Fun!

(Not in any particular order)

Dominions 3 of course.
Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness (Best game music ever).
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (NWN isn't half as good).
Planescape: Torment.
Rome: Total War (largely due to mods).
Master of Magic.
Syberia (in large part to cool story and aesthetics)
Tie Fighter (MUCH better then later "X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter")
Crusader: No Remorse
Syndicate (needs a modern remake IMHO).

This may change as I think about it more.

I suppose you're talking about the original Bullfrog game, not the Syndicate Wars one. I loved that game. It was awesome. I made the big mistake of trying to play it again about a year ago. Don't do that, you'll only risk shattering your sweet memories of this awesome game...

For those who listed Alpha Centauri, are you referring to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, or the Brian Cranford one? (If anyone not related to me even KNOWS what I'm talking about, I'd be willing to give them money.)

Most addicting games I've played, in rough order:

WoW
Diablo II
Dominions X (where X = 2+)
FF Tactics
MULE (and many other classics)
Star Control II must be named...

I'm sure I could come up with others...

In relative order of favoriteness:

Dominions (2 or 3)
Alpha Centauri
Civilization 2
Galactic Civilizations 2
Master of Orion 2
Morrowind
World of Warcraft (an addiction I have since cured myself from, but man did I have fun for 1 1/2 years)
Baldur's Gate
Knights of the Old Republic
Oblivion

I wish Brian Reynolds would buy the rights to Alpha Centauri, and come out with a sequel. Man that was a great game.

Order varies depending what of these I'm playing at the moment.

1. Nethack (only, not other asciis)
2. Baldur's Gates
3. Dominios 3
4. Starcraft & Supreme Commander (ten is too little, so these will have to share)
5. Disgaea 1 & 2
6. Passage (Oh, how I cried and because of "5 minute" -game)
7. Wesnoth
8. Phantom Brave
9. ICO & Shadow of the Colossus
10. (something?, shadow of?) Memories (something?), I have this on the shelf, but can't check now. You play a person trying not to die and keep on jumping back in time to alter it after every death.

I've never played Torment myself (watched from the side), so I don't list it.
