12 games, where do I start?
Author
I recently picked PC Gamer, and inside was 12 classic games for the PC. Which one should I play first? Which ones are good?
Need for Speed
Ultima Underworld: The Stygain Abyss
Ultima 1: The First Age of Darkness
The Secret of Monkey Island
Links: The Challenge of Golf
X-COM: UFO Defense
Wing Commander
Alone in the Dark
Terminal Velocity
Duke Nukem 2
King''s Quest 1
Descent
Choose one, or choose 3, I don''t care. Which ones are good?

X-COM is, in my book, one of the best games of all time. It does not realy fit well into any of the well establishd genres of today (some RTS, some tactical, some turn-based strategy), which may be why it is such a good game.
IMHO The Secret of Monkey island is probably the second best game there after X-COM.

i''d say descent, duke, king''s quest, terminal velocity, or need for speed would be good.
all of them are cheap as hell now, so why not buy them all! you may not be able to find some of them, probably can''t even download them as warez. it''s been a long time since i''ve seen old Sierra games (LSL, KQ, SQ) in stores or on the net, so Kings Quest might be hard to find. They had a big pack a while back that had the King''s Quest games, 1-5. That was a damn good pack
...
just my opinion...

Neonstar, all the games he listed are available on the latest PC Gamer CD (June Issue, I believe). We''re talking the full versions of those games, not demos.
This is my order of preference for those games...
X-com, by far the best of the lot
Ultima Underworld, definitely the second best
Alone in the dark and Descent, can''t pick a favorite between these two. Both offer up a rather unique experience.
None of the rest really ever appealed to my gaming intests for one reason or another. In particular, the following, while great games of their time, don''t offer up anything some newer games would give you even more of...
Need for Speed
Ultima 1

Terminal Velocity
Duke Nukem 2
