Ultima IX: Ascension...
...or should I say the '95-97 isometric version. You know, the one that was going to actually be a good Ultima and was going to top UVII. Without a shadow of a doubt, the game I was looking forward to the most.
*sigh*
I'll never be that excited about a game again.
Screw EA and screw UO.
On a more positive note...other games that I eagerly anticipated (to good results)
Half-Life (black/blue halflife.org back in the day, anyone?)
Maniac Mansion 2: Day of the Tentacle
Thief II: The Metal Age
The Curse of Monkey Island
The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall

Wing Commander 3 the reason for me to give up my Amiga 500 and switch to the PC. I remember getting 8megs of memory on sale for $300 at Lowes and a DX4-100 for $100 from a guy under a bridge near Pittsburgh.

The thing is I am a big time Nukem fan, and I was waiting a while for it to come out, back in 1999-2000 I think....
But before that When I played Wolfenstein3D for the first time, me and a friend heard there was an even better game called DOOM coming out, I was looking forward to that one.
ALso, Starcraft 64 was a big anticipation for me. I remember I played it so much when I got it, I didn't piss for several hours, I held it... and I got bladder infection.

I dont really think ive been this excited about any game ever. DooM3 comes close, but that got pushed off onto side thoughts as soon as I heard about HL2 @ E3.
Star Wars Galaxies also came really close, I expected the end-all of MMORPG's, what a joke, turned out to be a flop.
I remeber beening really excited about Quake3 before that came out too, DooM2 was a big one also.
oh, and Metriod Prime, I was really excited about that one also, that game rocked too.
But still nothing comes close to the excitment I feel tword HL2.

Duke Nukem Forever is the game I've been looking out for most intensely and over the longest period.
As for games that actually were released, I'd have to say Jedi Knight.
Dark Forces got me into PC (FPS) gaming and after I'd read a magazine preview in February '97 I really went bonkers over the promise that JK held.
Fortunately, the game lived up to and even exceeded my expectations, it's my joint (with DF) second all-time favorite after HL.

Black and White. Was everyone sucked into the hype about this game?
Incidentally, I was given the chance to fly over and see Black and White II in person, and it should be pretty damn cool...

I haven't had this much anticipation for anything (it's consuming my life). But the game that got me "back into" gaming (from the Commodore 64/Elite days) was BattleZone. I remembered playing the old vector version in the arcades as a young girl and was very curious about what they'd do with it. Blew me away at the time!

That game was 5 hours long!(SP)
In terms of graphics, it was very impressive, I was at my LAN gaming area, set it to Adept(or Experienced)-Beat it with my 5 hour limit at the place. And the game wasn't truely innovative, but remember, this is IMO. The special attack technique wasn't very new. And assault was gone and basically, Unreal Tournament 2004 is Epic fixing all the mistakes in UT2003

In reverse order:
Max Payne (wasn't disappointed, great game)
Black & White (slightly disappointed in the long term, was an amazing experience the first time I played it though)
Unreal (was a big part of the community leading up to this, slightly disappointed with the final product; the anticipation was much better than the final thing)
Quake (woo, first fully 3D FPS, not at all disappointed in this one)

Nothing. I didn't even know Half-Life exsisted until John Cook announced that he and Team Fortress Software had decided to use the Half-Life engine for TF2 instead of the Quake 2 engine. My response to reading that was, "What's Half-Life?!"
I was excited about Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, but not this excited. And besides, C&C:TS turned out to suck anyhow.
