    kinda the opposite for me. i guess it's because i was sorta a fanboy at first. i actually thought they were going to build on the succeses of daggerfall instead of reproduce them by hand. when i first got the game i hated it within a few hours but now after all this time i can take it for what it is - a semi-fun game that is only good in limited doses.

        80's - colossal Cave - (its older of course, but i first encountered it in the '80s) wow, like you can play a game on a computer, not just on an arcade machine. XYZZY!!!!!!

        90's - Sim City 2000- wow, you can play really cool games on a PC??? wow, you can build and model a city. what a perfect app for the PC - and it looks to cool as well.

        Age of Empires -wow, you can fight and be all historical, too

        Civ2 - you can fight and THINK.

          The original is a really good game. It has the "one more turn" syndrome to it.

            Played that one on my Amiga but I was more of a fan of a game by the same makers where you could fight for control of Europe/Eurasia. Don't remember the name though...
            Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

                The original Adventure was quite interesting for its time. Kill a dragon with your bare hands and stuff

                          That hasn't stopped most posters ignoring the original request and mentioning tonnes of games from the 90s instead.

                            Hey, I changed my answers after people protested!
                            I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                              Honestly don't remember. I just know it consumed more time than was reasonable.

                                80's - Elite(on my 'rich' friends BBC computer) + Alternate Reality rpg's(on my 8bit Atari)

                                90's - Civ1+Xcom+Speedball2(perfection - all on my Amiga)

                                00's - Morrowind+Pirates of the Caribbean(both flawed gems)

                                looking at these it seems size matters for me! and when it doesnt it has to be perfect(Speedball2)
