i think the one i first played was Centurion: Defender of rome on an Amiga 500. it was also the first strategy game where i just kept on playing it. i loved going into the arena, fighting a big cat, getting my guy behind his sheild and letting the big cat take futile wacks while the crowds approval just kept on going up and up an up before i let loose. great way to keep rome happy.

second one that got me was a little shareware space game with 26 planets, all letters, called Conquest, also for the A500. it had some deep tactics for that time. and i suppose it's more to blame for my playing SE then Centurion.

Empire, on an XT (late on the scene for Empire, of course).

About the same time I was addicted to Empire:
Anacreon Reconstruction

A nifty little, highly detailed, shareware Space warfare strategy 4X game.
