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.

Maybe there are other ones of which I have no idea.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

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.It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars

Imagine "Civ" played across three dozen worlds simultaneously. Now, imagine it costs only $6.What if your words could be judged like a crime? "Creed, What If?"

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."Let us kill the English! Their concept of individual rights could undermine the power of our beloved tyrants!"

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.

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 boughtThis space is empty... or is it?
