felt I was participating in a movie; a feeling of being outside looking in. On the other hand, the I felt horrible over the deaths of Bossman and Spirit.
Some comments here were mixed in regards to Lands of Lore, and Nox had mediocre support, but everyone seems to like SMAC. I decided to not buy an RPG this go around, and went with Alpha Centauri. The last Civ type of game I played was Master of Magic a few months back, so I expect to get my butt kicked as I relearn how to play this type of game.

I wouldn't say the combat is awful in any Wing Commander game. Give them a try.
