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.

Re: Favorite games
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

Re: Favorite games
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...

Re: Favorite games
For those who listed Alpha Centauri, are you referring to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, or the Brian Cranford one? ![](http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif) (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...

Re: Favorite games
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.

Re: Favorite games
In order of time consumed which equals love =
Dom III
Warlords BattleCry II
Civ 3/4
Baldurs Gate I/II
Heroes of MM 2/3
and my first game
Might and Magic for the IBM PS286 (now that was a sweet rig)
(I somehow missed out on Master of Magic, much to my later dismay in life).
