- I LOVE tactics games, but have never played Final Fantasy Tactics (initially out of protest since so many people acted like that game invented tactics combat. Sorry kids, Shining Force holds that crown).

Did you ever play XCOM? That series I liked a lot. It might not hold up to your standards, but it was a lot of fun.

Good stuff. I also enjoyed Syndicate, though I'm not sure that counts as "tactics" in the classic sense.

- Classic Mac RPGs: Quarterstaff, Citadel, Wizardry 1 & 2. SO FING GOOD. The Uninvited, Shadowgate, and Deja Vu.

WHAT!? No Realmz!? come on man! I lived and breathed realmz when I was a kid... so good. I even once named my characters after my family and sacrificed them to ogres and orcs. It was a fun childhood.

I have never played Realmz! I've never even heard of it! I'm gonna have to check that out.

While we are on the topic of old school mac games (you had to get me started). The other one that I play a ton was Escape Velocity: Nova which is the third installment in the series, but the first two games were for OS9. The first one came out in 1996... If you wanted to see what it was like check these graphics out!

Absolutely!!!
the EV games were GREAT.
