Default So what other strategy games have you played.....

Yes I realize that this is going to be an official nerd thread, but I imagine alot of people here might have known eachother from past games.

I myself have been considered the top Utopia and top Red Alert player at one point in time.

Red Alert is one of those games that stopped working properly on the newer operating systems. I did get it to work a few years ago I remember, but I forget how.

However, I still contend that RA was the best game ever made.

RA was awesome. I spent a ton of hours infront of that game. I wish I could play poker on APB!

I started off playing solely on TEN. One of my friends was one of the better players on there, and even made the final 8 in that $10,000 PGL tourney they had. My friend beat DeepBlue (who won it) right before the tournament started..... but I think my friend, unabomber1, had a huge fear of failure.... because he got addicted to Ultima Online.... and when he actually travelled to Seattle he was terrible.

TEN was great because you could play 6 player team matches, which you never could on Westwood. Us TEN players thought all Westwood players sucked, but as soon as I moved over to Westwood, the first person I played was anglia, he was a really nice guy and my perception changed. Anglia played, but at that time he wasn't constantly playing, so I didn't have all too many matches with him.

For the sake of keeping it out of PM, Nikla basically taught me to get on top of my game. We would play for 10 hours at a time, and I might get lucky an win a few matches. But finally, the student became the master when I ran 7-0 against him and I'm pretty sure that put him in retirement.

I wasn't the best student at this time, so my mom took my computer away from me so I would focus on school. I could only play every other weekend at my dad's, yet somehow that kept me fresh. Usually I would start off the weekend unranked, then by Sunday I'd be atop of cases. The westwood ladder was fun as well, as there was one time during summer that I spent 2 weeks at my dads, and got like 5 names in the top 10. That was probably when I was at my peak.

Most all the RedAlert players could only claim to be the best for a short while, but I was definately the best for a few month period in there, and towards the top for a good year or so. About the time of my decline, I was really good friends, and still am, with EEKtheDog and Pinky95, and Pinky95 pretty much owned me as I was on my decline.
