ut 2004, red alert, starcraft broodwar (use map settings online was awesome), americas army, halo custom edition (the huge maps with longswords and pelicans were fucking amazing), civ III, star wars empire at war, kotor II knights of the old republic (mods for this are cool)
I loved that game, even with all its faults. I still remember those maps fondly. I haven’t found another game that quite scratches that slow-paced strategic shooter itch. (But then, I hardly ever play multiplayer games these days anyway.)
Civilization (1/2/3 all sort of blend together for me), Sid Meier’s Pirates!, Master of Orion, Master of Magic, Magic Carpet, Half-Life, Hexen, Team Fortress/Quake, Duke Nukem3D, Warcraft/Starcraft, Diablo, C&C, and so many others that remind of being at home on my Dad’s then-cutting edge computer, before my Dad died, before I graduated school and had my own kids, before my parent’s divorced, before everything got worse than it was, life was good just hanging out and playing games. The games may be “better” now, but I’d give anything to go back to the 90s/00s all over again.
Dig Dug, Battlezone (the wireframe “3d” tank game), and C&C Red Alert 2. Those 3 will always live in my head rent-free, and they’re more than welcome to.
