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???

HeroQuestThe famous fantasy-themed board game was converted into an isometric-viewed role playing game in which the evil Wizard Morcar must be defeated. You take control of a wizard, a dwarf, a barbarian and an elf, each with different strengths and weaknesses, who each start the 14 missions from opposite sides of the board.
Strict turn-based movement rules apply, as actions other than movement can only be carried out before or after the move, the size of which is limited by a dice roll. These moves are carried out using an icon-based system. Characters can fight the many monsters which lurk, or cast spells to vanquish them. There are magic potions to uncover, but also hidden traps, so mapping is advised. Treasure can be collected, and traded at the shop after each level.Fantasy
