I discovered it in maybe 96 or 97, high school friend of mine put me onto it. But I never got good at it then or now - I actually kinda suck at games.

Some of my fav gaming memories of 93 involve playing ultima 7 pts 1 and 2 when I got home from school..

I stand by my #1 vote for Ultima 7 in the ILX games poll. Fucking amazing mega-game even with shite combat and some severe bugs lurking around the edges. Just the HUGENESS of it, and the general look and feel was perfect. And and! TURN OF THE 90S DIGITIZED SPEECH. Possibly the best single feature any game can possess.

AVATAR!

wd've voted cannon fodder (jools & jops RIP) but happy to vote champ man; the amount of hours I sunk into that game is unholy and only rivalled by champ man 96/97

I wonder if I can get CM2 running on my mac

2-3-5, Chris Bart-Williams in the middle. And you still couldn't win in Europe!

What is Championship Manager 93? There's barely even a GameFAQs page for it.

you gotta be kidding

See for yourself: No FAQs, no reviews, and the message board doesn't have a single post on it.

And the GameFAQs page for the Amiga version is no better.

Madden and Champ Mang are always perfect/most playable. Breath of Fire is a personal fave. Aladdin's rep is solely based on it being good for an iteration of a shit genre.

Voted Championship Manager and fuck you if you repped for Myst you fucking nub.

No, this was definitely 1993. I distinctly remember EGM picking it as the best Super NES game of the year, but not best fighting game of the year, which went to Samurai Shodown and there was this big article about how "What?? Street Fighter II Turbo didn't win the best fighting game of the year??"

Yes I am a huge dork.

another write-in vote: The 7th Guest

Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 2 January 2010 02:47 (fourteen years ago) link

Myst was a piece of shit.

Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 2 January 2010 02:47 (fourteen years ago) link

I concur with both of the last posts.

Wait, I have an even better write-in vote: God of Thunder for the PC!!!! An awesome viking RPG/puzzle game. Funny, too! And it's free.

Please note that if you get stuck in the first town, there's someone that you have to talk to twice!

Shoulda voted X-Com even tho it never stood a chance =(

mayor jingleberries, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 00:04 (fourteen years ago) link

Didn't even notice it in the poll - I kind of love Ogre Battle for its ambition, but i didn't hate myself quite enough to keep playing it. well, that was after a half-dozen tries to pass the third or fourth map over half a decade, so i definitely hate myself to a large extent

would have voted for x-wing, despite never having made it past the first mission where you blow up the freighters

I mean, were x-wing an available option

I loved (and voted for) Ogre Battle despite my incompetence. I think a great deal of the games I loved before I became a lazy old fart were frickin' brutal.

Man I loved Ogre Battle. Played it in Japanese on hard discs and don't know if I ever got past the fourth board.
