Hard to define the TOP 5 for me, so I won't try. Here's a list of my all-time Favorites in no particular order:

-Master of Orion II: mainly for the multiplayer ability -- though that community has pretty much died out now =(. I LOVED the flexibility of that game. The AI sucked, but the options available in multiplayer when customizing races (especially with some player-created mods)and the major differences in gameplay that various racial abilities gave is so far unequalled by any game I've ever seen except MoM (see below).

-Space Empires IV: mainly because I love rules-tinkering. The AI is frankly pitiful and doesn't provide much of a challenge with any mod that I've found or created. But I keep playing and tinkering, so I must like it =) I just keep hoping that a lot of the underlying problems will be fixed in future patches...or better yet, that Aaron will answer my long-ago email volunteering my time to help write code in the game =)

-Asheron's Call: though I got out of this game a year or so ago due to addiction factor destroying my life =)

-Master of Magic: If this game had multiplayer ability, I would STILL be playing it.

-Alpha Centauri: I still love this game, though the AI could still be better. The multiplayer works...but not very well. *sigh* Relegated to a PBEM game at this point.

-Stars! Eagerly awaiting the sequel

-Might & Magic series and Heroes of Might & Magic: crappy graphics, but I still love 'em . I hope 3DO weathers it's current crisis and makes more of this series.

-Planescape Torment: The engine was decent, but I have never in my life seen a better storyline for a CRPG. Wow. I just wish they'd make expansions for that game (though they might have to use a different character..heh)

-Civilization: the game that began an entire genre (well, Civ I did anyway) deserves a mention in my list of Favorites, even though I hardly ever play it any more (Alpha Centauri and Civ:Call To Power are much better IMO).

There's LOTS more games that I've played, but I'd have to say those are probably my Favorites. Some of them I even still play =)
