Heroes of Might and Magic is also a pretty cool game - I dunno how the newer ones are, but I played HoMM II endlessly when I was younger. Along the same lines, Disciples II is really really good.

[/ QUOTE ] If you like any of the above games, you should check out Age of Wonders 2: Shadow Magic. It's somewhat similar to Master of Magic (a classic). Also if you want turn based sci-fi the gold standard is Master of Orion II though its obviously dated graphics wise. You could check out Galactic Civilizations II, its basically a modern successor -- haven't played it yet but it has received good reviews. |

There's another thread about XCOM--the greatest PC game (turn-based or otherwise) ever. I believe you can download it free as abandonware, but I don't have a link.

Jagged Alliance 2 or Heroes of Might & Magic 1 on the PC. X-Com is awesome but is not strictly turn-based.
Ring of Red or Disgaea on the PS2. Actually Disgaea is kind of expensive so just get La Pucelle Tactics, same company, very similar game mechanics, much cheaper. |

It's at home of the underdogs (X-com)... just type 'hotu' into google and it gives the url.
The one I've been playing lately is an open-source clone type thing at ufoai.net. So far it seems decent. I think I am going to check out jagged alliance 2 ... i found a demo at download.com. Also, a civ games are good turn-based games too (as a previous poster stated). |

Re: Turn based strategy Games
I'm just curious. What exactly is a turn based strategy games. I've never played any of the above games. Would command and conquer be considered one?
