1. Dominions II and III. I have played this game for years now, 1st on a local forum in New Orleans, and here after Katrina. It has withstood the test of time. The endless variety allows almost infinite replay.

2. Civilization-The Grandfather of all of these great games. Though it does not have the infinite replay of Dominions, it was transcendental for its time. You could play the game 24 hours a day for weeks and be in bliss. No game, not even Dominions, rivaled the original Civ for addiction over the short haul.

3. Moo II- Another great game. Better than Moo, and certainly better than the flop that was Moo III.

4. Master of Magic-many have already given it accolades.

5. Original EQ-breaking the Plane of Fear before any of the expansions was not for the faint of heart. This was a game that will never come again. Before Companies catered to the casual player, there was a brutal game with severe penalties for death. Companies discovered if they made things easier and with no penalties they would get more paying customers.

True, but for hardcore gamers, the original EQ was King.
