Civ: Call to power 2 (you like it or you don't - I like it for it's broader scope than civ 2, but it does have it's problems)
Battlezone (the activision one, not the old vector shooter, though that's good too)
Imperium Galactica (Not a terriby sophisticated game, but it has a great atmosphere and I always feel relaxed and comfortable when I play it)
Populous: The Beginning
Urban assault (Another of those games that I love despite their flaws)
Dungeon Keeper (repetitive though, so it gets boring after a bit)
Red Alert (It has a far more satisfying feel to it than flashy RTS games these days. When big units explode bigly with lots of special effects, it never has quite the same impact as the simplicity of a pixelated trooper dying in a totally unremarkable way)

Agrees, but also likes red alert 2. And battlezone 2, teh story sucked but the gameplay was same and yet different to 1.
Dungeon Keeper is fnu if you know the hack to activate skirmish mode
Starlancer, although dated, is the forunner to Freelancer, and is 1 hell of a game still. A SOB to beat even on easy (only just managed it in 3 days w out failing a single mission and killing as many enemies as possible.)
And Delta Force, the voxelated versions, was cool. Not superb graphics, but the whole point was IT DIDNT NEED UBER GRAPHICS, you could go kill people over the net and use different tactics. I personally always favoured the Ninja. The only recent games to reproduce this were HALO and the soon to be released DELTA FORCE EXTREEME (All the Old DF games, but upgraded graphics)
