SMAC or Colonization. My favorite RTS game would have to be SM's Gettysburg, Starcraft/Warcraft has no strategy to it.

My fav games

RTS: starcraft.. so neatly balanced

Turn-based: master of orion II, still use it to pass full nights.

Arcade: star control II, great music, great quest

Quest: Betrayal at Krondor, took me three months!!!

3d-shotters: never loved them, but duke-nukem was more fun then half-life...

Did someone really say Blade runner????? It took me 4 and a half hours to finish it. And Im sorry, but FF7 really sucked big...... you get the picture. Its the only ? Ive ever tried, and I spent about 10 hours trying to figure out where the hell the game was. I mean there just nothing to it except a rather weak and one dimensional fighting engine and then some really duff story stuff.

Anyway in additin to my above as were allowed multiple categories, best RTS AOE by a long way and best "corridor" shooter doom, (though I still say magic carpet for the overall and I have enormous affection for Jedi knight)

Well, it's easy to pick the best (Civ 2 of course), but I have a lot of affection for quite a few others...

-smac
-aliens vs predator
-system shock (1 & 2)
-half-life
-jedi knight
-star craft
-x-wing series
-need for speed 4
-syndicate
-frontier elite 2

and who can forget the glorious experience that was Wing Commander 3 in its day?

TBS: Civ II (For it's time)
Simulation: SimCity 2000 or Links LS 99... (SimCity 3000 was ok, but SimCity 2000 was much better considering it was released in '93)
RTS: Hmmmmmm, AoE
Honorable mentions: Roller Coaster Tycoon, SMAC

That's basically all I play, I never really liked games like Doom...

I might have said Frontier a few months ago, but some weeks ago I downloaded it from the Internet (And not illegally, either. You need the manual, which I have). It was interesting for a few days, but got t-e-d-i-o-u-s quite quickly.

Put an end to popups!

I've got a new one for today - Darkstone. This game is so much fun! I wasn't even expecting it, it just arrived in the mail (for various reasons). It reminds me a bit of the completely addictive NES zelda when I was at school, but much better...

Best Computer game ever is Civ 2 or ToT doesnt matter which one. The next one that has stole most of my time over the years is The Tie fighters collectors CD ROM.this game is spectacular. As far as Strategy games go next to Civ2 I would Say Panzer General 2.

I thought the higher level of command was actually better than the little engagements of PG 2. This is Panzer General trying to be more like Steel Panthers.

SMAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
or Colinization or Gettysburg. Well Half Life is good . . . but the Xen levels suck. Still its the onlt FTS I will play. Most RTS suck-Starcraft and all RTS have universal winning strategy - RUSH! Which sucks after a while. Gettysburg is the only contradiction to those rules.

Cool. I was given "Conquer the World," a box set containing "Colonization," "Transport Tycoon," "Railroad Tycoon Delux," and "Pirates! Gold," but I never opened it. Looks like its about time I did!

Great games, not yet mentioned:
1) Starflight I & II.
2) Sentinel Worlds I (there was no II)
3) Machiavelli, the Prince
4) Stunts
5) Death Track
6) Seawolf
7) Strike Eagle II
8) Emperor of the Fading Suns.

ELITEists -- I never got the point of the Elite. You buy some stuff at one planet and take it to another, where you sell it. Sure, occasionally, you get attacked by space pirates, but once you mount a powerful weapon to fire backwards, that problems pretty much taken care of. Yet I know there's an army of people who rave about the game. What am I missing.
