Was thinking it was a shame Revision isn't completed yet when I posted. Was another mod I had in mind similar to biomod but a little truer to the original but can't remember the name off the top of my head.
Which games do you wish you played?

I loved Outcast when it was released - there is an updated version on Steam now if you still wanted to give it a play. Not sure how well it will stand up to today's games but the reviews are good: http://store.steampowered.com/app/336610/
Neocron was awesome - as you say, very buggy, but the community was great, even the "griefers" were decent and were just playing the role of griefers*
Everyone knew/or at least had heard of almost everyone else on the same server.
The benefits of it being such a small community (I think the peak total number of players was less than 10k?).
Unfortunately IMO that small community was also it's downfall - their advertising was poor (to the point of being non-existent, I only found out about it through a friend of a friend who was one of the GMs!) and it never really took off - small playerbase obviously means less income = no money for development
As you say though, it was unique, and the best implementation of an FPS/RPG hybrid gameplay style I've ever seen (and still hasn't been matched IMO).
It's F2P now if anyone's interested in giving it a go, but the community isn't really there any more, peak players are about 3-400 on a server
*obviously there were a few... "unpleasant" people, but the majority were a good laugh

Although I did play WoW when it was relased, it was the end of BC that I really got involved. I wish I had really got into it when it was first released.
I also wish I could have played Civ4 when it was first released, or at least when its popularity was at its prime. I am far too involved with how Civ5 works now to be able to really get into Civ4.

Played WoW since closed beta, and I would definitely say that vanilla was the best era, and to a lesser extent BC - IMO it went downhill after WotLK and I pretty much lost interest - although that may have been simply due to me getting a bit jaded with it (amongst other reasons)...
No online game has equaled the sense of achievement the first time your 40 man raid takes down Ragnaros in Molten Core! It was my first and last MMO as nothing managed to interest me half as much as WoW. It was also more about the community as we had a guild formed from a lot of PC Gamer forum peeps, good ol' Shadow Hunters of Shadowsong 
Fallout 1/2
Half-Life
Counterstrike
Those ones stand out for me. I played Half-Life last year, but it doesn't really stand up without the nostalgia factor IMO. It was an OK game, but I know had I picked it up when it came out it would have been astounding.
I tried to play Fallout 1 last year as well, but just found it impenetrable.

Never played any of the Fallout games as multiplayer games took over.
Looking forward to Fallout 4

Take a look further back in this thread for some tips on modding. The second game is well worth playing.
Shenmue
FFVII
System Shock 2
Dues Ex
Vampire: The Masquerade
TES: Morrowind / Oblivion
I've tried them all (except shenmue) and either can't stand the graphics or their limited/enclosed zones. I could probably play Oblivion, but meh.
Neocron was a big big love of mine. Wasn't my first mmo but my first proper adventure with friends. The first time you exit the city into the outlands, taking down a warbot, crafting something awesome.
I also used to enjoy standing in the middle of the city poking people. God I made so much money from that and farming rocket launchers only to have it all taken off me in a massive money wipe.

Question, apart from MMOs, why wouldn't you just play them now?
People listed SS2, Deus Ex, etc... those are still playable and still good to play, even today.
There is no reason not to go back occasionally and play something older. The only reason is yourself not wanting to.
