Mechwarror 1-4 aw cool that must be added how could i forget.

I remember a mechwarrior rts that had you control mech and upgrade them but rts style where you had a mech army? anyone remember it?

EDIT: I put Mechwarrior under simulation because i guess that is what it is. Simulation can cover a lot of games like Flight games and Train games so it in there.


+1 for mechwarrior, I'm the Director of Compitition for MWL(one of the few MW leagues remaining. www.mechwarriorleagues.com ) Yes, the old game is still kicking.

Blueshift was pretty awesome. But I like the marine version better. Can't think of name though. :D

Man you gotta add "company of heroes & opposing fronts"

No RTS game has come close to the former king ,Age of empires II

But COH just blows every RTS away

I hope relic continue making this series.... anzacs and japs would be good addition,also naval and air combat would be good

Company of Heroes is no where close to AoE2 imo.. AoE2 is still the best RTS ever.

your right,its such a classic ,as i said nothing has come close to it...but COH

i love them both

There was a time when i would post at ensemble forum alot to make a ww2 RTS, yet they shat out age III,and it sucks as much as battle for middle earth....

Relic is at top of the RTS food chain these days imo tho,watching little soldiers getting blown to bits never gets boring

Halo wars looks ok...

I wanted to make a thread dedicated to classic pc games from modern classics such as Portal down to Civilization 1 and below.

I will make a list if i will organise and update the list if you post games that should be in the TPU list of all time classic pc games. If a game belongs in another list just tell me and ill update.

I think Descent belongs on the list.I used to play that game for hours!Still fun to play!
