WarCry: What computer games have been an inspiration in the past?

Feargus Urquhart: Like the number of books I've read, there have been a ton of computer games that I have played and enjoyed over the years. If I had to core it down to the ones that I think influenced me, I would say they would be Wizardry I, Ultima 4, Bard's Tale 1, Wasteland, Baldur's Gate 2 (even though I was involved in making it, it still influences how I think of games to this day), Fallout (similar to BG2), Masters of Orion, Colonization, Pharoah, Battlefield 1942 and EQ.
