Select your favorite game or game franchise.  By franchise I mean all versions of the game.  So if you like Quake III please select Quake.  If you like StarCraft Brood War select StarCraft.

I want to vote for Half-Life and NOT counter-strike.  Sure counter-strike is good for those with patience and skills, but Half-Life and TFC are great for those of us who need 10 minutes of hectic blood shedding and caotic violence to relieve enough stress to tackle the next homework assignment.

Hear, hear!  I agree with the TFC thing.  It was great to snipe a couple of "playerX"s when they walked out into the open.  Too bad we can't score some cheap copies of Half-Life for LAN gaming.

Half-Life is still at the top of our list for acquistions.  If somebody can find a decent price on it, we are in the market for purchasing.

If we get licensed copies of Half-Life, we can also play CS and TFC (with the latter providing for more exciting expletive drawing lan parties)

Where's the YDKJ option?

Oh, good one. :-D  I liked You Don't Know Jack.  I was only thinking about network games when I wrote this list, but it would have made it had I been a little more creative.  BTW the television game show YDKJ was terrible.   :-P

No way! There was a YDKJ tv show? phear...  I am going to have to find a mpeg of one of these gems.

The show had it's moments.  I think it was doomed from the beginning since it was hosted by Pee-Wee Herman...   :-)

That show was downright awful!  Paul Ruebens was just downright depressing as a host, and never made any of the jokes that Cookie (YDKJ3) made.  He was just some dark-looking person with a big nose and a low voice.

And I'm not sure if it's just 'cause I'm using Mozilla, but I can't read the box I'm typing in.
