    Didn't Blizz have PC versions of The Lost Vikings and Black Thorne at one point? Those were pretty sweet games.
    Master of Magic
    Master or Orion
    then both of those again.
    Solar Winds was fun. Kind of space RPG thing.
    Apogee had a hugeass amount of shareware games that were pretty good.

    God, I played the hell out of Raptor. By which I mean the first campaign, since I never had the full version. I farmed the first level for enough cash to buy all the weapons so much I can pretty much still remember the whole damn thing.

    What kind of strategy? RTS? Warcraft II (Warcraft I really sucks), Dune, Command & Conquer and Red Alert are both awesome. Civilization II is good. My friends used to love Steel Panthers.

    Turn base or RTS, it does not matter.

    C & C Red Alert is still my favorite RTS ever.

    It came with another game called Squarez, which was even more addicting if you like puzzle games (and also free).

    You must immediately have my babies. The Medium and Extreme settings were excellent for multiplayer and general mayhem. The basic mode was great for the marathon sessions. I once played basic up til I had 2 million points. At 1 point per square removed. I paused it when I had to eat/sleep/work. It took me about 3 days of eat/sleep/work squarez. I saw that game in my godddamn dreams, or every time I even closed my eyes.

    I am ashamed for not pushing Xcom and Xcom TFTD.

    If you like turn based strategy, Colonization is probably the best game from MicroProse since the original Civilization.

    Hardcore! I'm impressed!

    My little brother really got into it, and he probably ended up playing it for a day straight once. He only got up to about 50k or so, but it was enough that I knew I'd never beat that score. =)

    Not a single person has mentioned Alley Cat yet.



    I'm sorely dissapointed in all of you.

    I visited this youtube channel and had pretty much the biggest nostalgia kick ever. Rummage around and see what you like the look of. :mrgreen:

    Man I have such a craving to load up Shadow Warrior sometime. Forget Duke Nukem, somebody needs to bring back Lo Wang with his cheesy bad Kung Fu movie voiceover. That was just plaing awesome.

    "Oh look! You coming APART!". :mrgreen:

    Star Control 2

    I believe they've even created a Mac OSX port.
