I'm a long time chess player and prefer stratgy games to blood and guts like Quake or Doom.
I've tried various Combat Flight Sims but find that I kill targets 1 plane/target. This makes it kind of hard on the manning charts.
My list contains:
Ceasar II
Silent Hunter
Fast Attack
Redstorm Rising (Sub Sim)
Sim City
Wolfpack
Jane's 688(I)
CIV II MGE and 2.42 (CD Version)
Age of Rifles
Harpoon Classic CD and Harpoon II AE
Conquest of the New World Deluxe
Raptor: Call of the Shadow

Wow..thinking back to the old days....The very first game I got addicted too was Police Quest 1.... Several friends and I spent hours solving that game.... My favorite games of course would be Legends of Zelda, Final fantasy and Civilization 2... Of all games tho, nothing compares to Civ2... Its just so addictive.... I've had age of empires, Warcraft, Romance of the three kingdoms but this game is always there, just waiting to be started up.... Nothing compares, Civ2 is the best...

I liked Railroad Tycoon 1+2 (I personally think the first is better because it was made by Sid Meier)
Just about all of the Sims, Descent Freespace and just about anything else

What if the Hokey-Pokey is really what its all about?

Well, there are a million old games but the one that made me want to play Civ was Populous (if you know what I mean) I downloaded it this weekend and it still rules! and its so small a programme I thought it couldn't be the full game.
Today I like Shogun, Counterstrike and Team Fortress Classic for Halflife. Also, Goldeneye and Legend of Zelda on the N64 are hard to beat and Metal Gear Solid is a quality title.
I also just got an X-Com collection and finally understand what all the fuss was about. How come no one else has mentioned them? Eh?
I can't wait for the next one, that'll rock!

I don't play all that many different games, but here's a few I like, and play(ed) frequently (besides Civ2):
Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty, This is probably the next best game I have. I'm still trying to get my hands on the first part, Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines,
Grand Theft Auto, just brilliant 
Need for Speed II
Age of Empires
Transport Tycoon
Queen: The Eye; this one's nice, not really my kind of game, but hey, a Queen fan should have it.
And a long time ago: Civilization, and even longer ago I played Commander Keen  a lot.

I've always wanted to get my two cents in on this.
Here goes . . .
Present PC:
Civ II (Of course)
Carmageddon-utterly tasteless, but a blast!
Hardball 5-been on the hard drive for a long time.
Seven Kingdoms-it grows on you after awhile.
Colonization-arrgh! Didn't you hate those horsemen
sitting on your property!
C&C series
Civil War Generals II
Sim City 2000
Alien vs. Predator-creepy, man.
Gangsters
Old PC:
Wolfenstein 3D-I loved killing those Nazis.
Dracula Unleashed-interactive movie game.
Playstation & others:
MLB 2001
Tomorrow Never Dies-loved the sniper mode.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
Dead or Alive
Games that stood a chance, if only . . .
Lords of the Realm II
Railroad Tycoon II
Conquest of the New World Deluxe
Seven Kingdoms II
(funny how these are all sequels or update editions)
Old Sega games;
NBA Jam (Oh my! He's on fire!)
Mortal Kombat
Most disappointing or worst game of all time:
X-Com: UFO Defense
I'll never hear the end on that last one. But it breaks the cardinal rule about any game I buy.

I`m afraid I`m going to have to step in here. What`s so bad about UFO: Enemy Unknown? (It`s the same game incase you were wondering).

Ummm, I've tried playing this game, and playing this game and . . . I just can't get past the first half of the thing. I get smoked by the aliens every time. It got so frustrating I nearly pulled the computer out of the wall. The game just got to me, I guess. I liked the concept, the eerie tone of the game, but it was nearly impossible to beat. My cardinal rule is that if you're not having fun playing the game, then it's not worth it. Believe me, I'd like to play UFO:Enemy Unknown, but not at the price of pulling my hair out. I've even searched the net for any, I mean any, guidebooks or faqs to make the game easier--even cheat codes. I'm really not saying it's the worst game, just the most disappointing. Perhaps I need to try some of the sequels, but I don't like to play sequels until I've played and beaten the original.

Maybe, I wouldn't know, it was the third strategy game I'd played (Chess and Populous the others)and I was very little, and I loved ants.
Its was cool.
