Weirdly enough the GTA series which I had the most fun playing. Especially with friends. So many amazing memories and a memorable part even in the whole of gaming history. Different from what we currently have for the GTA games, true to it's roots, to the top-down perspective playing and even title - truly free to do whatever it is that you want. All the vehicles were unique, you even got paint jobs, so were the different available weapons and with them as well as other elements like police, callouts and so on - you could have an absolute blast!

I played it for many hours on the PSone in the early 2000s. I always got stuck on the last city or area, because of how hard and punishing the game actually is, and there were so many unexpected ways to die. However, I always found something that kept me coming back for more. The design of the city, the sounds and the criminal atmosphere. Recently, I watched streams of Josh playing the PC version of GTA2. I didn't feel any nostalgia because it wasn't my favourite game, so I was able to appreciate what I saw afresh. And my goodness! Despite the top-down view and clunky moments (especially when shooting), the city looks so real and alive, and the gameplay offers so many funny and unexpected scenarios. I also appreciated the retro-futuristic dystopian style. I would love to play this atmospheric game.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
