Wow. I can't remember what my first one was.
That card game to decide your class was BRILLIANT. I wonder if there's one of those online quizzes we could throw in this thread based off that fortune teller's cards?
Found it!

Medal of Honour - is that different where you live, how could you possibly consider that one as the best games ever made - as for the rest you mentioned, yeah there spot on
Knights of the Old Republic - I heard a lot about this game but I've never actually seen it never mind played it, worth doing a bit of poking around for is it
as for medal of honor, i first played the original on the playstation, i remember having all the lights off and loading it up; it was just fantastic, i went the whole night playing it and really felt i was there... that's what a great game is all about, okay, call of duty is miles better, but medal of honor set the tread

For example, the dilemma between Honor and Honesty is:

Thou art sworn to protect thy Lord at any cost, yet thou knowest he hast committed a crime. Authorities ask the of the affair, dost thou:
A) Silently keep thine oath
B) Break thine oath by speaking
After you've gone through this sort of thing a number of times, you'll find that you tend to choose one of the Virtures more than the others. Each Virtue has a class associated with it. For example, if you were mostly Honorable, you will be a Paladin, while if you were mostly Honest, you will be a Mage. Your class is determined by this fortune teller's personality test.
Take a look at the link I offered earlier:

I'm still hesitating between ebay or from amazon the limited edition box! 😕
I being serious here, have been playing games since the 1980's and this is excellant
I bought he special pack, but I can use the stuff in it, the safe box for passport / important papers, the bag for my gym stuff, the CD music to chill with....so if you would use the stuff, get the pack, otherwise just go for the normal one.

Good call, Starr, on Dungeon Master. Gameplay's kind of lame but the magic system kicks butt and the character selection room is kind of neat.
