top games so far in this thread, with votes:

Dominions 3 -- 15
Master of magic -- 9
Starcraft -- 6
baldurs gate -- 5
Star control 2 -- 5
Alpha centauri -- 4
CIV -- 4
Xcom 1 -- 4

All these i know save of Xcom that I know after terror of the deep and alpha centauri that I missed somehow.

Also lot of the games mentioned are in my liking but didnt fit on only ten. I have to check the rest that i dont know of.

Read the documentation found by typing "?".

Then download the Michael Mayday graphics mod. The Dwarf Fortress graphics are not actually really ascii characters, they are wrote to the screen through openGL (I believe?), so you can replace those graphics with more eye pleasing graphics .

Hmm, that really should have been on my 'most time spent' list. My taste in games has changed a bit since then, but 2000 had a lot of fun things.

I am not a dabbler, I am a full on gamer. As such, I cannot be constrained by a mere arbitrary 'top ten'. Besides, if you have a top ten list, you're going to see significant repetition (for the most part, the same two dozen games over and over again in most people's lists). So I present a more complete list, not of the top, but simply of games I think of as gems, and would recommend.

Gah these lists are always the hardest...but Ill try.

Most time spent for me was :

Dark Age of Camelot, more than a year of my life to that thing.
Dominions 3, also a year but i play less frequently.
Civilization 2, this changed my gaming world.

Just awesome:

Fallout 2, I know the first one is good but this one was amazing to replay for many years at many different times.
Baldors gate 2 and Planescape torment, I love the old Black Isle games.
Command and Conquer Red Alert. I enjoyed this more than any other version since.
Oblivion, because it is like the most beaufitul game ever.
X Beyond the Frontier, this ignited my love in space sims.
X 3 - Because it took empirebuilding to a new level.
Galactic Civilization, great space game i suck so bad at. I never won a game ever.


And when it comes to dwarf fort, watch out for that game. it is dangerous. You can lose a day to it without noticing and you really start to like your little dwarfs...then you get mauled haha.

Why Neverwinter Nights and Morrowind? I tried both, but didn't like them. I'm actually giving my Morrowind cds away, because I'm just not interested. Would mods make a difference for NWN, or is it multiplayer only?
