First, I still think the DW series on nintendo are what console RPGs really owe their very existence to. It is the masterpiece. FF never did for me quite like DW did.

EUII - It's good, but frankly, gets very dull and repetitive. The replay value is that you can play any of the 200 countries (though, in practice, this isn't really true, as most countries are impossible to play and have fun with without cheating your butt off).

There will also be long stretches of nothing happening, and the combat model is an absolute joke. There isn't really any combat strategy involved.

Still, there's enough complexity and variety to make it worth checking out.

You probably won't like Hearts of Iron then, Boris.

Garr, this should be in the "Other Games" forum. I'll never be an emperor at this rate! :doitnow:

That being said:

1. Dink Smallwood. It's free, and has a bunch of free mods (though most of them are crap).

2. Final Fantasy IV, V, and VI. Also Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and Zelda: Link to the Past. Hunt around for an emulator. Sadly, when I reformatted I lost my "favorite places" folder, and haven't had the time nor desire to go hunting for the good emulation websites all over again (why look for an emulator when you've got Morrowind? Besides, I'd played most of the better ones already).

3. Punisher, Alien vs. Predator, Final Fight, Metal Slug (I, II, and X), Samurai Shodown (I, II, IV, don't bother with III). Again, you'll need to do some emulator hunting.

It looks like it will be the same engine.

Here's an interview about the game.

DD--I don't know, maybe, but the combat they are talking about looks a LOT more sophisticated and detailed than EU. I don't see anything that indicates it will necessarily be the same engine.

Jon, that would be a big step in the right direction.

Besides, I didn't say I didn't like EU...I do, it's just not as perfect as some make it out to be. I really do enjoy civ3 more (especially post- patch 1.29! )

One old game I've been playing a lot recently is Railroad Tycoon II.

Anyone else remember Railroad Tycoon I in magenta-and-cyan CGA?

Can't wait until Deus Ex II

Also, Sid Meir's Alien Crossfire. Best game in the genre, IMHO.
