I am a little surprised no one else has said Master of Magic.  It was the perfect empire builder at the time and I have seen nothing since that appeared to have the same Fun Factor as MoM.  Head over to HotU and pick it up.

TS has it's high points, just not many of them and I'm hard pressed to think of one at the moment, but it does have a few.  Rumor has it that EA has finally pulled it's head out of it ass and started work on C&C 3: Tiberian Nightfall or sommat, if true I only hope that they've contracted out for a quality product and aren't going to make another General.

The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

If it ain't Westwood it ain't CnC.
though I've never been too big a fan of the series (not due to its quality, I just haven't played much of it)

Terra Nova (poor Looking Glass)
Dark Reign (released a few days before Total Annihilation-didn't stand a chance)
Total Annihilation
Freespace 1 and 2
Tie Fighter
Delta Force 2 (Nothing quite compares to sitting on a hill a kilometer away and firing 1 or two shots, then changing postion and repeating-20 kills, 0 deaths...ah yes, that was fun)
Half-Life
Ground Control (it was out in 1999, I think-if not it was in Jan 2000)

MOST of my games are pre 2000!   :lol:


1. Starcraft
2.  Transport Tycoon (Deluxe)
3.  Civ 2
4.  Quake 2
5.  SimCity 2000


Between Transport tycoon, Civ 2, SC2000, and Starcraft (dont play quake as much)  I've wasted thousands of hours of my life.  Civ 2 is especially hard to stop playing, atleast starcraft has a definative end to the mission.

Yup. Not sure how much further they can actually milk it. Moscow has been destroyed so many times.

Personally, I was disheartened after they brought in pyschic troopers...

I've been browsing HotU, The Legacy and sites like that.

I didn't know how many games I had played. Browsing all that stuff from half a lifetime ago made me terribly sentimental.

Squids...

You pop one with one Destroyer. Simple as that. But seriously... another RA game? It's been beaten to death already.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

I wish they would remake MoM.

Planescape: Torment was Perfection in an RPG.
