In no particular order --

SE4, Xconq, FO2.

SE4 we all know.

Xconq is a (primarily Unix, but also others now, methinks) VERY expandable open-source Strategic-Conquest-like game. Some of its expandability comes from what appears to be a Lisp-like (or perhaps it's full Lisp; I've not checked... but that would be overkill, methinks) interpreter built in.

FO2: damn fun RPG with a great sense of humor, and highly flexible character design.


Those are the only three I have which get a lot of playing time, aside from the occasional nostalgia game (_Neuromancer_, _Wasteland_, _Incunabula_ mostly).

Temptations (i.e. games not yet bought, but considered) that come to mind include CM:BO, TOAW:COW, and FO:T, but I really should be working on a thesis proposal instead... ;-)
