Still a little bit cheaper than buying Harpoon way back when, plus the three or four add-on packs the instant they hit the store shelves. That was around $100 total in the 90s, and I definitely got my money's worth on that one.

Looks like a nice game - I'll give it a deeper look this weekend. Thanks for linking it.
Matrixgames also sells the Harpoon Ultimate Edition if you prefer that. It contains all Harpoon games plus expansions and improvements. It's a bit cheaper but I think with less possibilities than Commander and the scenario editor only runs on 32bit systems. I think it's a nogo nowadays when only 32bit systems are supported.

World of Warcraft (been out for ages, yet no one plays this thing WTF?)

and

Skyrim (Sky WHAT? Yea I know VERY obscure title... I probably have one of less than a couple hundred in the world)

Tarnicus: Sky rim Are you able to do this in it?
To be honest, I don't have that mod. I'm sure SOMEBODY wrote one though!

Judging by die infrequent activity on the games' forums, I have a nasty feeling that
evil genius
startopia
kknd
are being somewhat overlooked :P Granted, the first two aren't that far down on the best selling list.
Disciples 2 too perhaps, which would be a shame, since it's the best fantasy tbs in my admittedly meager but honest opinion.

babark: Urban Chaos
From the perspective of the time this game came out, I can find literally nothing wrong with it. Obviously, now the graphics are somewhat outdated, and some people grumble about the tank controls (I honestly don't remember having any issues, or even feeling restricted), but this is still a great game. Granted, I haven't played it in years, but even in the time since then, I could never figure out why it didn't explode in popularity.
I had the demo and the controls weren't as bad as, for instance, the resident evil games.

I always liked the controls for both these games. I always enjoyed Urban Chaos, not perfect but it stood out.

Wow Harpoon, I haven't thought of that one in years!
