    What are your favorite strategy games of all time?

    Mine are (in order of discovery)
    Mega Lo Mania - Sega Megadrive
    Dune II - Playstation
    C&C - Playstation
    Player Manager - Playstation
    X-Com - Playstation

    Then I got my first PC hehehehehe
    C&C Series
    Championship Manager Series
    Warcraft - of course
    Age of Empires Series

    Current played games:
    CM4
    C&C Generals
    AOM Mythology

    Does anyone have a copy of mega lo mania that works on pc? would love to see it again after so long......

    Age of Empires 2 is probably the best Ive played, and the conquerers expansion was superb, if only I could find it again :(

    Well you have missed Total Annihilation - probably the most important strategy game - a true ground breaker

    Well there are those who say that if haven't played TA you haven't played a strategy game!

    It's about 5 - 6 years old but was ground breaking when it came out. I recently installed it again and it hasn't aged much. A true real time strategy game - huge maps with artillery that can shoot from one side of the map to the other.

    Check it out - you wont be dissappointed.

    Cavedog made it but I think they were bought out or went bust or something. www.cavedog.com

    I know there are plans for TA2 but I dont know anything about it. I dont even know if you can still buy it - maybe on budget or something.

    Warcraft 3

    My fave classic one has to be the first C&C- Tiberium Dawn. Although Starcraft has to be up there as well, almost anything Blizzard's done really.

    I got CM4 the other day but haven't started playing yet - never played any of the previous ones either. Is it any good?
