Pretty sure that is from
Dungeon Keeper
.
This next (pretty long) quote is from one of my favourite games of all time:
"What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machines, escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds."

Hmmm.... I don't know, but it kinda inspired me to another quote: War. War never changes.

That one isn't ringing any bells for me.
Another quote from my game is:
"For each side, the only acceptable outcome is the complete elimination of the other."

Sauman - a space based game that featured war between humans and machines. Based on your earlier statements I am guessing it is pre-1995. Maybe an war/strategy game based on the "complete annihilation' bit. Hmmm.... I can't think of anything that fits those criteria.
Jan - I think that is
Fallout 3. Actually the only Fallout game I played. *Hangs head in shame*
On a somewhat related topic:
War! Never been so much fun.

LOL, don't hang your head nor any other vital body part - I haven't played "3", I've got the quote from the intro of "2" so obviously they used it in all the games and you're right!
And I believe your quote is from
Cannon Fodder
.

Correct. One of the best video game theme songs in my opinion (
Go to your brother/ kill him with your gun/ leave him lying in his uniform/ dying in the sun
)

Dammit... Too late for
Cannon Fodder
. What a great game!
oh_brother... You almost said the name of my game in your post.
Clue -- 90s RTS.

How about:
"Hey you! How about lending me your clothes? No dice?! What a drag."

Sophia got it... It was indeed
Total Annihilation
!
No idea about the 'lending clothes' quote.

Mine was from
Portal 2
. Don't know any of these. Well, I recognised the "War. War never changes" one but thought it was from one of the
Warhammer 40k
games. And I knew the
Dungeon Keeper
one although wasn't sure if the quote was from the original or the sequel. But I don't know any of the quotes that are left. It seems I keep checking this forum several hours too late to actually put in an answer to the ones I do know, lol.

After thinking about the
Total Annihilation
quote, i loaded it up and played a level for old times sake. Anything that much fun is usually illegal!
Anyway, i think there are only two live ones (Sophia's and CS') so i'll throw a really well known one into the ring... but the quote is so short, it could plausibly be from anything. So i'll add a clue:
Early 90s multi-platform (16-bit) puzzle game...
"Let's Go!"

Never played that game, though the name rings a bell.
I don't recognise Sophia's...a modern day rpg?
For Sauman's latest, I was going to guess one of the
Mario
games, but they were not multi-platform.

Saumun,

For mine, I'll give another clue.

All I can think of now is
"I'm selling these fine leather jackets." And no, you don't have to "guess" this one, it's pretty obvious. I'm just saying it because I can't think of anything else.

Yeah, of course. Well, this is a running joke in most of the point-and-click L.A. adventures, i.e. both M.I. and Indy.
Now, your quote, Ameena, sounds very familiar, but even if you
killed me

I wouldn't guess it - any more hints?

Alright, so I've decided to bring this thread to a new level - display a fragment from a screenshot from a game. Again, guess the game.
First one:
PS: I'm new to Photobucket so I hope the image is displayed correctly.

Saumun, I am quite sure this is from the trailer of

Nope... not that Terkio. A fragment of an in-game shot from something much older.

YAHOOO, the game was Nuclear War.
Most of those games so far I have never played. Great idea with the screen shots. Not sure of the one above.
How about this one

@Saumun: Yes, you guessed the first one correctly. But I don't know the one you presented - I might know it, maybe later you could display a larger image.
@CS: I'm very sure I don't know yours.
And a new one from me:
PS Honestly, I don't know yet how exactly to approach this. Maybe this is too easy? The interface is very suggestive and probably reveals too much. On the other hand, a fragment without a part of the interface is usually too unspecific. Perhaps I'll start making cross-sections covering both the interface and the gameplay window.

Gods! Woot! Good game

. My dad loved that one, though I preferred Magic Pockets

. Don't recognise Jan's.
Here's another, more recognisable quote from my game...
"Stay a while and listen!"

Right, so here is the whole screenshot from my previous image:
This must be pretty obvious now.
Don't know the other games though. I've certainly not played CS's game. As for Saumun's one, it's obviously an adventure game from the first half of the 1990s but I don't think I've played this one and I certainly don't know the answer - makes me quite curious

Dammit.... Should've got
Gods
! Thought that it looked familiar.
I think Jan's is from
Dune
.
Don't know CS' new one.
Mine was from
Another World
