That's a bit of a shock.

Now that it's down to ~$20 Aus I picked it (and the VC version) up. I can live with it and I do like the fair-sized maps but I certainly wouldn't have thought of it as a top 10, let alone #3?

Ok, admittedly I pretty much suck at it, but still ...

My comments on the winners.

Rank Game / Series Total Points

1 Civilization II 361


Agree, of course. Still my fave.

2 Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri 272

Im not as big a fan as some - I see WHY people like the story, even if it had its limits for me. The gameplay is interesting, if only it had been a bit more streamlined.



3 Civilization III 218

on my list. Must be a good deal, by now.



4 Civilization 172

Is it freeware yet?

5 X-Com: Enemy Unknown 125
Near the top of my list

6 Deus Ex 116

not my cup of tea, I think.

7 Baldur's Gate II 113

my next RPG, maybe.


8 Call to Power I 95
Hmm.


9 Call to Power II 76

Hmm.

10 Neverwinter Nights 71

11 Master of Magic 68

Maybe next TBS. Too civlike?


11 Master of Orion II 68

What Ive been playing recently. Not disappointed.


13 Fallout II 64

Maybe someday.

14 Starcraft 56

Definitely next RTS.


15 Master of Orion 55

15 Sim City 4 55

Id definitely like to get this.



17 Europa Universalis II 51

As soon as I get the new PC.


18 Pirates 46

Sounds interesting.

19 Morrowind 43

So many RPGs, so little time.

20 Halo I 42

Not a high priority.

20 Heroes of Might and Magic III 42

Vs MoM?


22 Sim City 2000 36

My first PC game, still a fave.


23 Heroes of Might and Magic II 34
23 Planescape: Torment 34

Very interesting exploration of the genre, if not quite my fave game.


25 Baldur's Gate I 33

I enjoyed it.


25 Ultima VII 33

No idea.


27 Warcraft III 31
Maybe someday.


28 Championship Manager 01/02 30
28 M.U.L.E. 30

30 Halflife 29

31 Championship Manager 97/98 26
31 Railroad Tycoon 1 26

A possibility.


31 Settlers II 26

Im just starting to dabble with this


34 Diablo II 25

I'll pass.

34 Doom 25

I'll pass.

39 Rome: Total War 22

A good reason to get a high qual video card.


42 Magic: The Gathering 21
42 Sim City 3000 21

Surpassed by SC4?


52 Grand Theft Auto II 19

Its free now right? Might get it sometime, just for the sake of argument.



52 Grand Theft Auto III 19
52 Unreal Tournament 19

55 Commander Keen 4 18
55 Imperialism II 18

Underrated game, very good.



55 Max Payne 18
55 Sim City 18
55 System Shock 2 18
55 The Longest Journey 18
55 Warcraft II 18

Played the demo. Its cute, i guess.



64 Quake III 16

Well if im gonna ever try an FPS ...



64 Romance of the Three Kingdoms I 16
64 Steel Panthers: World at War 16

Is this the free one?



74 Chrono Trigger 15

75 Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic 14

76 Gothic II 13
76 Hearts of Iron 13

Wait for HOI2 - if youre gonna play a realistic game, it might as well actually be realistic, right?



76 IL-2: Forgotten Battles 13


Flight sims are a pain without a joystick.



76 Myth II 13
76 NBA '98 13
76 Phantasy Star 13
76 Sims II 13

POTM is interested.




100 Colonization 8

Good work with this, Skanky, by the way

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

SMAC is still such a great game.

just finished a game last night. took over an empire 3 times the size of mine. Of course he was technologically inferior . actually not really, he just hadn't updated his units yet. they still had those res-3 defense units. not a match against my drop shard infantry.

although I never play civ2 anymore (because of civ3), it still ranks as my top. although eventually the total number of hours I have played smac will surpass that of civ2.

I suppose eventually I'll have to list SMAC as my favourite game, not civ2.

	15-01-2005 00:03									#71
	Put an end to popups!

Well it's favourite games not most hours played. If you don't want to put the game top which has the most hours then don't.

yes, but I ended up putting the games with the most approximate hours played. by my logic, those should be my favourite games...right?
