My absolute favourite of the C&C Games, and the first one I bought. I spent so many hours after school playing it alone or with friends. We actually like to take turns at the skirmish, so not actual multiplayer but that was also a huge fun.
For me it was the perfect RTS game and it not taking itself too serious was a huge plus :D
For me it is one of the best RTS outthere, no question asked. It is the most fun RTS ever, with the right amount of cheese, doesn't take itself very seriously, fun units, the gameplay being classic C&C as it finest. Played a LOT back then, and for a while had trouble getting a copy (lost mine sadly) so if I can get it back I'm all for it !
"Warning! Military software detected, top-secret clearance required."
What an introduction to the installer! Probably the best installer I've ever seen for any game or piece of software ever. Even the installer was part of the story and introduction to the game. It had such an impact with the flavor text and feeling like you needed to input the CD-key within the time limit. This is now lost as you generally just download from a store-front with no installer interaction.
The game is a masterpiece all round. Multiplayer was great but it only supported IPX for LAN. I think internet multiplayer was fine.
Well, well, well, if it isn't the nemesis of my mum (apparently 2D guns were always too much in games) :D
Anyway, whatever time I could sneak into playing this game or watch from the sidelines of my cousin, I was loving every moment of it. The different units of the differing factions - especially the more bizarre instances (dolphins, squids, mind control...) - really amazed me. Combine that with an interesting campaign and entertaining cutscenes, you get a winning combination.
I'd love to see the day we finally get a GOG re-release of the series
This is the best game out of all of them I can believe it's not on here already!!! I played this for years as a kid, many days and nights spent playing this. What are you waiting for???
I remember I was about 15-16 years and somehow this game particularly actracted my friends and I, we tried almost everyday to fantasize about possible scenarios concerning characters of RA2.
But the bonus of this game is: we spent a lot of time to play on LAN with 2 PCs at the time, being the only to have this possibility.
Not only a game, but something that powered friendship in both PvE and PvP modes.
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox

SheepSheep is a combination strategy and puzzle game, featuring light elements of war or battle simulations, built around a wacky story in which space-faring alien explorers from millennia ago devolve into domesticated sheep on Earth. Now their ancestors are trying to round them up by secretly enlisting the aid of two humans (Bo Peep and Adam Half Pint) and two animals (a sheepdog and a pet) through subliminal mind control.
Players take the role of the Earthly "herders" to lead the flocks through six worlds with multiple levels, eventually reaching special rendezvous point where they'll be loaded onto UFOs for the trip back to their home world of Ovis Aries. No direct control is exerted on the sheep so players must manipulate objects and obstacles, as well as rely on the strengths of each herder, to accomplish the tasks. Levels have time limits and a minimum number of sheep to be saved from each flock.Comedy
