What game made you dream of the stars?

What game made you feel like a hero?
What game made monsters afraid of you?
What game made you afraid of dark?

gog.com apparently have some extra special games coming out shortly. First one is "Alone in the Dark" but I don't think it's the same as the one that was released a couple of years ago (certainly that wouldn't count as good or old).
 
I quite fancy playing the likes of Little Big Adventure 2 again, will check to see if stuff like that's on there later! :p
 
First, there was Star Control, a turn-based strategy game with an addictive real-time arcade combat mode called Mêlée. This was essentially a relatively close-quarters duel between two spaceships. The most impressive thing about this mode, and the game in general, was that, somehow, the game's creators managed to make the dozen or so race-specific ship types completely different from each other, yet at the same time balanced.

Star Control 2 added even more races and ships to the fray, while retaining balance in the Mêlée mode, but changed the underlying gameplay considerably. The sequel was turned into more of a space-faring adventure game, with quests, diplomacy and character progression in the form of ship upgrades. The gameplay is as addictive as ever and the storyline is both good and believable, with tons of memorable characters, races and humor that will make you go back to this game again and again.

Not as good as the PC version. :p The second edition only lacked more video, but understandable they couldn't map all the terrain in such a vast area. Not that a 1996 PC would have handled it.
 
Battle Isle Platinum covers a huge chunk of the acclaimed turn-based strategy/tactics series and consists of:
- Battle Isle 1 including Data Disk 1 & Battle Isle ‘93 & Historyline: 1914-1918,
- Battle Isle 2 including Scenery CD “Titan’s Legacy”,
- Battle Isle 3 along with extensive video sequences,
- Incubation and the wilderness missions.

This pack is worth $10 of anyone's money. Awesome, awesome games. BI2 & 3 are without doubt my most replayed games. You might want to skip #1 tho (aka BI '93).
