Games Civ Players love...

[BuilderR]

what am I? an idiot???

I forgot :

C&C series.

Sim City

RRT - but not for long, it gets boring IMO.

Colonization - great memories from a great game.

and of course Civ&SMAC

[Mercator]

I don't play all that many different games, but here's a few I like, and play(ed) frequently (besides Civ2):
Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty, This is probably the next best game I have. I'm still trying to get my hands on the first part, Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines,
Grand Theft Auto, just brilliant
Need for Speed II
Age of Empires
Transport Tycoon
Queen: The Eye; this one's nice, not really my kind of game, but hey, a Queen fan should have it.

And a long time ago: Civilization, and even longer ago I played Commander Keen a lot.

Quite a number of people here have mention colonization. I'd say that besides Civ/civ2/ctp it was the best strategy game I ever played.

Back on the c64:
Questron
Legacy of the ancients
Bards tale
Archon II: adept
Battletech: the crescent hawk's inception

early pc days (the 8086 I bought at a garage sale):
Fairy Godmom
Moraff's world

Later on:
Master Of Orion, this is even more addicting than Civ! I don't think of it as much when away from it, but while playing, I can't make myself stop.
X wing
Civ1
Descent
Jill of the jungle
skyroads

Now:
Civ2
Diablo (I finally took time from civ2 to load it)
Transport Tycoon

I've always wanted to get my two cents in on this.
Here goes . . .

Present PC:
Civ II (Of course)
Carmageddon-utterly tasteless, but a blast!
Hardball 5-been on the hard drive for a long time.
Seven Kingdoms-it grows on you after awhile.
Colonization-arrgh! Didn't you hate those horsemen
sitting on your property!
C&C series
Civil War Generals II
Sim City 2000
Alien vs. Predator-creepy, man.
Gangsters

Old PC:
Wolfenstein 3D-I loved killing those Nazis.
Dracula Unleashed-interactive movie game.

Playstation & others:
MLB 2001
Tomorrow Never Dies-loved the sniper mode.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
Dead or Alive

Games that stood a chance, if only . . .
Lords of the Realm II
Railroad Tycoon II
Conquest of the New World Deluxe
Seven Kingdoms II
(funny how these are all sequels or update editions)

Old Sega games;
NBA Jam (Oh my! He's on fire!)
Mortal Kombat

Most disappointing or worst game of all time:
X-Com: UFO Defense
I'll never hear the end on that last one. But it breaks the cardinal rule about any game I buy.

[Paul Hanson]

I`m afraid I`m going to have to step in here. What`s so bad about UFO: Enemy Unknown? (It`s the same game incase you were wondering).

Ummm, I've tried playing this game, and playing this game and . . . I just can't get past the first half of the thing. I get smoked by the aliens every time. It got so frustrating I nearly pulled the computer out of the wall. The game just got to me, I guess. I liked the concept, the eerie tone of the game, but it was nearly impossible to beat. My cardinal rule is that if you're not having fun playing the game, then it's not worth it. Believe me, I'd like to play UFO:Enemy Unknown, but not at the price of pulling my hair out. I've even searched the net for any, I mean any, guidebooks or faqs to make the game easier--even cheat codes. I'm really not saying it's the worst game, just the most disappointing. Perhaps I need to try some of the sequels, but I don't like to play sequels until I've played and beaten the original.

[johnmcd]

weird, its a great game. What difficulty level were you playing it at?

[Vladimir Antlerkov]

Let's see, there's:
Civ II (of course )
SMAC
SimCity 3000
SimCity 2000
Age of Empires I
Doom
SimTower
SimEarth
SimAnt (don't ask )

Computer RPGs (like the King's Quest series) are also addictive...

[johnmcd]

Sim Ant rules! it was my favourite game after I'd finished with Populous!

[johnmcd]

Maybe, I wouldn't know, it was the third strategy game I'd played (Chess and Populous the others)and I was very little, and I loved ants.
Its was cool.

[Paul Hanson]

Longfistking: If you think Enemy Unknown is tough, you should try X-COM Apocalypse. Damn, that one is a real *****...
Anyway, if you find that you keep getting toasted on it, the best advice I can offer is to research heavy plasma guns a soon as possible. And during a combat, keep saving the game. If your men die, load the game again and keep trying various methods until you pull through.
