I loved "Lemmings" and "The Incredible Machine". I also loved playing Doom in multiplayer with my Gravis Ultrasound soundcard.

More recent but also getting quite dated now, I still love playing GTA3 and GTA3 Vice City.

Worms on the PS1 was pretty awesome. I don't like the 3D version at all.

Of course, it depends on what you mean by "greatest"

For every Eve Online there is an "Elite".
For every "Championship Manager'10" there is a "Football Manager '83"
and for every HL2 a "Monster Maze"

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants. As the saying goes.

During my "early" period in Eve, the hardcore PvPers were in MoO and the guiding hand social club.
I flew in the Stain Alliance under Everlasting Vendetta commanded by Joshua Calvert.

Now, I can't be arsed "moving up the ranks" in another alliance. Takes too much time to build a decent character and reputation.
So I pottered about in the Empire with a trader alt and make cash. I even got bored of that and canned my subs (always had two accounts and ran two clients on one box).
I will probably pick it up again. Got into wormhole surveying a little while ago. :dono:
I wanted to see planets, and a bit of walking about in the station (and make it worthwhile to do so.)
