I just finished Fallout and its a really good game.

I already beat Xcom1 since the last time I posted in this thread
Xcom2 is being stubborn, tho. I've had to restart 4 times already cause the aliens just stay out of sight and I get negative points 2 months in a row.

I found XCom 2 to be much more difficult than the first one.

You know what is a good (old) game, Syndicate. Although it is not turn-based. I have had an itching to play those Crusader: No Remorse games from Origin. Wing Commander world. I think I beat the first level or so.

FLAMETHROWAH



I don't think it has ninjas, unfortunately.



Not turn based, however. I am actually changing my vote to Master of Orion and Master of Magic since they seem underrepresented here.

And one for Lorek.

Oh, Syndicate! That was great.

MINIGUN!!! MINIGUN!!! MINIGUN!!! MINIGUN!!!

OTOH, Final Liberation has awesome cutscenes.

FLAMETHROAH

Worms Armageddon.

Free Open Source Remake of the Xcom Series using the Quake Engine, so you can actually get first person views from squad members.

Multiplayer is supposed to be good too

Maps are quite challenging and the research / Upgrade stuff is pretty deep.

Nigh impossible to get a hold of these days but... anyone remember the Panzer General series?

Pure turn based fun that can't be beaten. Campaign branching, experience, upgrades, elite units and unit management and campaign persistent units. Awesome.

And Allied and Pacific General if you have a moral problem playing the bad guys. PG2 updated the look and added cool commander abilites but lost some of the gameplay and epic feel IMHO.

And to top it off... People's General. You really missed out if you never experienced this. Modern USA Vs China. Just awesome. Air, artillery, tanks... the game ZOMGROFFLE was invented for.

Yeah... I miss SSI.

What about lord of the rings battle for middle earth 2? there's a section of it called war of the ring thats turn based, with dow -like games in between.

I think its a good cross between the two, and it's a bit like whfb, with the mythical stuff, and oldy worldy settings

Oh god, SSI made the best games back in the day. I think we're all showing our ages here..

Remember the old D&D, turn-based games?

Jagged Alliance 2

Warsong was great if you can find it, and willing to pay a fair bit of cash.

I also liked X-com, Allied General, Civilisation 2, Might and Magic and a fair few others.

Jagged Alliance!

Dear god that was a geat game. Think I still have a copy of it floating around here somewhere.

Anyone remember the Silent Service games? Good times.

The subs?

Also - Syndicate was great fun. Sequel, not so much, perhaps that was the timing though. I had almost forgotten that one.

Alpha Centauri!

sA

The second Syndicate I remember fondly.

Not just because of the intro..




But also those sound bytes: "UZI. UZI. UZI. MINIGUN. PERSUADERTRON. SATELLITE RAIN." But also because I can still remember that policeman drone on "Move along. Keep moving."

It was a fun game and I can't wait for the upcoming third instalment, for better or for worse.

Fallout tactics, UFO enemy unknown, HoMaM 3, HoMaM 5

Have PG III on my laptop.

Yeah it sucks that they are gone.

Oh my, I've been looking into these old games. Neat. What's PG3 like?

Its fun like the other Panzer Generals, the maps and everything are a little more detailed. Some of the units still act a bit odd, like a 10 strength Tiger unit being destroyed by a 5 strength T34 unit.

Even with similar experience levels?
