What are your favorite turned base video games. I is kind of a lost art but i still enjoy them very much. Currently i am playing Final Fantasy Tactics (the last good FF game IMO) I also like some old school ones Like:

Master of Monsters (SG) and Military Madness (Turbo Graphix)

Any of you play those games

Dragon Force and Iron storm for the saturn were awesome too.

Fallout.

If we're talking more tactical, then something like Advance Wars or Shining Force, can't decide.

Civ III and Worms II, which I found to be better than Armageddon, mainly cos the cool superweapons appeared with greater frequency in the former, and with the exception of the aquasheep and the longbow, I wasnt hugely impressed with the new weapons, bring me the old superbananabomb any day of the week. :)

So many to choose from, but my all time favorite might be Dark Wizard for the SEGA CD.

Those are my nominations.

BTW, I have the free updated windows version of Xcom if anyone wants it.

Agreed. Worms 2 also gave a greater amount of control over the weapons.

Worms, even if it is just for the little things like the "HALLELUJAH" (sp) before the holy hand grenade explodes, or the hilarity of having a team full of Geordies
