The appearance of quite a few new sigs promted me to bump this. (I'm a statistics freak.)

Since someone brought up the C64, does anyone beside me remember Tunnels of Doom on the TI 99/4A? It was a great RPG game with strong elements of strat and tactics. It was also what started me on the strat and RPG games.

For what it's worth, I'm in the plurality bracket (27% at 25-29) but have been gaming since kindergarten on our old Apple II+ and with the D&D red boxed set. The oldest games I remember loving? Chivalry, Aztec, Choplifter, and Karateka.

Good times.

I played MUD games Online before there were PC's or Internet (thats really my picture there).
My first computer was a C64 and that was after I graduated, was in the military, and married.

Machiavelli:
The Prince (probably the best diplomacy style game I have ever seen, best hot seat game I have ever seen)
---------------
Archon II
---------------
X-COM I and II(Duh )
---------------
Master of Monsters(sega genesis only so get an emulator)
---------------
Panzer General(Invading Washington D.C. was interesting.)
---------------


Like to thank the mention of War of the Lance. I had totally forgotten that game. It was awesome at the time.

I'm 26 years old. My first experience with Strategi games was on commodore 64 with the legendary game 'Defender of the Crown' . *all hail Defender of the crown*

29, almost thirty.

I too remember playing Empire on my PC, but it was text X and Os moving across a landscape.

Also played Zork and Sword of Glass.

Then the light broke through and we got Bard's Tale I...

When we got Hercules (4 color) graphics), we were the bomb on the street
