Oh well....I knew I was wrong. As well as I knew there is always "SOMEONE"
who will just post some crap like you just did. Maybe if you would have
posted something constructive (like some games YOU think are best)...maybe
then this would be a post which is discussable. But then again...you might
just be one of these people tat know everything better...just cannot PROOF
it. Have a nice day...

You're quite welcome to agree with anyone you'd like but I don't think you
can say someone is wrong can you? After all we all have different taste in
games probably. For me it was Zork which was a simple text based RPG in an
age when graphics really weren't even considered really. Even if they were
considered they were generally 8 bit Atari-like games such as Oregon Trail,
a few Amiga games, Intelivision, etc. At that time there was no other RPGs
available and this game was pretty limited but, at that time, pretty
limitless all things considered. (It even had the ability to save the game
which was unlike most other games at that time and you could print out your
steps taken to reach the place you were at to make a map but on dot-matrix
printers that took forever and a day.) So, from my perspective, that was the
greatest game. For some people the greatest computer game might be an online
game of poker, chess, or checkers... It might be coding in VB .NET or C#. It
might be designing Lego® Robots. It might be any one of a number of games.
Each person is likely to have their own thoughts and there's no way that we
can say who is wrong and who is right. Who are we to judge another's
opinions?

Simply typing that you agree that the people who've responded were wrong and
not offering your opinions on the subject adds nothing to the conversation
and benefits nobody as near as I am able to tell. Instead, in my opinion, it
would be better if you told us what you felt was the best game and why you
felt it was the best. Then, for starters, we'd know where you were coming
from to draw your conclusion. We'd be able to see what you were thinking
about the game. We might be convinced to try the game. We might even then
agree with you. The point of a newsgroup is to share, grow, learn, and
teach. It's meant to exchange information (and opinions) but the opinions
should be backed up with reason. To simply cite that you're convinced that
everyone is wrong and you are right doesn't give us the opportunity to
understand why you feel the way that you do nor does it give you the chance
to show us what you know and we (or at least I) welcome anyone's opinions.

Yups, that's me with the essays. And now to make a short story long... It's
funny as way back in high school and then later in my first year of college
I only failed two courses. They were "keyboarding" (which was typing though
it was done on real typewriters then) and for the life of me I simply
couldn't type even if I looked at the keyboard. In the 15 years since I've
managed to get it to the point where Gabe's Typometer tells me I max out at
about 120 WPM and have a 97% accuracy rating. So, when I do type, I tend to
type everything I can think of as it only takes me a few moments to make a
post. I can see why someone might think that these are essays but, really,
they're pretty short compared to a number of the things I've sent. I make it
a point to say what I mean in a manner that hopefully doesn't lead to
confusion and is easy enough to understand. I don't think they quite qualify
for essay category but I'll take that as a compliment. I'd hate to think
that people needed to ask me another question when I could have included all
the pertinent information the first time and saved them time and effort of
having to make another post.

<g> I still think Zork was the greatest game ever. Followed by Fallout 2
which I think everyone should play assuming they're not bothered by vulgar
language and bloody scenes. It's an absolute riot to play.
