These are not necessarily in order of preference.
1. One of the original Might and Magic games. Might have been the second one, it had 10 or 12 floppy disks, iirc.
2. Anything by Sid Meiers for a number of years: Pirates, Railroad Tycoon, Civilization, Alpha Centauri. Some of the greatest games of all time for me.
3. Diablo 2. Even though I am still thoroughly pissed at Blizzard I might get this oldie again as my other old computer that it ran on until a year or so ago, is now kaput.
4. Shining Force. This was a Sega, I believe. It was a tactical game very much like
5. Final Fantasy Tactics, which is in the running for #1 spot
6. Dragon Warrior on Nintendo, the first one - this was the devil that hooked me into rpgs.
7. Final Fantasy 7 - best of the series besides
8. Final Fantasy 3, was it? I get the numbers mixed up because some are numbered differently at different times and in different countries. This was the old style top down with Celeste, and Cyan and that lot. Really really liked that one.
9. Tactics Ogre - yum
10. I'll add Skyrim to the list as well just so not everything has cobwebs and mold on my list. I am pissed at Beth too for reversing gravity and messing with my decorating habits but it is just such a beautiful gorgeous game with soothing music. I love it forever.
