I highly recommend FSW, the first sim of modern infantry combat that is not a twitch game.

I'm pretty much on detox from EQ too... :)

Spent 3 years to get to level 64... then they increased the cap to 70... then I gave up

I spent an obscene amount of time playing EQ.

The most depressing thing I ever did in that game was type /played (or similar) to see how many days I'd played my main char. It was something awful like 120 days - which is real time. I only got to lvl 52 (Ranger) Although, to be fair, I never really tried to level, just to have fun.

On the up side I made a lot of friends. On the downside I don't keep in touch with any of them any more.

In the end, no one I knew still played it, and there seemed like there was nothing left but a bunch of uber twinked power players talking in a code I didn't understand who, seemingly, never had to work, eat or sleep.

Still, EQ2 coming soon.. and a part of me is still saying 'buy it'

I like a good 4X game and played that title a lot. I gave it up though when I started Space Empires IV Gold. Have you tried that one? I particularly enjoy the Star Trek mod.

X-com not nearly well enough represented! How do you get it to run on a modern OS? And wouldn't it be awesome if they redid the graphics and AI and added a bunch of techs without screwing it up like all the sequels or aftermath? A boy can dream...

Oh, but they did. The original programmers of X-COM released another game about 2 years ago; they would have called it XCOM 3, but the name is a brand from Microprose, but they had to call it something else. Completely forgot what the title is; for some reason it didn't have much success.

Do not confuse it with X-COM Apocalypse and X-COM Interceptor, two very bad titles.

By using an overkill of sabotage missions (took me 3 YEARS to figure out that by holding the Cntrl key down you could assing MORE than one team menber to a team ) the game was won "quickly"

Get Dosbox, works a charm. Have just finished X-com again, classic game.

There is an open-software group trying to build a game along the same lines:
