I have never heard of any of these

Game-maker picks his top 5 games
What does a game legend play when he’s not creating games? “Civilization” creator Sid Meier gives us his Top 5.

Never heard of the last one. Heard of the others.
He's very much into games that are popular in Korea.

Well I liked one of his choices, Diablo.
For me it would have been.
- X-Com - UFO Enemy Unknown.
- Panzer General
- Railroad Tycoon.
- Silent Service 2
- Diablo

In no particular order.

StarCraft and Gran Turismo are great. I wouldn't take time out of my day for the other titles he selected, though. Good games, just not to my taste.

My list, clickable for those interested:
-Red Orchestra: Ostfront (Most realistic game I know, and I've played OFP)
-Natural Selection (Balanced asymmetrical teams, it's an RTS to one player)
-Deus Ex (Best game story ever, best single player GAME ever)
-Metal Slug 3 (Contra refined with a great sense of humor)
-Einhänder (I still play this, and I got it in 1997)

Trust me. I'm a video game connoisseur.

StarCraft is one of the best game, I've ever played.

Those of which I've played and are on his list, I can agree on. I haven't touched GT3 or GH yet...

I guess mine would be:
1) Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
2) Fable
3) Assassin's Creed
4) Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
5) Freedom Fighters

I'm not good with listing my Favorites... Those are just off the top of my head.

Sid Meier is a PC Game Developer Legend. Along Wth Peter Muleunex and Richard Garriot.

I am a very old gamer. Some some these might feel ancient.

1. X-Wing. The only game I finished 3 times in a row, I was totally hooked. I switched from Mac to PC just for this game.

2. X-COm UFO Defense. A perfect blend of strategy, rpg and action.

3. Sid Meier's PIRATES on Apple IIe

4. Diablo.

5. Company of Heroes. The best RTS ever made, no if, and, or but.
