Did any one play the racing game POD? Man was it awesome... the speed... the competition... the insane track layouts!

I don't think anyone put up this game yet. If they did, I apologize but WC2 was my game back in the 90s

I did not like the FMV ones as much, but that was all the rage back then (OMG FMV is the future

)

There was a discworld game?!

Shogo was pretty fun.

I don't think anyone has brought up starcraft yet?

For a game that's already over 6 years old, it still looks pretty amazing.

These screens also show what the game can look today, when fans with some serious skill have spend years on modding the graphics. I think it looks pretty close to or even better than Oblivion.
