    Hmm.... I think the Civ series easily has me for the total number of hours of my life sucked away. Civ I, II, Alpha Centaura, III and IV, I count ALL of them. Other games that have really impressed me over the years though:

    MTW/RTW
    HOMM2
    Close Combat
    Battle Isle/Historyline
    Castles/Castles II

    For me it is MTW, Close combat and Alpha Centuri. Those have whiled away many an hour. 20 years ago I loved a Commodore 64 game called Carriers at war which was carrier battles in the Pacific. I long for something like that now - Pacific Storm looks hopeful. Finally, I would admit to enjoying AOE 1 for many years. Strangely I always wanted AOK and finally got it 2nd hand last year. By then I had been playing MTW for about 6 months and AOK felt really flat after that.
    "Some people say MTW is a matter of life or death - but you have to realise it is more important than that"

    I like patched, modded, upgraded MoO ]I[ (huge and wonderful), that and of course M:TW XL.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    1) Alpha Centauri (Classic. Spent more time with this than any other game)
    2) Medieval Total War (Got me interested in history, and was a great game to boot)
    3) Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (only one of the series I've played, others may be even better)
    4) Civilization 4 (Loved what I've played thus far, but I've had far too little time lately to start properly)
    5) Europa Barbarorum (getting close to what RTW could have been)
