feh......i don't do consoles. playable once.

there just aren't really any good games anymore. just the same the same
the same.........shoot, dead, blood, run, jump, blah.........it's pretty
sad.

but there has to be a tomb raider of today. something that just gets
everyone's attention and makes playing a game worthwhile?

ain't there? something? there's gotta be something that you just can't
wait to play in the evening. something you think about all day because
you're stuck on a good level and think of nothing else but solving it?

i'm checkin' all the demo sites and reading reviews of new games and
they're all so ordinary. there's gotta be that one jewel in the crown
somewhere......

If you don't do consoles you are missing some absolute gems of games. I
took up console gaming when I realised that I couldn't keep up with the
demands of PC gaming. I have to use a laptop. So I have discovered some
wonderful games which are not all about shooting. My recommendations are
not about that except perhaps Max Payne and Mafia.

Anyway Oblivion is a game that I played for months and months and kept
dreaming about it. I loved the environment, the exploring, the adventures
and the endless possibilities. It's a game I shall return to over and over
again.

old but I love it, Urban chaos by Mucky Foot Prod (NOT urban chaos:
riot response):

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/urbanchaos/index.html?tag=result;title;0

more action oriented then TR but very interesting, at first it just
seems like you are running around kicking butts but there are actually
optimal (easier) ways to get through each level and that's what makes
you explore everything...

amazon has few copies (no they don't pay me:-), you can download demo
from http://www.gamespot.com

Similar in age to 'Tomb Raider IV, the Last Revelation' is
'Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine',
<http://www.mobygames.com/game/indiana-jones-and-the-infernal-machine>.
It plays identical to the TR I - TR IV ( - TR V ) games and is in my opinion
just as good. ( Rip-offs back and forth, Movies <-> Games, all good. )

I've only played the DEMO of 'Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb',
<http://www.mobygames.com/game/indiana-jones-and-the-emperors-tomb>.
It's about the same age as 'TR VI, AOD' and they are probably similar in
game-play. ( I've yet to play TR V before i tackle TR VI. )

Like for the Theif-series, there are also user-made levels and scenarios for
Tomb Raider, see <http://www.larashome.com/forums/index.php?showforum=176>.
As i have unplayed official games in my bookshelf i haven't played any yet,
but i find it a little strange that there is so little talk about them in
this group.

yeah i've played both indiana jones games, and the infernal machine was
the better of the two.

i don't know if people are still making levels for TR or not. there
were some good ones but by the time i tired of playing them they were
getting really short or stupid. besides that, TR4 was one of the least
interesting games of the series and that's where all of the objects
seemed to have come from.

there are some phenomenal fan made levels for thief, though. besides
those, i highly recommend thief 1 and 2. 3 can get forgotten. besides,
there's a fan made game, as well. T2X was really very good. there's
also the dark mod being worked on. http://www.mindplaces.com/darkmod/

i downloaded the demo but it crashes on me after 'press any key' right
at the beginning. i've tried a few different settings, etc, but i don't
really want to put that much effort into making a demo work.

Drakan is fun, in my opinion. It plays well on a home LAN. Quake 2 is
an old favorite, also good on a home LAN. It doesn't need much
horsepower to run well and there are plenty of cool characters to use.
My favorite is the rocket-launcher hamster with the fez and the
sunglasses.
One can build a home LAN very cheaply these days that will run these
older games. LAN gaming is the best.
Never had much luck online gaming with dial-up.
