The Gentlemen's Rule
Kieron talks about Chaos over at The Escapist. A game that swallowed up so many summer holidays, both days and nights, and two different groups of friends. The second group never seemed to accept the Gentlemen's Rule, though: that player-killing only begins after all the computer players are dead.
Oh, for a days of 'a stupid' King Cobra…

Ah, Chaos. Truly one of the all-time greats. So addictive. So many possibilities. A perfect mix of planning, skill and, most importantly, luck.
It was a game that had so many great moments built in. Like the moment when you realise that 'inflatable' Dragon standing next to you is actually still there after your Disbelieve and, :gulp:, isn't so inflatable after all. Then the same feeling in reverse when the Dragon's attacks then bounce off your, obviously very well-lined, wizard's robe. Superb.

Heh, at which point, your wraith gets to the wizard that owns the dragon and exacts vicious retribution...
And Turmoil, where you were never sure whether the game would simply crash rather than finish casting!
