I looked that DragonStrike thing up. LOL! Either you have started playing computer games from the cradle, or you're much older than I am. Roguelikes on the list might indicate the latter.

I first played it maybe 5 years ago, so I just find my games a bit later than others. Perhaps I'll start raving about StarCraft 2 in ten years or so.

Favorite games are a bit hard to list, so I'll go with the most-time-spent idea:

1.Dominions
2.Roguelikes (predominantly nethack)
3.Alpha Centauri
4.Civilization
5.Majesty

Games I liked a lot thought didn't spend that much time on, comparatively:

*Knights of the old republic
*King of dragon pass
*Master of magic
*Conquest of Elysium
*Star Control 2

Not in order:
Bardstale

EDIT: If I could have 11, Nethack

Fun!

(Not in any particular order)

Dominions 3 of course.
Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness (Best game music ever).
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (NWN isn't half as good).
Planescape: Torment.
Rome: Total War (largely due to mods).
Master of Magic.
Syberia (in large part to cool story and aesthetics)
Tie Fighter (MUCH better then later "X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter")
Crusader: No Remorse
Syndicate (needs a modern remake IMHO).

This may change as I think about it more.

I suppose you're talking about the original Bullfrog game, not the Syndicate Wars one. I loved that game. It was awesome. I made the big mistake of trying to play it again about a year ago. Don't do that, you'll only risk shattering your sweet memories of this awesome game...

For those who listed Alpha Centauri, are you referring to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, or the Brian Cranford one? (If anyone not related to me even KNOWS what I'm talking about, I'd be willing to give them money.)

Most addicting games I've played, in rough order:

WoW
Diablo II
Dominions X (where X = 2+)
FF Tactics
MULE (and many other classics)
Star Control II must be named...

I'm sure I could come up with others...

[Lingchih]

In relative order of favoriteness:

Dominions (2 or 3)
Alpha Centauri
Civilization 2
Galactic Civilizations 2
Master of Orion 2
Morrowind
World of Warcraft (an addiction I have since cured myself from, but man did I have fun for 1 1/2 years)
Baldur's Gate
Knights of the Old Republic
Oblivion

I wish Brian Reynolds would buy the rights to Alpha Centauri, and come out with a sequel. Man that was a great game.

Daggerfall
Baldur's Gate
Starcraft
