That game was something else back in the day. I loved the cheat codes in it as well.

I've been meaning to get into RTSs actually.

Followed closely by the original Command and Conquer, which I happened to think was one of the most bloody and hyper-realistic games of all time back then. I was about ten years old.

* HoMM 3 (I played 2 afterwards, but couldn't get used to it)
* Age of Empires
* Warcraft II (I think).

I actually summed up my old school Strategy days in a list, coincidentally - presented here.
Pretty much encompasses what you guys have mentioned with a few SNES classics. Did anyone used to play Star Command? It isn't Toy Story related! I think I might be the only one who enjoyed that space embargo!

Heroes of Might & Magic III is my favorite.

Actually I have a hard time replaying many games (a lot of them being rpgs) because unlike my erroneous way of thinking in my youth you don't always get more bang for your buck out of a longer game. Sometimes I like games being short and sweet.
