CMD KEEN & LEMMINGS. Those were the best games of their time. Commander Keen is a side scroller, mario rip off although more interesting imho. Lemmings is probably the best puzzle game in history of gaming, nothing compares!!! Civilization is addictive, although I dont see why you should play that considering the newer Civs are better. | ||

I didnt played Civ 1 ( only Civ 2, 3 and 4 ) but i dont think Civ4 > Civ3 > Civ 2 There are some good changes but some bad too. I enjoyed way more Civ 2 late game ( faster than Civ 3 ). Civ 4 stats for units suck it is all about heavy armor in late game .... ( for both attack and defense ). Religions and custom home policies are good though  uppgrades for units too.edit: there is Civ 2 in the list right ? xd | ||

). I think I've beaten ep 1-3 and 5, failing on 4 badly (THAT LEVEL FULL OF TAR +%=/!"/%(!!! ) and almost completing 6. The other being X-Wing (the first one and the original). I've spent literally 5 years with breaks in and out on the latter. And killed a TON of ball-mices | ||

Sorry to hijack this a bit, but I always wanted to discuss the following game (which isn't on this list though). It was developed somewhere around 1995 by a (to me) unknown company called "The Logic Factory". The game's title is Ascendancy, and it's space-TBS, the kind of colonizing and fighting battles in star-systems. I really enjoyed it, mostly because of the vast number of races (being 30 or more), even though their differences are limited to having a special unique, passive or active ability. What's unique about this game: well, there are a few things. First, the most important there's no resource gathering involved at all, all you have to do is build stuff on your planet(s). Each planet can have one project ongoing at a time, at it takes a fixed number of days to finish. There are 3 areas that you can upgrade in, industry (projects take less days) population growth (each building takes one person, and if you dont have a free person ready, you need to wait until one spawns before starting a new project, losing time) and research (research is done in a different tab, only one research per empire, depending on the full-scale research power of your empire, works similar to one planet's projects based on industry level). You can also build buildings to increase slots for offspring, defend against invasions, anti-space defenses, cloaking, etc. Another unique thing is the star system layout. There are different star-systems in the game, linked together with a system of "tubes" called star-lanes. So you don't just randomly click your ships around the map, but when you enter a system, you need to move inside it like you would in a real solar-system, orbiting planets (which btw, are orbiting their sun as the days go by, I've found this very cool ). When you enter a new star system by a starlane (or it's slower version, a red link) you can see all the other systems you can go from there on your main starmap.The whole game is very basic btw, space battles are made of ships taking pot-shots at each other, and ground battle is nonexistant (it's about you have at least one more "invasion modules" than the planet has surface shields, but modules get used up every time you invade, and refilling them isn't the easiest thing to do[there are some races who modify this]), so this part isn't the best about it. However, you can totally design your ships with the researched equipment you have (you can make specialized ones for mass invasion / speed, but no weapons, or ones designed only to escort these and fight, or cookie-cutters) allowing tons of variability. There's no campaign, you're presented with a random map every time you play (can change star density, number of races present, diplomacy-environment [how co-operative / aggressive your opponents are] ). The biggest con is that the AI is very dumb, and that there's no multiplayer. If someone would mod this game, this could be the HoMM 1 / 2 / 3 of space, I tell you There's a patch that claimed to fix this, well, first time I played it I was careless and got my ass kicked, but it just took a little time to adapt to the new challenge - the computer gets caught in a loop after some time and falls behind on fleet / colonization / research and you can basically 1vX them at once if you wish in "mid-game".All in all, I still think it's a very fun game, and I'm curious if any of you have heard of it / maybe played it. It's definitely worth checking out, some racial abilities are damn'd cool | ||

Yeah i can remember Ascendancy. It had a great atmosphere but if i remember correctly the micromanagement of the planets was quite annoying. I prefer playing the Master of Orion series over it. Found a video about Ascendancy on youtube (+ MOO and other old great games in Related Videos) for those who are interested. Other games i really liked to play back in the days were: Dark Forces The Dig Both had a great atmosphere. To stay on topic: I'd recommend Beneth a Steel Sky and Day of the Tentacle. Really nice and funny adventures. And of course Tie Fighter. But don't get discouraged if you get shot down often. I think the Empire had to waste about a thousand Tie Figthers for my piloting skills. | ||
