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.

Lords of the Earth. Buddy of mine, Tom Harlan, started it when we were in high school, it was the first Play-by-mail - we used paper! - that I got really sucked into. And epic...Almost twenty years later, the same game is going strong, still run by Tom...and there are lots of other campaigns....see:

Once that got me, it was all downhill, and here I am...

The Universal Military Simulator on the Atari ST. I especially enjoyed the ancient battles.
