    If I had actually paid for it, Civ2. But my own purchase, it would definitely be Europa Universalis. The only game (at least until EU2 comes out) that can challenge Civ2 as the best PC strategy game ever. IMO of course.

      The best game I purchased: Master of Orion 2

      The best game I played: Civ1

      best = liked it most when it was up to date. Of course Civ2 is better that Civ1.

        Best: Moo2.

        I don't even want to think about the time I spent playing those. Moo2 is still on the computer and I still play it even after 6(?) years after I got it.

            Hm, of which Omega were you thinking? There's a "tank simulator" which was a take-off of Core Wars in which you program this tank/robot. There's another Omega that's based on rogue.

            Maybe there are other ones of which I have no idea.

              They are releasing EU 2 already? Feels like EU was released 6 months ago... Gotta milk the cow before it's too late, I guess.

              As for the question of this thread: Civ 2!

              On the other hand, if I count all the hours I've spent on this baby; all the fights with my ex girlfriend due to me being glued in front of the computer; the months (years? ) it has delayed my Ph D thesis, all the parties with my best friends I have turned down because I was "sick" (heh, heh, heh!) etc etc, then I would say it's the worst computer game I ever purchased!

                That would be Starcraft, a great game that notches above the others because of the great multiplayer option.

                  Imagine "Civ" played across three dozen worlds simultaneously. Now, imagine it costs only $6.
                  This was a fun game... neve finished it... hell never even made it a quarter of the way in. Very big game.

                    The NA version, yeah. It was first released in Europa over a year ago.


                    And EU II is showing to be very good so far, so I'm not complaining.

                      Two Equally the Best, but for differing reasons.

                      1. Civ2 & MGE I've played for hours, even leaving games on hold while I was at work so I wouldn't have to load up again when I got back. Also crashed out after long sessions with the CD music still going since I like the music so much.

                      2. Harpoon2 Deluxe and Admiral's Edition. I've even done some scenario design work in this one. Play time is on a temporary hold because I did a hardware update and don't have the proper DOS drivers available.

                        Boulder Dash I, II - old C64 game.
                        Colonization - a supreme game, spent countless hours playing.
                        MoO2 - still play this game today.
                        SMAC - enjoyed this game far more than Civ or Civ 2. Received about a years worth of game play from this game, but it is now tedious.

                          Yeah, they were great If I had bought them they might have been on the list too. Actually the Boulder Dash games they had for the Amiga where much better than the C64 Boulder Dash games.

                          Civ3 will defently be number one the day I get the game (to Christmas I hope, otherwise 2 days later), but for now it will be The Settlers II who get's the number one spot. Civ1 was better than Civ2 and The Settlers II, but I didn't buy that one, but Civ2 was bought

                              In no particular order:

                              - Civ 2. (Need I say more? )
                              - Diablo I (was lucky enough to find it for $10)
                              - SimCity 2000 (I've spent many an hour I should have spent on homework with this game...)
                              - Doom
                              - Caesar III
                              oh god how did this get here I am not good with livejournal

                                Civ2, without a doubt (Civ 1 is disqualified since it was given to me).

                                Runners-up would be Homeworld, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 and Fallout 1 & 2.
