I love LSN, it's just a little too time intensive for me these days. I loved Warlords II as well, we have similar taste in games.

Burnsaber, I have not played the Gamecube Fire Emblem but I've heard it's very good. Both of the GBA Fire Emblem games are excellent. I think all the games have some junk characyers though.

There is a third handheld Fire Emblem now. Keep meaning to get it...

I was going to mention Fantasy General by SSI myself even though it got mixed reviews.

If you like that game get the semi-new game called Fantasy General.

VERY VERY similar but caution....don't expect to go through any scenario in one shot!!

Fantasy General is a nice game, but it gets a little boring towards the end.

Oh, this Laser Squad Nemesis game looks cool.

And now I've also got a hankering to play Panzer General too (I liked it better than Fantasy General).

Right now the games I have installed are...
SEiv, Dom3 and Dwarf Fortress
But normally atleast once a year I will install on my comp
Imperialism II, Warlords II, Crusader Kings, SNES Emulator to play roleplaying games
and every now and then I load up a Final Fantasy game on the PSII. Except for 9 and 11 I've got all the FF titles to play around with

If you love Laser Squad: Nemesis, you can check out their earlier work, they've been making that sort of game for about 30 years. Grab a Spectrum emulator, and check out Chaos, Rebelstar, Rebelstar II and Laser Squad. Only SP or hotseat MP and obviously much more simplistic, but they're still really playable today. It's amazing how much fun could be put into 48k.

Lords of Chaos (again by the Gollop brothers) is also worth a look for retro fantasy TBS.

And FWIW Laser Squad was very good on the Amstrad CPC.

I like this thread, full of games I played and enjoyed.

Anyone heard of Out of the Shadows, that was a great early roleplaying game on the 48K spectrum, out about the same time as Lords of Midnight.

You wondered around random dungeons with a torch/lantern and each room had so many monsters to kill in real time combat, it was quite tense and frantic. Like when you ended up surrounded by trolls for the first time and dead 2-3 secs later, they used to hit for huge amounts of damage. Had Balrogs, dragons, giant spiders, wishes, magic wands, rods, a shop, teleport, pass through wall. Invisibilty, even you could not see yourself, so you used to bump into walls and take 1 hp damage, also the ring had a small chance of accidently falling off, no fun when nicking treasure from a room full of dragons! The was about a half a dozen quests to complete and each game had 500 random dungeon/wilderness areas.

Good fun.
