If my 1st post did not count.... i guess i have to follow, your rules..... But I Love HoMM, SMAC, and Civ2 equally....but if someone w/ a gun forced me to choose between them then it would be....
Your first post did count. If you love them equally, you can give them points equally.
I don't mind changing your vote to the one above, but I'm guessing you would prefer it in the previous form.
(And you managed to assign the right amount of points total - 25)
I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
I'm having a feeling that I will sooner or later regret these selections... Oh well.
1 - Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, sadly underrated when it was published. (10 points)
2 - Heroes of Might and Magic (King's bounty) -series... no comments on this one (6 points).
3 - Split between X-Com -series (2 points) and Jagged Alliance -series (2 points).
4 - Civilization - Mainly because of Civ I, though, which was brilliant in its time. (2 points)
5 - Homeworld, a brilliant RTS with a truly unique atmosphere, considering the time it was created. (1 point)
And my honorary (great spelplink) mentions (no points) go to: Thief
Master of Orion
Warlords
SimCity
Grand Theft Auto

5. Anno 1602 (1 p)
I wanted to get this to the list because it's the first computer game I bought, and the first I got seriously addicted to.
4. Outcast (1 p) and X-COM series (1 p)
Outcast is a nice, well written adventure game. X-Com is... well, X-Com!
3. Fallout series (2 p) and Baldur's Gate series (2 p)
Excellent RPGs. You can't go wrong with Monty Python references.
2. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (6 p)
Best strategy game I've ever played, and the reason I'm stuck on Poly in the first place. Great source of fan fiction to write, too. MP, as rarely as I can enjoy it, is excellent.
And, finally...
1. Final Fantasy series (10 p)
Without a doubt. I've played these games for hundreds of hours. Immersive stories (I usually cry at the endings), great music (Uematsu is God), good gameplay.
Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!
Tuomerehu and Kassiopeia, you both have 2 points available to assign to whatever you want. Thief is a good series...
Let me know if you want to use those points for any series.

For those who haven't voted yet, you have around 16 days left.
For those who have voted, how do you think the next version of this should be: Continue with the series votes, or vote for single games (such that a vote for Civilization 2 would be seperate from a vote for Civilization 3).

1. CTP
2. Pirates ( Arrgh! Those were the days )
3. Command & Conquer (Red Alert, of course)
4. Grand Theft Auto ( Not that I play the missions )
5. Defender of the Crown ( C64 & Amiga )
Best of the rest: Simcity, Warcraft, Starcraft, Goldeneye,
Wizball, Ultima, Diablo, Whack the Ewok, Red Lightning,
Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, oh, and of course, Harpoon!
I probably have spent more time on Civ2 than most of the
games I voted for ( 38 hours straight, without amphetamines )
combined, but at this stage, what's the point of voting for it?
