I would like to hear about these mods

my freind and I play TA all the time, so mods would be interesting

I have to agree with Fez, Tropico is one of the best simulation games ever!!!

Simcity eat your heart out!

Anyways, I ruled in Tropico as a friend of the people and payed everyone 15 pesos with plenty of medical care and education. Plus the music and sound in tropico is excellent.

Unarguably true, you can't go wrong with Squaresoft.
However I have to admit that when it comes to Super Nintendo RPGs I preferred Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana 1 & 2 over their Final Fantasy counterparts, but the abovementioned are Squaresoft games as well so my conclusion remains: you just can't go wrong with Squaresoft.

This is one of the better ones IMO.

Oh, if we're going to go to console games...

Dragon Warrior and Dragon Warrior III. Most awesome games ever made.

It isn't just my opinion. Look at any review of the game and you'll find it littered with comparisons to Diablo.

Another piece of evidence supporting my hypothesis that reviewers are idiots.

I didn't think it was very much like Diablo either. Diablo kicked ass. Dungeon Siege was. . . well, it was fun for a while, but i never even finished it. It just got really old after a while. Quite boring.

I can't think of too many RPG players that would disagree with you. Final Fantasy all but defines the genre.

Three questions:

(a) Budget or Full-Price?

(b) Is your PC up to scratch for playing the latest games?

(d) Where exactly are you? Some of the better compilations of old games are released unevenly...

One other reccomendation I would have for you is Europa Universalis II. Alot of people on this board like this game. IMO it is the best game ever made. I don't know if there is any better historical simulator out there- and it combines alot of the elements of RTS and TBS. It's a really great game, and especially if you like history it is good. Check out the reviews on it.

Wrong, Starcraft is the benchmark for the Genre. It is such a good game, even now Starcraft: Battle Chest is the 10th best selling game out there, and there are still tons of people playing SC on battle.net. However, the thread starter has Tassadar in his name, which IIRC is a character from Starcraft- so he probably already has Starcraft. And if you liked Starcraft, you have reason to trust in Blizzard and get Warcraft III.
