Classic PC games you missed out on

This is the thread to list all the legendary games you've never played!

I'll go first.

I've never played Deus Ex, System Shock, or Fallout. *Waits for the gasping to cease* .....how about you?

Fallout and Starcraft.

I managed to snag Fallout 1 and 2 last year, and loved them both.

Last week I got the Starcraft Battlechest thing and its pretty awesome.

Never played Deus Ex, I've always wanted to but I can never find it:(

I've played JK but missed out on its prime. Wish I could go back in time. I've never played a single Starcraft / Warcraft. Also never played Half Life. Maybe thats why I dont really understand Half Life 2?

I've never played these either. Or Doom, or any of the Quake games. Lots of others too. No wonder I feel an emptiness in my life. :(

I keep hearing about this "half life" game.
I guess there was a sequal that was ok too.

Oh yeah, Jedi Knight.

In all seriousness: Starcraft
I just played Final Fantasy 7 for the first time about 8 months ago.

Deus Ex. And Doom. And most of Half-Life.

And I've played Starcraft, but only very little.

Well, I think I've missed Fallout and 2 because I played through Fallout 1 in like 1998 and I don't really remember anything of it.

I guess Warcraft and Starcraft are the others, yet I own the latter one :|

lots of old skool adventure games, which really sucks.

i've been working my way through the monkey island series. 1 and 3 have been my favorites thus far.

but anyway,

i've played most truly "classic" games, i just didnt like some of them. as far as completely missing the boat, System Shock is the only one i can think of. maybe others.

I highly recommend Thief II. I think you'd like it.

Ah yes, the Thief games... I bought all of them for like 20 e year ago and haven't played them yet :|

Grim Fandango and all adventure games too, I have far too small amount of patience to try figure anything out myself.

I'm surprised so many people haven't played Fallout. But then, I haven't played Sam and Max, so I guess I don't have room to criticise :P

Ditto.

Altough I never owned a pc until about 4 years ago. :P
nope.

Way too many to list. My PC gaming is spotty and limited. With the exception of the HL and JK series, most all the games mentioned belong on my list. I have however played Quake and Doom, and (long after they came out) I played a cursory runthough of a bunch of classic p&c adventure games, mostly the space quest series, monkey island, sam and max, etc. I wouldn't really count them though because I hardly played them.

Everything to do with Warcraft excepting a brief foray into the World thereof.

Duke Nukem everything.
Starcraft things.
Numerous other cool things.
