Any recommendations for a cheap MMORPG?

 

No such thing.

 

Even if they're free to play, they still cost loads of time.

 

I have a world of warcraft account and haven't touched it in over 6 months, cuz' the time they take keeps getting longer and longer.

 

Bioware's new "The Old Republic" does indeed look promising, as does "Stargate Worlds", but in terms of cost, there's tons of them that you don't have to pay, but don't expect much in terms of content. An MMO needs to provide alternatives and most of all, have a decent community so that players are motivated to start AND continue playing. And there's only one MMO out there that garantees that, and that's wow.

 

If you don't want to pay for it, there's loads of "private" servers where you can play the game for free. You might try one of them out, just for fun, but it's nowhere near the same as the official one.

Speaking of Doom, let me present (again for self vanity) my arcade top games games of all time. Arcade games meaning games that came to the arcades long before consoles were invented:

 

10 - Afterburner (still remember that giant chair)

9 - Marvel vs Capcom

8 - Ikaruga (many coins were lost in that machine)

7 - Altered Beast

6 - Outrun

5 - Time Crisis

4 - World Cup '90 (got to the semi final, so close on one credit)

3 - Space Harrier

2 - Soul Calibur

1 - Street Fighter 2

 

New Zealand story narrowly misses out, was a favourite on my C64 though!

I'm not going to make a top10, because of to time consuming.

But the best game imo is GTA Vice City,

i can still spend hours driving around, with the 80's music blasting out :)

Gameplay was far from revolutionary, but it's the athmosphere in the city that makes the game so good for me

 

honourable mentions:

 

Dragon Quest VIII-ps2

MGS3-ps2

Mr. Nuts-GameBoy (my first electronic game)
