    Actually I wasn't meaning yours, since that was just pure ignorance.

      Yep, did people get ripped off buying a Beeb or what? 400 quid just so little Johnny could play games on the same computer he used at school!

        80s - Super Mario Brothers / SimCity

        90s - Civ2 (I never played Civ1, and so didn't know the addiction I was in for ) / Fallout

        00s - Knights of the Old Republic / Grand Theft Auto 3

            Well, if it's for old b*stards:

            70s - Star Trek (that stupid little grid game where it didn't even know I'd won).
            80s - Empire.
            90s - XCom/Moo1.
            00s - none yet...

            While I've spent the most time playing Civ-style games, none of them had the "wow" factor for me.

              I don't think they had computers in the 70's

                Sure they did...
                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                  I had one in my maths class in about 1978 - it was a strange device made of wood with metal bars and different coloured beads that you could move around

                  @reds4ever - yep a wopping £400 for a 32kb home computer(more if you wanted a disk drive etc!!).

                  still it did have the best version of Elite out of the origonal 8bit releases - i waited in vain for a release onto my humble(but better ) Atari 8bit.

                    80's - Wizards Crown.
                    This RPG had a relatively advanced combat mechanics and huge range of different skill attributes. Also, there were some cool magical weapons to be found

                    90's - Master of Orion 1 & 2.
                    These are the two games, that made me survive the decade (almost to the point, where I was almost dying from deprivation).

                    00's - Civ3.
                    since the only game from 00's I've played is Civ3, then I guess it must be it.
                    I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

                        80's: well, some of the C64 games were good, can't name any in particular.

                        90's: Civ1. definently. it changed my life.

                        00's: SMAC or WarCraft 3. haven't played that many of the new games, and my first real touch to SMAC was in June 2002.

                              SMAC and CS came out in the 90s... is it because you guys were impressed with the game at that decade?

                                maybe they didn't get the game until after the year 2000. I didn't play counterstrike until a couple of years ago. didn't care for it, just like all the other shooters
