Noctis. For obvious reasons.
System Shock. Ditto.
World of Warcraft. I'm not sure why.
My first thought: Nethack. But no, that actually makes me feel... well, the opposite of lonely, whatever that is. |

thus accenuating the loneliness! the only company you have in the game wants to eat you, i mean, major sad face. ski free's zeitgeist really begs the question, no? |

Toto, or somebody else, please tell me about DEFCON.
I read a review of it that really intrigued me, and I want to play!
Potential problems: I know the game isn't overpowering, but my computer is a five-year old iBook. Is this going to be too big a problem/what is the best way to go about playing this game? I should say that I haven't played a pc game in probably six years, so any help you could give me would be even further appreciated if it were remarkably understandable.

Why don't you just try the demo then?

| i keep trying to play dragon warrior 7 (I realize 'all jrps' has been posted) but it only struck me the other night how EMPTY that game is. even when you unlock all the new landmasses, there's still nothing there beyond the surface level. it's like there's me wandering around in a labyrinth with a disembodied voice taunting me every so often. |

Steam game.
Also available from other sources.
Very simplistic.
Everybody has the same amount of weapons, there are no tech trees or anything like that.
I love the style of it.
The barren, howling wasteland noise combined with the hum of bunker machinery, silo klaxons, olde-skoole cursor beeps and green crt. The bluish-white techno map room thing. Oh, the sobbing of the survivors. nice touch
The intro screen would make an awesome screen saver.
I'm going now to see if there is a Defcon windows theme available.

Metroid 2. Far more than the other Metroids.

Vagrant Story.
That game is creepy in ways I don't feel comfortable talking about. Even when you're not in a dungeon, but a rustic European town, the loneliness is disconcerning. That many things go unexplained but "work" (like the mercenaries using magic, or there being skeletons and dragons) is part of the mystery. The game takes itself seriously enough that you question where there are skeletons (a sci-fi movie would have to say something about nanomachines to suspend disbelief, for example) but it purposely doesn't give you an answer.
Hell, even the fonts they chose were creepy. |

I disagree. |
When you roll up everything in the world and find there's nothing left to do except rock bloatedly back and forth in the ocean, it is.
Ditto Doshin the Giant when you realise you can get Doshin so big only his feet fit on the screen, and villages that seemed like a permanant fixture before are wiped out by walking over them and mountains are levelled in one punch.
Within a matter of 3 giddy minutes you've wiped out all life on earth. Then the day ends and your game saves. The game's true ending is pretty sad in a similar way. |

Ghostbusters 2 (Gameboy version). Even with two people on your team, it's lonely.

Another one: Legend of Mana.
Sure, a lot of people join your team, and you have to interact with people to perform quests. But you're the only one in the world who seems to know that the planet suffered some kind of tragedy. As you slowly rebuild the world, piece by piece, no one mentions how towns are instantly springing up from desolate areas where nothing can grow. In fact, they talk as if the towns never left in the first place.
Sometimes, you wonder if the towns and lands are there for everyone in the world, but you. |

It's somehow fun, for all its faults. I actually played it for 30 hours, despite it featuring Every Terrible Thing An RPG Can Do Wrong, because it's somehow not terrible (and only stopped because I moved, and forgot what I was doing). Swimmy liked it, I think. Swimmy probably eats barb wire for breakfeast, though. |

Rob Hubbard is awesome of course. I usually don't find his stuff cold sounding though.
On the subject of Commodore: Forbidden Forest. Note the final stage in particular.

LIES (although I do agree with the second part). I spent a whole week this summer hanging out a friend of mine's house with some co-workers watching him play Kingdom Hearts 2. It was hellish at times, but a tad bit entertaining and I was allowed to leave at any time as long as I brought back cigarettes (only slightly kidding). |
