In no particular order --

SE4, Xconq, FO2.

SE4 we all know.

Xconq is a (primarily Unix, but also others now, methinks) VERY expandable open-source Strategic-Conquest-like game. Some of its expandability comes from what appears to be a Lisp-like (or perhaps it's full Lisp; I've not checked... but that would be overkill, methinks) interpreter built in.

FO2: damn fun RPG with a great sense of humor, and highly flexible character design.


Those are the only three I have which get a lot of playing time, aside from the occasional nostalgia game (_Neuromancer_, _Wasteland_, _Incunabula_ mostly).

Temptations (i.e. games not yet bought, but considered) that come to mind include CM:BO, TOAW:COW, and FO:T, but I really should be working on a thesis proposal instead... ;-)

1. Team Fortress Classic
2. Space Empires IV
3. Mechwarrior 4
4. No One Lives Forever
5. Imperium Galactica 2

These are just the ones still seeing the light of day...I still have The Sims and Fallout 2 shortcuts on my desktop.

All-time:
1. X-Com: UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep
2. Space Empires series
3. Half-Life/TFC
4. Master of Orion 1/2
5. Wing Commander series

Shame on you Apocalypse lovers...that game was a travesty after the glorious first two...too bad they cancelled Dreamland Chronicles. At least MOO3 is en route!

(1) SE4
(2) Armies of Arm.: Wargamers Dev. Kit 2k
(3) Combat Mission
(4) Earth 2150/Moon Project
(5) Jagged Alliance 2/UB

and when I have an itchy trigger finger. . .
