Civilization III (PC) - Didn't like II, not sure why, just thought it was a little repetative. III I like, but only really play it with mods (esp. DyP).

I never got why people hated Civ 3. So many excellent advances. Workers instead of settlers, the whole culture thing was done well. UU's were pretty nice. I can't really see where the game lacks when compared to Civ2. Some complained about the corruption system, but once you knew what you were doing that wasn't hard to manage.

I like Civ III, but I think Alpha Centauri was better in many ways. Civ III has a good AI, and that helps a lot. But Alpha Centauri had atmosphere; it had terraforming, 3D landscape, nukes that made a difference, custom units, sea cities and potentially huge cities. Also, it had the best quotes

So all in all, I think perhaps Alpha Centauri may have been the best non-free game I have ever played.

Another fond memory is Worms I + II (after which they lost it.) and scorched earth. Wizardry 8, Might and Magic 6+7, and recently, UT2004. The Longest Journey, Siberia, Broken Sword 3 and other adventure games.
