The first one I liked for its mysterious athmosphere. The later ones (not played most recent ones) had too many boring bloodspilling action and to high human populations in them IMO. It may also be that for the first one I had a mod that replaced the original music to HoMM2 and another good soundtrack which name I have forgotten.

I saw it at someones place back in 1996. I thought it was boring as hell back then and it's boring as hell now too....Never really played part two and above and I don't regret it one second. Besides, that year a whole bunch of good games got releases. I think MK II took up most of me and my friends time back then....then there was Duke 3D and Quake in school :-D
Almost forgot about C&C and Red Alert.

How would that even work?! Demos are a small part of, not a fake something.

No, sex always sold, and it was pretty inevitable.

Best way to respond to a joke: question it's logic. Watch as everyone forgets to laugh.... :devil:

And you're overestimating the time our race will exist. :devious:

I don't doubt that. Laura Craft, with big breasts...you're tellin me that isn't going to sell?

I personally hate the Tomb Raider franchise ever since I played the first one and realized how horrible the controls were.

Larry was kinda cheesy in a non-porn way. It was rather cartoonish though.
